Please stop paying full price for rulebooks.

[Ulrick]

I think rulebooks are getting waaaay to expensive. There's a difference between inflation and price gouging.

I have a theory. If a bunch of gamers refuse to pay full price for d20 rulebooks, the lack of demand will force prices to fall because of the amount of supply.

Is this a good idea?

Who's with me?

 

[DerianCypher]

Good idea but it'll never work.

First off, like 30-50% of the people who buy the books would have to stop.

Even if you did get that many people to not buy the books, it could have the wrong effect. Instead of them lowering the price, Wotc may decide it is no longer profitable and stop producing the material.

THEN where would we be?

Yup! Too expensive! Buy PDFs!

More likely, it will bankrupt the small companies that need those prices to make a decent profit. Thereby decreasing the available supply of d20 books and allowing the remaining companies to keep their high prices.

I suggest buying the best books and rewarding the companies who produce a quality product.

Bah! Pessimism.

What would that be? I would not take the job of a game designer, I need to feed my family and could not do it on thier pay. I don't like paying $40.00 + for a gaming book, so I have become more selective but the books I buy are typically worth the $40.00.
