[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7727012, member: 7006"] I find it ironic that some people find paying $50 once a year for mechanical options is a hardship when 10 years ago they would be paying $35 every month for mechanical options... in both cases having material they'd probably only use 15% of. Especially now that we've had three years of incessant complaints about WotC not releasing new game mechanic material and cries of "I want to give WotC my money but they won't take it!" Three years of complaints for more character options, and now that they can have them, more complaints of "I'm not going to spend my money on them." Now admittedly, the people in this thread who are saying they aren't going to spend the $50 are most likely [I]not[/I] the same people who've been shouting this entire time "Where are my character options!"... but I do find it amusing how quickly the narrative changes nonetheless. But on the bright side for everyone who doesn't want to buy the book... you probably can all use the UA articles themselves for your own home games as needed because the mechanics have all seemed relatively reasonable (with maybe an adjustment made only here or there in specific cases.) Me personally? I'm going to buy the book because I had the foresight to save the $4 each month for the past year so that I'd have the money available to me. It was hard... I mean I usually had to just buy the Medium coffee at Dunkin' Donuts every day rather than the Large... but I think I'm going to be good. ;) And as far a worth is concerned... I've blown money on much more useless products than this (the 4E Eberron books when I already had the 3.5 setting book), so I'm willing to suck it up just to have the rules in one easily-accessible place.
