[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8138386, member: 7023840"] I cannot speak to every country, but I have travelled a great deal (pre-covid). Most countries have access to the internet, either through computer or ubiquitous and inexpensive phone service. There are numerous ways to get access to D&D rules now, whether for free (SRD, basic rules), or through country-adjusted cost. In addition, it is far easier today to get access than it has ever been in the past. I grew up overseas in a time when they only way to get access to the rules was to load up on books (which were MUCH more expensive back then, when you account for inflation) when I was in America. But to answer your question- we were addressing cost, and how that is used as a pretext for theft. There are many things that cost money but are discretionary. Whether you choose to steal them or not to enhance your own leisure time is really a moral question that is up to you, but given that D&D is not a [I]necessity to life[/I], I do not find the moral argument to steal it persuasive.
