[QUOTE="machineelf, post: 7160896, member: 6774924"] Tell them that the Player's Handbook is only $30 on Amazon. And that's an incredible value for playing a super fun game with friends once a week for a year or more. I've played with my current group for over two years now. That $30 investment is well worth it. I mean, geeze, $30 is just one meal and drinks at a decent restaurant. Surely they can pony up that much for a game that will bring hundreds of hours of fun. Tell them not to steal. Yes, it's unfortunate that WOTC doesn't have a good digital option at the moment, but people put a lot of hard work into making those books and making a great game. Those people have to put food on their tables and pay their bills. I don't allow people who steal the books to play at my table. Now if they buy the books and then want to use PDFs for ease at the table, that's fine. But just getting out of paying anything for the books doesn't fly with me.
