Spelljammer Spelljammer Price Increase - a Poll (MISSING OPTION ADDED)

[Mercurius]

I'm curious how the increase in the Spelljammer product has impacted your buying plans. What option fits your current plans?

Just clarify: By "online game store (or other independent vendor)" I mean any independently owned company that either specializes in RPGs, or is independently owned (e.g. Powells or Noble Knight). And "Amazon" could be another source, as long as it is a larger corporation that likely steeply discounts (e.g. Barnes & Noble or Walmart).

Buying from FLGS. The extra money is worth it for second best setting (first is Eberron).

Have Spelljammer and support my FLGS? That's win-win!

 

[Umbran]

No change, but I haven't decided where I'll buy it.

It looks like $70. Which I think would be a bargain for a three-book boxed set. Am I missing something?

Each book is 64 pages.

They are 64 page books, so all three combined are the same as Tasha's. Still has some nice table utility breaking them up, and a DM screen and big map.

If it really is as skimpy as it seems (only 64 pages for an overall setting guide/gazetteer), then it goes down from "must-buy" to "wait and see reviews".

What price increase? They announced it was $70. It’s still $70. They didn’t say it was $50 then change the price after they announced it. It’s more than a standard hardback, yes, but it’s a slipcase with a screen, map, and three short books. No one said it would be a standard hardback.

Because it is the same amount of material as a hardback, and a shorter one at that (e.g. Tasha's - not, say, Eberron at 320 pages or Ravenloft's 256 pages).

So if you're a budget-conscious buyer, $70 for 192 pages of material is definitely an increase from past offerings, regardless of how one frames it.
