[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 6303067, member: 9213"] I'll just say two things: 1) 4E was very expensive for me. I, despite my misgivings about the system, figured the only way that I'd know if this is going to be my replacement or side game is to buy the books myself and run he game. So to faciliate that I purchased the D&D 4E gift set from Amazon for $57.72. I think the actual cost was somewhere close to $75. The thing is that only ran maybe 3-4 games before I realized that I really didnt care for the system. So it's been up on my shelf not being used since 2008. If i'd been playing/running a game using it at least once every two weeks from then until now? It would have been well worth the cost. But as it turned out it was a really expensive thing that I never got any real use from. 2) If youre into D&D? Youre into D&D. And you'll probably find a way to get the books. Legally I mean. I'm not a D&D guy anymore. But if I still were? I would have taken one look at the $50 price tag, blinked once or twice and been like "okay. Well at least theyre staggering the release. Also?
