Message: <blockquote data-quote="Banshee16" data-source="post: 3705277" data-attributes="member: 7883">Check out the outrage at White Wolf, from players who bought the World of Warcraft RPG Manual of Monsters, and found a few monsters in the book that made references to the online extra material, which was needed to have the stats for the monster in the book..then, when they went online, they found they had to pay for that material...even though they'd already paid for the physical book.  Not pretty.I think that if they want to give extra material for books, you shouldn't have to pay for it.  Maybe you pay a base monthly fee for access, and then if you buy the physical books, you input the key code, and get free access to the extra content for that book....covered by the base monthly fee you're already paying.I think if it's anything more than the $20/month you pay for WoW, they'll be getting really low uptake anyways.  I don't hold out much hope for that though.  Given what they charge for PDFs of their products, they seem to be of weird opinion that a PDF file has as much value as an actual, physical, book.  Unfortunately, the printing costs for the physical book are much, much higher than the costs of generating that PDF, and this should be reflected in the pricing.  I'll buy PDFs at $5-10, but not at $30-40.  Not when I'll have to spend another $20 printing them out....and getting an inferior product, with no binding, on basic printer paper, one-sided, in a 3-ring binder, as a result.Banshee</blockquote>
