[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 7726947, member: 82779"] I'm glad the price went down. The book just doesn't seem like a $50 value. I don't need the real world names. It's tremendously easy to google those. I frequently use [URL="https://www.behindthename.com/"]Behind the Name[/URL] for names from other real world cultures. As for the SCAG reprints, I never bought the SCAG, and I don't intend to unless I can maybe get it from a bargain bin for $10 or less. So they don't particularly bother me. That said, I can see how people who already paid for that material in the SCAG would be very irritated at having to buy it a second time just to get the other stuff in the new book. I think the reprints are a bad business idea; to me, it only encourages piracy. And yes, I know about the AL's PHB+1 limit, but it's incredibly easy to say SCAG and the Guide are considered one book as a special rule for AL purposes (this would be much easier to implement and enforce than their special subclasses or extra gear for charitable donations).
