that choice implies that there are other online places that are cheaper. most people use amazon because they know it, and would rather use what they know than search elsewhere for a better price, or better service, or both. that's true of most business. people go with what they know most of the...

well it seems people are concerned that their is a big "markup". and people seem to think that publishers don't make much on books. well, there is a discrepancy there. for example: amazon sells a book with a retail price of $50 for $50. buy.com sells the same book for $33. the difference is...

well someone is either making alot of money or losing money. not sure which.

get it at buy.com. $33 (free shipping) to amazon's $54. Conan

i understand when people add books to their DVD orders for convience, but i don't know why people continue to get everything at Amazon, when their prices (with shipping) are consistantly $3 to $5 more than places like buy.com and overstock.com. even with Amazon's occasional "free super saver...

so far it looks like either people buy online for the price, or they buy from the local game store for the immediate gratification. interesting.

i didn't do multiple choice because i wanted to know where people prefer to get the majority of their books, not necessarily everywhere they get them. i'd add an "online auction" choice if i could figure out how to edit the poll...

forgot to put where i get mine.... i get them online, wherever i can find them the cheapest. duh. i use priceOwl's RPG search pretty much exclusively. i know some of you use similar search engines, but i happen to prefer it to the one or two others out there. :) as far as a "mixed" choice, i...

i see threads on here from time to time about where people get their print RPG books from, and i'm curious to know where most of the enWorlders get their fix.

i have not used any of them in gameplay, but mostly use it as an exercise in creation. many of the entries i wrote i have used as a foundation for aspects of my world, and have spurned other ideas from them.

i really dislike that cover compared to the format of the old one. the blue ones were my favorite.

The Diamond Web The Southlands are known for many things. There are dense jungles, strange animals, the Gorge River Falls, and the ruins of the Old Dhrom. But what they are known for most are precious stones. At the mouth of the Gorge River lies the Great Mines of Njambe [JOM-bay] the...

shameful bump...

two things. first, without trying to be a jerk, i would like to point out that it is not "lab-top" but "laptop". this is a common misconception that drives me nuts. again, i am only pointing this out good-naturedly. second, i use a laptop frequently when i game, mostly with my character info...

Sammael's Chosen In the ancient last days of the Archon Kingdoms, before the coming of Hazekal the Wonderous, dangerous was the countryside and meek were the people beneath its rulers' stiff hands. To be loyal was to be silent. Unrest was imprisonment, and rebellion was death. The words of the...

Jopfor’s Candle House Never been to ole Jop's before, eh? It's a sight no traveller should miss. That, and he's got some right useful stuff tucked in his little house. Need directions? Well... on the western edge of the Old City, on a little cul-de-sac off the Beggar's Run, somewhere between...

Wireworm Gorge On the eastern edge of the Balthor Wasteland, an immense rent in the earth seperates its hostile steppes from the grassy plains of Carfael. According to legend, the crack in the earth was caused by a missed blow from the sword of Lor, the god of war, as he battled Zhaina, the...

i'm not a big fan of fetchbook's interface, and in my opinion, they search too many vendors. it's nice to have options, but not so many that it makes your searching more work... but i guess that's all a matter of opinion. i'll stick with priceowl :)

RoleMaster. spells of like kind are organized in lists. as you gain "XP" you can spend them on the next level of a particular list. each level is more powerful than the last. i think, but am not positive, that all lists had 10 spells. here's a fake example: Cold Law 1. Ice Touch - 1d4, touch...
