[QUOTE="oxybe, post: 6272961, member: 80033"] the price itself doesn't matter much, be it 30, 50 or 100 dollars, but rather "is the quality of these rules and my want to play them greater then or higher then the cost of this book and how does it compare to this other list of stuff i might want to buy?" and do note that i am pitting this book against videogames, movies, a night out with the guys, etc... as all these things are purchased with the same pool of money. if the end product is reminiscent of the last public playtest package, then i would rather put my 50$ towards the next big videogame that interests me. simply put, the game reflected in the last package doesn't interest me. if the end product surprises me and winds up being something i want to play i still need to think about the possibility of playing it. my area is pretty much a pathfinder-only zone. other games are talked about, but that's about it. you talk about them, but never play them. so even if this is a game that one i get to read the inside i am struck with a major geekasm, but find myself in a position where playing it is not possible, it will stay on the shelf and pull at my heartstrings like so many other systems before. and then i put the money towards a multiple HumbleBundles or a new big-name game. no matter how much i want a game, i would rather spend my money on a game that i can be sure to play whenever i want over a game i might not ever get the chance to even bring at the table. TLDR undecided, because reasons. [/QUOTE]
