[QUOTE="hoshisabi, post: 7161103, member: 6676668"] One thing to add: the cost of the adventures is DEFINITELY not part of the price, even if it were it would have been minuscule. BMG writes their own adventures. Now, the cost to WRITE the adventures is probably part of the price. They pay their authors, I believe. They also have a ton of volunteers, a ton of DMs that they graciously put up in rooms if they DM enough, they print a ton of stuff, they may even rent that hall themselves. They definitely have some costs. But everyone else probably has the real full reason on the nose: They sell out, they ALWAYS advertise for more DMs, and they eagerly snapped up folks that volunteer to run "one more slot." (I had exactly two slots open last GenCon, and I ended up volunteering to run for one of them since I didn't think I could get out of the hall and into something else before I had to start my next one.) It's chaotic but managed, and jam packed. In the end, they're a business... so they'll charge what they can in order to make a profit. (though, I can't imagine it's a huge one, if he was just doing it for the money there's a lot of other industries that would take less effort.) [/QUOTE]
