How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

[Jack99]

Considering how the dollar is going, I can afford to say that price doesnt matter. This is ofc within reasonable limits, but $20 really isnt much, I almost pay that much for the pizza I eat when we play every week :O)

Paying for an ad? No, that's not going to happen.

Got cable television? If so, then you do this all the time.

I had the same thought.

I had the same thought.

It's the same with magazines and such too, especially nowadays when magazines have about 50% of their page count taken up by ads.

$2.50/ea is about the limit to what I'd pay for these books.

I'm probably going to pick them up just to get an idea of what the new rules will hold for development purposes. Granted, a lot of the meaty bits will probably be posted here he day their out, I like books for reading. I imagine if they are more than $20 each I probably would think twice.

I'm not paying for previews.

Period.

The only 'preview' book I would be interested in buying would be 100% identical to the PHB, just released months earlier

That one I would snap up.

I'll buy them if they're fairly inexpensive, especially if they contain design commentaries and concept art and the like. It's certainly preferable to reading through a mess of "CONFIRMED!!!" newsposts on EN World.

Hopefully, they'll help me get started on my homebrew campaign setting.

I've got the same hope. I have a number of metaplot to incorporate into my setting along with the mechanical changes, and hopefully the preview books will allow me a head start.
