Message: <blockquote data-quote="Setanta" data-source="post: 160216" data-attributes="member: 2183">I would be interested in checking this out, but my FLGS just went out of business, and he wasn't taking risks like stocking $20 periodicals for some time before going under. So, I haven't actually seen this anywhere. It would be cool if the free preview book was available as a pdf on their website. I'd like to check this out because it would be a good opportunity to get some content from companies I don't normally buy from. Right now, I've got a list of about six companies that I buy from, and I pretty much skip everything else. If I read something in GF from another company that looked good, that might get me to expand my list of companies to buy from (though that might a bad thing <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ). As for the relevance of this forum's reaction to GF's price, I personally don't think that it is necessarily significant to the overall market. Something like GF should appeal to a gamer who wants a broad selection of material to checkout various D20 publishsers. Someone who uses resources like EN World and its boards and reviews to research products is more likely to find free web previews and such and therefore not need GF to whet their appetitie for a particular companies content. So, the fact that most non-publishers on this thread think GF is overpriced and not terribly useful doesn't surprise me. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if someone who isn't into the online thing might find GF very helpful. Does anyone know of a good gamestore on the westside of Los Angeles that I might be able to take a look at GF (and other D20 stuff, now that Games of Westwood is going under)? I'm not a fan of the WotC store in Santa Monica Place.</blockquote>
