    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    That’s why I try and factor In more then one purpose for the product I’m picking up. For D&D type products OSR adventures have the biggest bang for my $$$, WoTc ones I wait for a deal- I can repurpose moser then a few they put one, and Paizos APs have the worst value to me- if I want one I wait...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    yes. Cover price is $29.99, subscribers get free pdf and advanced shipping. You can qualify for pathfinder advantage and get a 15% discount, however you need to have 4 subscriptions. So you have to spend more money to get it down to about $25. Not really worth it in my opinion unless you’re...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    So it depends. There's two factors I'm looking at. A) How much do I think I'm going to enjoy reading it, knowing I'm probably not going to use it at the table. B) How much use will this have not just for the rule set its made for but other games I run. So for example shadowrun's Final Harvest...

    ICv2 Reports Disappointing Year For Hobby Games Channel: TTRPGs Down, D&D Declines 30%

    Depends. Is it a good retail shops or another half ass one I've seen over the years. Does it provide me with reasons to shop there? Reasons to frequent the shop, other then carrying product?

    D&D General What About Those Other D&D Settings?

    I have to be honest: given how poor some past products were treated when released, I’d rather Wotc make something new then revisit the old. Unless the products get better

    Level Up (A5E) Dungeon Delver's Guide Questions/Errors

    might be me reading it wrong, but Thunder bolt spell is listed as a 4th level spell, but in casting at higher levels it says " for every spell slot above 3rd , the thunder and slashing damage increase by 1d6" Is it a 4th or 3rd level spell? Or is it casting slot level about 4th? Thanks
