I’m stating a fact that many may not like but it is a fact. It is financially irresponsible to pay 50 bucks for 32-50 pages of material. Ten years ago we would have been counting pages and measuring the page count to cost to determine value in books we purchased for gaming. Sourcebooks had greater value To the dollar in those days With useable material to drop into any campaign while now the focus is on modules/adventures and it’s great don’t get me wrong and that material adds value to those adventures but if I’m not running the adventure then how is it responsible, with the current uncertainty, to pay fifty bucks for Avernus for the Baldur’s Gate section for my home brew game in Baldur’s Gate as some suggest the material be used? Personally I don’t have money issues, I have an essential job but these are questions we need to ask right now and for the foreseeable future as the market is going to change the longer this Recession continues.  We may be seeing people return to work but it’s also slow and unsteady and could fall apart in a matter of months if not handled correctly which, if you watch the news and how people are going about their business it is not. These are necessary things to think about and not act like pie in the sky everything is hunky dory. A few months ago sure, tell em to buy Avernus, it’s got the BG gazetteer, vehicle rules, awesome monsters and a Mad Max inspired gonzo adventure in it. Now? I don’t know someone’s financial situation so I’d rather have a good FRCS book to point people to than tell them to buy the SCAG. Me? I’m planning a Wildemount game after my Waterdeep campaign.</p></blockquote><p></p>
