[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8842539, member: 20741"] It wasn't an option, but it's worth mentioning... I purchased D&D Beyond versions of the PHB, DMG, MM, Tasha's, Xanathar's, Fizbans Treasury of Dragons as well as Icewind Dale: RotFM, Dragon Heist and Candlekeep Mysteries. All of that was in addition to DDB version of DragonLance: SotDQ (noted above in the poll). I did so after Paizo continued to shill for their licensee Owlcat, the developer of Wrath of the Righteous PC Game (a Russian based dev team, owned by a corporation in Cyprus -- the most corrupt banking system in the Western World) the week after Russia invaded the Ukraine and the West imposed various sanctions. [SPOILER="Blah Blah Blah"]I was not okay with money continuing to flow to a Russian company. I was even LESS okay when Tonya Woldridge deleted my complaint about it on the Paizo Message Boards. Being opposed to the invasion of the Ukraine by Russia -- and saying so -- was "politics" you see. And so she deleted my complaint. That turned me from a Paizo superfan to stopping 2 of my Paizo campaigns at the time (Abomination Vaults and PF2 version of RotRL) and another player stopping his Agents of Edgewatch campaign. I also stopped development of my animations and sounds package for PF2 for Foundry. (No, I didn't release it and won't).
