[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7953186, member: 6804070"] Cheap? Yea I think RPG gamers are cheap. It doesn't mean we don't spend money, but we do so in very strange ways. Where I live there are over 3 million people in one of the top 5 urban areas in the US. Want to know how many RPG game stores we have? 3, assuming the Games Workshop place hasn't closed. A million people per FLGS? yea, crazy. But then when folks would rather pirate a pdf than pay $10 for an official PDF, or expect their local store to provide Amazon prices for a hard copy. Or complain about a VTT that costs less than $1 per hour of use. But they are happy to buy a $40 or $100 bottle of alcohol for game night or spend $50 at a bar for a couple hours while they use their pirated PDFs on their tablet... Maybe we are not cheap, but we sure have a funny way of spending our money to support those that create content for what we say we want to support. I get it that models have changed, I haven't bought dead tree RPG in years, and I very rarely buy PDF. But I do buy VTT products and their DLC. And I support Patreons and others that provide content I wish to support. And I don't wine about prices because I know the tens of thousands of hours that go into such things. [/QUOTE]
