Revision of D&D - disgusted!

[blue crane]

I just heard that WotC will be releasing new Core Rule-books for D&D. I can not believe it!

Here in South Africa, the books cost me a whole lot more than what my US- and UK- counterparts would pay for them. With our bad exchange rate ($1 = R10), how would you like to pay $300 for the Player's Guide alone?

Well, it is not as bad as that, but it gets the point across! I just completed my collection (all three core books) and now I have to go out and buy another set of them?

All I can say is that I am disgusted! Next time, WotC, think about places beyond the USA - and loyal fans who have been playing D&D long before you were a twinkle in Hasbro's eyes! Your actions are killing us out here in South Africa.

I fell for the revised Star Wars Core Rulebook - but this time I am sure that I'll give WotC a huge miss....

Highly disgusted!

We already have several threads on this, so I'll close this one.

However... what's wrong with a company selling something you don't want? You have your current D&D books, which are just fine - you bought them, they have all the rules you need in them, and they've been perfectly adequate up until now. It's up to you whether you want to buy the revised edition or not, but I find it hard to see anything inherently wrong in WotC wanting to sell it to you.

SInce I closed this thread, I guess it's kind of hard for you to reply, but feel free to quote and reply to my post in one of the other threads if you wish to.
