[QUOTE="Philip Benz, post: 7869722, member: 6975782"] I find it unfortunate that some folks want to complain about the cost of game books, whether they are Paizo products or not. The authors deserve to be paid, and Paizo (or other publishing companies) deserve to be paid, and I for one find the Paizo books to be of universally high quality. Dismissing a large swath of material as "fluff" is ridiculous. That "fluff" is essential setting lore that some of us appreciate greatly. If we were talking about Hasbro D&D books, I'd probably say the same thing, although not having read them, I can't pass judgement. Game books tend to be expensive for several reasons, partly because of the high production value, and partly because of the relatively small target market for them. Best thing we can do to keep prices down over time is buy more of them. I'm glad that Paizo subscriptions include the pdfs at no extra charge, and I expect the pdfs will eventually be available at slashed prices through humble bundles and similar discount outlets. There really isn't anything to complain about here. Those of us who enjoy our shared hobby should continue to support publishers like Paizo with our dollars, so that they can continue to exist and supply us with more material that we enjoy. [/QUOTE]
