[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 9716114, member: 9213"] I'll just say this: I LOVE my hobbies. I support my TTRPG hobby as much as I can when I can. People put work into these products, wether you value the work or the result of the work it doesn't matter. People put time and effort into the final product and if you want to use that product and support the work, you do that with your dollars. If you cant afford it? I get that! But to complain about paying $60 - $80 for a hardcover, full color, 400+ book when if you were paying for the equivalent textbook in college it would probably twice or three times that? Even looking for a specific Python programming book I wanted and that book was roughly 200+ pages, paperback and black and white and it was $73!! It's an option, It's a hobby. Either we support the things that we like with our dollars or they go away. And I guess as a long time Warhammer 40k guy I really dont empathize with people complaining about paying $60 - $180 for a few hardcovers that are possibly going to give them days if not MONTHS of entertainment value. When I can easily drop $60 -$80 on a box of miniatures that I have to assemble and paint myself (And I WANT TO DO THIS. It's part of the hobby that I love and enjoy! LOL) [/QUOTE]
