[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4544082, member: 40961"] This whole "pay by the page" attitude annoys the heck out of me. You're not paying by the page. That's a silly perspective. You're paying for a game. The game is either worth the cost or its not. The number of pages it took to write the game has nothing to do with it. The word count of the game has nothing to do with it. Go take a short walk over to the board game side of geekdom. i recently purchased a board game that cost me about ten bucks. The components included only four decks of cards, with forty cards per deck. Did I get ripped off? ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW FROM THE INFORMATION I'VE GIVEN! The thing i bought wasn't the physical deck of cards, it was the game. The game was either worth ten bucks, or it wasn't. If it wasn't, then increasing the number of cards from 160 to 500 wouldn't have made a darn bit of difference if the game itself weren't altered thereby. Deciding whether an RPG is worth its cost by looking at page count is like deciding whether to date someone based on their mass. [/QUOTE]
