I'll sit on the idea of getting it for a while and think about the chance that I'll ever use it. I'll get the PDF, read through it and see if my interest grows and will start floating the idea of trying it with my normal gaming group or running some one shots with my sons. If I decide to run it and if it has a game system for a VTT, I buy the VTT content. It it sticks and I really like it and the books are attractive, then I get the books, at which time the cost doesn't matter that much. But that time, once I'm all in, paying a high price for the book feels worth it for something I'm already invested in and greatly enjoy. I end up paying MUCH more for the one game by taking this route. I'm missing out on bundles or discounted PDFs with purchase of a physical book, etc. But over all I've saved a lot of money not buying expensive books that sit on a shelf unused. This raises a thought...I wonder if most of the people buying expensive TTRPG books are those who have already invested in the system? I wonder how many people new to a game, especially younger generations, start with buying expensive print versions.</blockquote>
