[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 7163603, member: 9213"] I decided many years ago that if a game has no PDF suppport then I'm not playing or supporting that game. There have been one or two exceptions since that time (Most notably the FFG STAR WARS game) but for the most part yeah. 5E had thier basic rules as a PDF so that's not too bad. This is my view: RPG's are NOT like a boardgame where the onus is typically on ONE person to own the core game so that everyone can play. If youre sitting down to play / invest time in a game anywhere from 2 - 4+ hours per session, you should at least at some point make the effort to SUPPORT the company who's game your playing by buying the book. Everyone wants to come to the party and drink but no one wants to pitch in for beer, especially table top RPGamers, who are notoriously cheap and self serving. It's a HOBBY not a NECCESSITY. If you want your hobby to continue being viable? Support your hobby. Don't just look around and try to justify your stealing or cheapness by saying "well everyone else is doing thier part so I dont have to..." If you purchase a $50 - $70 core rulebook that supports a weekly or bi-weekly game ultimately in 52 weeks that book will have more than paid for itself. I've NEVER understood or respected arguments to the contrary. [/QUOTE]
