The core books and Pyramid of Shadows were pretty much my only expenditures for the year (except for about 40 bucks in dice and prepainted minis). That's about all I have to spend for game related stuff this year. It's not the main reason why I didn't buy a DDI sub (those are listed in many other threads), but it did contribute. Even at the fairly low price for a subscription, in order for me to spend money on it or any other product right now, it has to be the absolute best product in quality, quantity and usability. EDIT: Now, 15 years ago when I was a buck sergeant stationed in England, and making monthly pilgramages to Other Worlds in Cambridge, I could easily drop £200 a month.  I'd pick up absolutely every new TSR product that came out at the time.  Those days are long gone now. Does it affect my gaming? On the contrary, I'm finding that with people having less and less money to spend on going out, staying in and playing D&D is becoming the activity of choice (well, actually there is one other activity that is higher on the list of preferred activities<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />). My games been on hold since August, but for reasons of scheduling and health issues rather than money. But since both are almost non-issues again, the game should be afoot once more within 2 or 3 weeks (and not a moment too soon, the poor PC's have been standing outside the door of the BBEGs' personal study for almost three months now, they're probably getting tired of waiting<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=";)" />). I'm looking forward to the next adventure (right after they deal with the current BBEG). I'm making my own this time, instead of running a module. It's based on the book The Judas Strain. The book is set in the modern day, but it connects back to Marco Polo. The plot of the book is perfect to drop into a Fantasy Medieval setting. Also the book was from the library, a resource that's getting more and more use from me with my restrictions on game purchases. Since I'm not buying a sub, the only things I'm interested in is maybe trying to stear the wife towards Ari's Advanced Players Guide for Christmas, and hopefully a community supporter account for next year.</blockquote>
