[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6277824, member: 6681948"] How about for those that have no more issues with obtaining it online than they have with hauling all those physical books around? The online option means you don't have to have that book to use the content. You are not forced to pay for materials you don't have, or abandon the AP, or rewrite it to remove those elements. That's certainly your prerogative. For someone who buys all that material, they likely DO want to see it in the adventures and other products they buy. And I can certainly see why they would not want to pay for a reprint of material they already own, just so we can say "you only have to carry the core rules around". I believe Mythic and the current AP go hand in hand, so one might say that the Wrath of the Righteous was written specifically to support the Mythic Adventures rules (although I believe it was more the reverse, that MA was written so it could be used with WotR). Their4 own 2 para blurb states that "The Wrath of the Righteous adventure path brings something more to your table—an entire campaign, designed from the ground up, to showcase Mythic Adventures. This campaign will take characters to greater heights of power, and greater depths of danger, than any Pathfinder Adventure Path to date!" If you didn't want to be forced to reference MA, why buy that AP? Isn't the Bestiary a core book, like the MM Vol 1 was in 3e? I think even the old D&D modules used monsters from later monster books as well, which would bring in Bestiary 2 and 3. Who does that? Certainly, they can restrict their adventures to nothing but the core rules and supplementary material they publish in their adventure. Is there a stronger market for that? What company is tapping in to it. I'd rather refer to the monster in its own book, and the spell it cast in a second book, and not have to keep flipping pages in that module, myself. I do think the books should clearly indicate what else is required, and what else is referenced but is not essential. Then the buyer can decide. If your feelings are widely shared, presumably you'll buy something else (although I suspect the last AP you bought also referred to outside sources, the Bestiary at a minimum and likely more, and that didn't dissuade you from picking this one up). I see errata as a very different issue. I don't use the errata with the rules - it is the rules. [/QUOTE]
