[QUOTE="thedungeondelver, post: 4757615, member: 34865"] [font=century gothic] I don't agree with KM. I will not, and I will not [i]advocate[/i], having to pay month-to-month to use old [b]D&D[/b] products, whether it's the last 3.5 book released a year and change ago or whether it's a copy of [b]CHAINMAIL[/b]. Not no, but hell no. Sell them via print-on-demand, or find another way to sell PDFs, or don't do it at all. Right up until someone came up with the cockamamie "DDI" the money folks spent on RPGs was, in itself "evergreen". I might have $1500 worth of Dwarven Forge on the shelf behind me but unlike $1500 worth of (bad) movies (for example) I get my value from it again and again. Likewise my [b]D&D[/b] books (and all the other RPGs). Dipping into my wallet every month and asking me to pay for the privledge? Uh, no thanks. [b]D&D[/b] isn't cable service, it isn't a magazine, or a newspaper. Hell it's not even [b]NETFLIX[/b]. If the argument is "yes but these are electronic versions and are therefore software and we need a new model" then throw out the idea of them being electronic. Print-on-demand and let me, the consumer, and a $25 flatbed scanner sort out the difficulties of getting it on the computer. [/font] [/QUOTE]
