[QUOTE="Vancian Magic, post: 4416914, member: 74190"] Whether .pdf is the way of the future or a preference isn't the issue. I mean it's cool if you use it over paperback, but it's still a whole world of cheaper than dead tree is, and that kind of saving to the company ought to translate to the buyer. I am an rpgnow addict myself, I love access to random, odd and old .pdfs. I'm not in a position to use .pdfs easily (heaven knows I've tried to...) during play though, and I am one of those who really just loves to have the book in my hands. But regardless of that, .pdf is cheaper to make, easier to store, quicker to 'deliver' to the consumer. Who wants to pay more for it? And as for the dungeon adventures thus far... Well, I don't expect much of adventure modules, but these are not impressive. They are error-laden (particularly the adventure path which takes it well beyond reasonable) and hardly inspiring to date. Maybe that'll change. I'm dearly hoping that along the way things improve all around with the DDI... But our 'free trial' hasn't inspired me to subscribe even if the price is fairly low. I'm not concerned with the price, I'm concerned with the point at which I start paying and what I'm paying for. Can't put it simpler than that. What they have on offer now is not worth my money, and everything else that might be worth my money still seems a long, long way off! [/QUOTE]
