[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8705533, member: 18"] No. You need to find a 192 page book for $49.99. You don't get to combine books that were sold separately - that's dishonesty, like I was saying (I do agree WotC adventures are usually hilariously overpriced though). I've already shown WotC sold 320 to 352 page books for $49.99 back then. As for your second, edited-in point, sure, and I'd be lot happier with a 320 page book selling for $70 than a 192 page one. But right now Spelljammer is a 192-page book selling for $70, and threatening to sell as three separate books for $90. Also, where are my examples for "full-colour 64-page TT RPG books" that are on sale right now for $30. You said there were several from various publishers, which means you must necessarily know what they are. I haven't found any yet. (EDIT - As an aside, I'd rather see increased prices and a return to solid books, rather than what we have, which is increased prices and even less material than before. I don't think that's unreasonable.) EDIT - I'm not going to push you further on this, but I'm noting you've made two very specific claims, and relied on them for your arguments. 1) "WotC sold 192-page books for $49.99 in 2014" Now I think you probably typed in haste here, but you relied on it for your argument. If you or anyone else wants to show examples WotC selling 192 page D&D books (preferably rule or setting books, not adventures, but let's see) for $49.99 in 2014, or 2015, or 2016, I'd love to see that. 2) "Several TT RPG publishers sell 64-page full colour books [presumably A4 hardbacks, but I don't know if that matters] for $30 right now". I couldn't find any examples for this, and it's a very specific claim. If you or anyone else has examples, I'd be pretty interested to hear them. The closest I could get was Mork Borg, which is a kind of an astonishing work of art, but that's 96 pages for 33.99 RRP, which is quite a lot better. Hopefully someone kind find the examples, otherwise I'm going to move on just assume those were made-up. [/QUOTE]
