A total savings of $23.76 which for me is no small amount of money. As for purchasing from other publishers, if it's not available as PDF then I really don't care, for the most part. (The rest of this is a general address, not specifically aimed at woodelf, so take this however you want to)The bottom line is if the RPG industry fell apart RIGHT NOW with no new product EVER again, that still wouldnt stop me from playing with the present available resources. I dont want the RPG industry to go away, but I also like the extra money in my pocket as well. I've bought my fair share of RPG product from my LGS thousands of dollars worth over the years, so much that I've wound up donating alot of gaming books to the local library. So I'm not trying to hear "buy at your LGS, save the hobby." I think that I've done my share to help keep the hobby afloat, especially for Hero Games and WOTC. If I want to save some of my hard earned cash then I'll do so. It's either that or I get out of the hobby. And If I get out that means my freinds get out, that means my son never learns, that means the kids and adults that I would have introduced the hobby to, dont get introduced to it. I do my part to keep the hobby alive and all these insinuations of behavior to the contrary (because of not looking at the BIG PICTURE or the LONG RUN) are kind of insulting. I've been playing since I was 11-12 years old and buying product since my first summer youth employment job at 14. I'm 33 now so seriously, I've done my share of supporting, I'm not STEALING the books. I'm buying them legitimately at a lower price.  You want to keep the hobby alive, really. Then buy my share of the books for me. If youre not going to do that then there's nothing that youre gonna say that's gonna convince me, and I'm guessing more than a few others that your way is the RIGHT way for me.</blockquote>
