[QUOTE="Sledge, post: 1542232, member: 9324"] I'm not saying that people with lots of money won't throw it out the window without a single thought of the cost. However my money is very tight. Being in Canada that $5 book is actually $7. Roughly an hour at minimum wage. That $7 is slightly less than the price of a ticket ($9) to the local regular movies. I don't have MMS:WE but I won't pay more than $5 for it. I do have 3arrows. Why do I feel the worth of pdfs is around that? For one just dropping the printed version is at least a 75% drop in my opinion due to binding and prettiness issues. So in my mind that $5 pdf is equivalent to a $20 real book. Also I have caught regular sales. I have purchased quite a few books at low low prices. Crimson Contracts was on sale when I grabbed it. Of all the pdf's I've purchased I've only used a small portion. Since that portion requires significant work before usage I do consider it less valuable. That is the nature of the d20 system instead of a specific brand with guaranteed rules. My game will not work with most books as is. That is a fact of life. The value of Crimson Contracts is not $12 US to me. That translates to 2-3 hours of my work or even equivalent to a movie with my wife. A purchase of two inexpensive DVD's or one regular DVD. At $12 few will buy it. Don't believe me? Check out the polls on RPGNow. [/QUOTE]
