[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 697072, member: 530"] That's my point. Comparing movies costs to RPG book costs is a waste of time. It's all about the particulars of each business, not a simple equation of man-hours-enjoyment-time/cost. If enough people are willing to pay $45, then the price is good. It has nothing to do with the cost of movies, that just confuses the issue unnecessarily. It's a red herring. Stick with the basics of production costs, quality, supply, demand, etc. (which you are doing, btw). According to you, the price was good for T20. That's an entire game in one book. I guess we'll find out if the same price will hold up for a monster book, which is only supplemental, with only 2/3 the page count. The Atlas book seems to be pushing the boundary. We'll see how flexible it is. I can't buy the book at that price, myself. I just bought a house and the mortgage is killing me so I can't throw that kind of money around these days, especially with the economy having killed off raises and bonuses despite continued inflation.
