[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5639329, member: 21076"] Except of course those that prefer PDFs and can get the core rulebooks at $10 a pop. Or who simply like to support the openness Paizo has with their rulesets and show their support by purchasing their product in either paper or PDF form. Spyware filled? Where did you grab that from? Show me where PCGen has been shown to be spyware filled? I have cloud based now. I can save my Hero Lab or PC Gen character files to my free Dropbox account and have easy access to my characters from any of my computers and even a friends computer if I happen to forget to bring my character sheet one night. I can use d20pfsrd.com to access the rules from any Internet connected computer - as you have already noted you have done. As for a small monthly fee (i.e. subscription), depends - how many months until that monthly fee exceeds the $100. (this ignores of course that I can get started without spending anywhere near $100). What happens when I decide I don't want to pay a subscription fee? Do I lose access to the material I was using? If so - then that up front fee seems much more favorable. And this I don't necessarily disagree with. Of course you like to use the term grognard - keep in mind Pathfinder players are introducing new people to the game all the time, people that are not long time RPG players. There are lots of new Pathfinder players who are also new to RPGs as well. [/QUOTE]
