I'd personally hate to have to beg for books someone else owns.As long as players own the PHB (or have a print-out of the SRD, though I've asked that we'd have at least have 3 PHBs at the table) and the splat book for the relevant class they want to play (who doesn't want some extra feats, spells and PrCs apart from the true rp hardcore people?), I don't see what else they would have to own (though an extra FRCS to go around would be nice). They're paying for the food and drinks and in the end and I'm still the one who owns all those cool books, so it all works out nicely.If any of them wants to DM our next campaign, they'll have to buy the MM and DMG though. Maybe I'd let them use some other stuff, but only for short periods of time. This doesn't mean I'm a penny pincher (because I've made 75% of the expenses for our current game), it just means I'm not a complete idiot <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
