[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1067403, member: 1129"] "What was the point of this reply? To suggest that I do have an extra 90 laying around that isn't earmarked for bills or rent or gas and car maintence?" No, the point is that if you don't have the money, you don't have the money. No need to post. No need to talk about 'throwing' money at WoTC talking about "Not really" having it around like you do in the first post. If you go to see movies, go out to eat, buy PS2 or X-Box Games, then you've got the money. If you don't do any of those things, stay in and eat rice and noodles, then nope, you ain't got the money and you are not WoTC target audience. I, like others, get weary of people complaing about the price of RPGs as they are one of the least expensive forms of entertainment at their core. It's only that our wants that make us buy other books, that kicks them up in price. It's like people complaining about BESM d20 running 30 bones when it's in SRD and really crying that they want the full color 60 bone verion. RPGs are luxury items. No one forces any gamers to buy them. We buy them because we have fun. We buy newer editions because we hope that they will allow us to continue having fun. [/QUOTE]
