Ok, fair enough. I just figured that 3/8 in the group that cannot afford the book leaves 5/8 that can. So assuming 1) your group wants to play it and 2) the members of your group are friends, there are ways to help each other out. I too am digital. But after 3 weeks without power, internet...

Absolutely. Larry Elmore. Nuff said. Now if WotC can recreate TSR's magic inside​ the box...

And I'm sure the secondary market will be quite active as people ragequit. BTW, how many are buying it just to justify their indignance?

In the 1e days our group had a communal set of the core.

The PFBB was decent. Didn't care for the pre-gen's. It doesn't feel like an RPG if you dont build your PC and giving new players that "easy button" seems to bypass the heart of PnP. Levels 1 - 10 would be great because I've never cared for progression past that.

I forget, did B&N name it as a PHB? Of course, the name of their placeholder may be meaningless. Twould be nice if it turns out to be a Compendium or Cyclopedia.

A single book for DMs would be great. What is the MM other than creating different flavors of a typically common stat block? So PHB is the characteristics of the PC, and the DMG is the characteristics of the environment...

Maybe I play a bit old school, but we always put the item's details on the character sheet as they are discovered (through trial and error or paying an NPC to identify the properties).

My gut choice is the DMG. But it would be really nice to make them specific to an adventure where they aid in the objective and have a limited use (limited charges, destroyed as a part of the story, or returned to the owner). That way, PCs do not have an ever growing toolbox of insta-wins.

So it isn't the book, but the brand.

Yes. I will likely even drive 3 hours to GenCon just for it if that's the quickest way to get it

Am I the only one that feels like these Pathfinder arguments are like vegetarians complaining about the price of bacon?

And the discovery of the properties of the suspected magic item leads to some interesting play sessions. Comparing its barcode to your list in the PHB...meh

Personally, I'm content with the supplement they bundled with Ghosts of Dragonspear. I find more value in that than them bloating it with an additional 100 - 150 pages of fluff and art. I would be more willing to pay the $50 for a well made Starter than an artbook with some game rules...
