[QUOTE="Ace, post: 2104898, member: 944"] I don't think RPG books that I actually use are overpriced I paid $40 for Buffy and ran 2 great campaigns with it. The supplements and the GM's screen I bought also got some use and were a good deal OTOH a game book I don't play or use is poorly priced at $30-40 I may read that book but I haven't seen a game book yet that is worth that much as a one time read and shelve Another thing that makes D20 seem expensive is the volume of stuff coming out. Eden releases a few books a year -- $35 one month -- nothing for a couple than $27 another is nothing to worry about. Heck even one GURPS book per month (at $35) is no big deal OTOH there are hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of D20 every month -- its not only hard to choose but the value of many books is questinable or limited -- heck I could blow 5 grand right now on books and PDF's I might like and don't have Buying D20 Fleem for $34.95 just for a couple of PRC's and a cool feat or 5 stings unless you are made of money -- its just too hard to choose without feeling buyers remorse sometimes [/QUOTE]
