[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5365907, member: 51930"] Silly? Trees grow back in a decade, fossil fuels require eons and entire forests. Trees die once, the book lasts maybe longer than I will; this happens once. Every second I spend looking at a book online, or re-accessing or making changes to a character, I'm spending energy. Over and over again. Not really. Color and paper and suchnot is expensive. Players can print things off themselves, but my experience is that most don't. And when you're printing off every character, five or six sheets each, for seven players, on a dinky home printer *every game or level*, it adds up. This is similar to typing one page after another until a novel is finished. Just keep at it, and keep them all handy in a folder. They add up over the course of even a few game nights. Not everything. And leveling up is a huge issue, as is adding more items. it changes the sheet. That's great. Where I live, however, the cost of an ink cartridge is the same as a printer. Literally, last time I checked, it's cheaper to just buy a new printer than buy ink cartridges. I'm not making this up. There's a very good chance you make more money than I do, and that you don't have children. I'm literally counting coins, and money is tight. I can't afford to waste even a few dollars I don't have to. And the CB has so much in the way of pictures and wasted space on the sheets, I wonder if the makers have stock in printer companies.
