Lots of anger going on here, and I'm not sure why.I am fairly successful, and my job pays me a lot more money than most, which makes me very lucky and very thankful this time of year. Even with that said, $105 is a lot of money. If you make enough money that it isn't for you, you have even more to be thankful for.The thing to remember is that for most people, that's not an inconsequential amount of money. High school students, college students, graduate students...you name it...that's a fair chunk of change. It's also a lot of money for a lot of my friends who have houses and families to care for.Now there's the cost of paper, the cost of the artwork, the production, the soft dollar...and a hundred other reasons why it may not be, in an objective sense, an unreasonable cost, but the fact remains that it's a fair bit of change for people with limited means. And there are a lot of people of limited means that play D&D.Frankly, it has prompted me to purchase the books through Amazon rather than my FLGS, which I'm not happy about, but there you go.--Steve</blockquote>
