[QUOTE="ArwensDaughter, post: 7166460, member: 6804968"] Until this summer, most of my games were family ones, and we had one set of books. (i do make extensive use of the SRD pdf to participate in a PbP game). My daughter "infected" her friends, and two of them also bought PHBs which they use in the game my daughter DMS. (One of those friends has also started DMing another group). This summer I started doing DnD at the local library. One of my daughter's PHB owning friends comes to that and brings her PHB. It's great to have two of them at the table. Especially since she got bored one day and indexed EVERYTHING with flag tabs on her copy. Last night we only had my PHB, and another of my daughter's friends from her group joined us for the first time. I had DnD Beyond pulled up on my tablet, but he beat me at finding things using the PHB several times. I was amazed, as DnD Beyond is pretty fast. (So much for today's teens only knowing how to use electronics!) My daughter's saving her pennies to buy a set of books to take with her to college.... [/QUOTE]
