[QUOTE="zztong, post: 7934617, member: 6943414"] I can see this. Both of my regular games (one PF1 and one 5e) are automated. When we were playing PF2, we were automated. Folks in those games are used to it and expect it for systems as large (in rules and sales) as PF1/2 and 5e. I can also say that these days I'd rather buy a good app than the rulebook. A good app will let me get at the rules I need, in the context of what I'm doing, far better than a lump of paper with an index or a PDF. I got to the point with PF1 that I was only buy Hero Lab Classic data files, not books. For PF2, there was one rulebook for six players. For 5e, there's two rulebooks for six players and everyone has access to the books via D&D Beyond. Buying a paper book just doubles my costs with no gain. [/QUOTE]
