Now the rules database has me *really* intrigued.  That's a lot of value - I don't have to spend $30 a month to keep caught up - just $10.  I use a Mac, and while I don't get access to the virtual gaming table, this is still pretty sweet IMO.  But admittedly, $120 for a year feels steep.  But I also play D&D often ...I can also let other people use my password.  If they need to, they can get on and check out stuff.  Hell, we could split the costs - if me and my bud want to, he could pay $60 and I could pay $60.  We *both* have access to all the rules.  Of course, I would do this only if I knew the person wasn't a douche bag, but I know plenty of people who are trustworthy and would be up for this.So it's looking like a darn good deal.  I honestly don't think anyone should simply dismiss this out of hand.  It might even open up a new business model for game stores - get wireless internet, stock your store with a bunch of gaming aids and snacks, and let people play D&D by accessing the rules from the data base.  If they really like one of the books they find online, they can buy a dead tree version in your store.  Maybe a game store might even buy access for the entire store, letting everyone use the login (either for a price or for free).  There's some interesting things on the horizon ...EDIT - I actually suspect that the terms of service might limit how many people can use an account.  We shall have to wait and see.</blockquote>
