Message: <blockquote data-quote="PaulofCthulhu" data-source="post: 3896891">Value for money: If you're going to play it a fair amount and D&D is your interest, then I personally think it's excellent value for money overall.I will hold my hand up and say that the only part of the ruleset I own for the modern editions is a crushed & battered copy of the PHB 3.5 (about $10 equivalent, as it was sold as 'shop soiled'), and I had much fun with it over 40 sessions of the World's Largest Dungeon. You can even listen in on the fun (and the rants - also fun)!For players, the game can be very cheap. For Dungeon Masters it will cost more. Buying as a group obviously could help (if you have a regular/reliable group).With so many flavours of D&D to choose from over 30 years (and fairly easily available through eBay), I think it's at a point where people can pick the edition they want to play, whether it's old Basic Sets or 4th edition or anything in between. Those who love 4th edition can love it, and those who don't, don't really need to (as long as you're OK with your version of D&D no longer being officially suported).I very much sympathise with people who work and don't have a lot of spare cash at the end of the month, even with "a real job". Families, bills and mortgages (especially with house prices as they are in the UK) eat a lot of that net salary.As to the cost, the most effective advice would seem to be to start saving now (if you need to), and buy at discount (if you have to).As always, your mileage may vary.Paul</blockquote>
