It's an ironic concept that the more money they spend on books,the more things I will let them do. If they buy all the books, thenthey can use all the classes contained in them, but I don't letthem see my books, as I like to keep them in the dark. Don't thinkthat I don't let them use my other materials, but if I own a bookwith a particular prestige class, they will need to find that PRC inorder to gain it. It makes things a little more fun, and it helpsthem to buy more books. They are all first or second year gamersnow, so this is helping us to build up our mutual collection.Paying for my time would be fine, if I was a better DM. I'm good atad-hocking, but I can't plan for the life of me. My players won'tfollow a consistent character, let alone plot. If I charged, it wouldbe for the time spent.</blockquote>
