[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6363184, member: 20323"] Whoa. Easy amigo! It is true I am more interested in 5e right now, but I like both systems for different reasons. I have two more thoughts about pricing: [b]Advdnture Path price comparison[/b] I didn't realize the PF adventure paths were each 96 pages, I thought they were significantly shorter. So, in the spirit of my original post (clarity, not obfuscation), I worked out the price per page for a full PF adventure path and the current 5e adventure path, and it turns out 5e is nearly twice as costly. 5e adventure path price per page: 31¢ [color=DarkOrange]PF adventure path price per page: 17¢[/color] So, you were right about a PF adventure path being the better deal and I stand corrected. I should have included price/page data when I first responded. [b]Basic Rules price comparison[/b] My numbers were from the U.S. prices, non-discounted. What I didn't realize is that the 5e books are so costly in Canada whereas the PF book are about the same as U.S. prices. I guess if I lived in Canada that would make me more favorably inclined toward PF for the pricing alone! Whatever numbers represent your location and buying method of preference, there is a bit of a difference in between the two sets of basic rules. That difference is the 5e DMG is supposed to be like a traditional DMG and Unearthed Arcana combined, so part of the higher 5e price accounts for that extra content. [/QUOTE]
