[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9306405, member: 6796661"] I have all the OAR books. I'll never sell them. Most of my for-play material is digital. I only buy books that are beautiful or have special sentimental value, and a few go-to reference books, because I still like having books for certain kinds of references--gives you a better overview and holistic view of the topic than digital--for me at least. The OAR books are like art or literature text books. Great for the essays and comparing different versions of a module though its printing history. The sad thing about the OAR books is that the conversions to 5e tend to be very well done, but I'm too precious with the books to use them when running games. I've thought of photocopying the 5e portion, prepping the maps for VTT, and OCRing the text to copy into a VTT or just running from a PDF. For those that will be released in DDB, I'll check those versions out and will likely buy the DDB versions to actually run a game. Who knows, when I pass away my kids can sell my OAR books for twice or more what I paid for them. [/QUOTE]
