[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3028263, member: 22779"] The time issue is the clincher for me. My time is worth a couple of bucks an hour. I bought the WLD for 100 bucks after shipping (got a bit of a deal) and haven't looked back. I'm now completely 100% prepped for my weekly game until sometime after Christmas! Without a word of a lie. I'll likely tinker with stuff as time goes by, but, I could do absolutely no prep work for the next 4 months and run a game. That's worth a heck of a lot more than 100 bucks to me. I look at it this way. We've just played 53 sessions of the WLD. We play 3 hour sessions. Five players plus myself have been entertained for 150 hours for 100 bucks. We're going to be entertained for probably another 100 hours more. That's just stupid cheap. Yeah, for me, the primary selling point for deluxe product is how much work is already done for me. If I can read it, and run it without having to do a bunch of work on my own, then it's more than worth it. [/QUOTE]
