[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 7808465, member: 15582"] Even cheaper when you're determined to show up with just a character sheet in hand and make demands of the DM. No offer to share the burden either financially or for in-kind - like bringing snacks. Some players are super tight fisted to the point they claim Amazon is the "real" price and that game shops are "gouging" the customers by charging actual retail. And then see no disconnect when the buy a video game for full price. So yeah, TTRPGs occupy this weird passive agressive head space where many gamers expect a friend to shoulder money and hours of time to entertain everyone else and then get snippy if asked to bring over some chips sometime. As for me, I completely lost interest after hearing the price (said, that's not for me and no one I know would chip in to help and moved on), I have spent that much money on lots of other TTRPGs since then. I am also still going through a huge back catalog of video games I bought super cheap via Steam sales and Humble. All of them are years old, past their prime days of demanding a$60 price tag.
