[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 5438712, member: 9213"] +1 I too am subscribed to the AP line and the RPG line. I buy other things like the Combat Pad, the extra Magnet Pack, the Cards and occasionally a map Pack from my (relatively) LGS. I also absolutely REFUSE to by a module in hardcopy unless I'm able to get a PDF as well. Hardcopies are great for reading in bed or on the train coming home from work. But as far as actually RUNNING an adventure give me a PDF. I can print out the maps separately, extract images (NPC's, Monsters, etc) print those images onto card stock and display them to the players. I can copy, paste and modify stat blocks if need be. I can copy, paste and modify information about a city location, an NPC and email them to PC's if I feel that it's information that their characters need to know. There's so much that I can do with a PDF, even if it's just printing out the module and laying the pages out in a manner that easier for me to use rather than just flipping pages through the bound book. I also run a Pathfinder Game there at least once a month. I bring this up because while I get my Pazio books directly from Pazio, my players don't. Our session right after the APG came out one of my players went right upstairs and bought her copy after flipping through mine. Another player who had ordered his from Amazon, promptly cancelled his order and bought his from the store as well after flipping through the other players copy of the APG. Pretty much after every session at least two of my players are browsing the store and picking up something. I ve had players come to the game and realize that they've forgotten their dice only to go upstairs and buy a new set of dice rather than borrow some. Granted I still have two players who havent gotten the Core Rulebook yet (one uses Hero Lab to create and maintain his PC and the other uses the Pathfinder SRD) but hopeful if we're able to start playing more than once a month they'll cave.
