[QUOTE="darious777, post: 4205529, member: 34926"] Unfortunately modules in 1987 cost around $8. That's $14.94 adjusted at your conversion rate. Making this product come in at a 67% premium over that era. I'm sorry. I go out of my way to find reasons to buy things at my FLGS store. For Christmas I tend to hand out gift cards from said store to my friends. I just dropped $130 on Champions books simply because of the Champions Online MMO announcement. When I heard of Gygax's passing I retired all of my dice and went out and bought new ones. I practically manufacture reasons to throw money at the local FLGS because every store that closes does not get replaced. New stores do not crop up to replace old ones and the ability for the hobby to reach new players diminishes just a little. But if this is the pricing model that 4th ed is using (and don't get me started on the Wizards Presents pricing), I'll be buying fewer things... and getting 'em off of Amazon. My value perception of the item is okay with $20. $25/$30 and it's not looking like a good value for the buck anymore. It's strange but that extra $5 takes it out of my purchase range. I'll bend over backwards to help the Bill Blyden's of the world (not so much the Weird Petes) but I won't get rooked in doing so. [/QUOTE]
