[QUOTE="sithramir, post: 1001796, member: 12183"] [b]Re: Re: WoTC books are CHEAP![/b] This arguement is flawed. You still have to spend lots of bucks on the computer so please add that in. Now add in the cost of electric bill per month for your computer usage. Now add in the cost of having internet for internet games. Don't forget that 1 DMG, MM, PHB can entertain as many friends as you have without them spending the money (if you are that cheap). You could with those books play games for the rest of your life while you still spent thousands to play half-life when you consider you have to pay monthly fees plus the computer cost.

It is the fact that if you already own books you can play without upgrades, but if you spend money on the upgrades its still relatively cheap because you DON"T need to buy splat books to enjoy it. Just because its upgraded doesn't mean people can't or aren't still playing old editions or even have to look on boards to worry about newer versions if they don't want to.
