Shadowdark did a lot of similar exiling, albeit to a very different end - like dumping non-resource-consuming ways to have light and dumping darkvision/infravision entirely.I've backed at the PDF level. I'm excited by the game, but yes not excited by transatlantic shipping costs, which tend to be a lot higher than the mark-up of buying the actual books when they appear in the FLGS (usually Leisure Games if we're being real).</blockquote>
