[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3472863, member: 19675"] Well, I'm one of those guys who is the "Buyer/Librarian" for the group. Everyone buys some stuff, but I'm the one they borrow from when they don't get "product X"- which is usually the case. I even have dupes of some books, like the PHB, since some of the players are so casually involved that they only supply their pencil, paper, and brains. In our group of 10 or so gamers, I'm the only subscriber to Dragon [i]or[/i] Dungeon (or any other gamer mag, for that matter), but someone is always borrowing an issue of one or the other. I told a buddy of mine- a non-buyer- about the demise of the print versions of the 2 mags. He hadn't heard the news, and he designs websites, so he's always online for some reason or another. He looked at me like I'd kicked his family jewels. And, according to him, once the print version is gone, [i]he[/i] won't be reading it if I don't subscribe, since I'm the one he borrows the mags from, and he won't bother paying for it online for himself. So that's one subscriber and at least 1 additional reader gone. I wonder what will happen as the news filters down to the others in the group? (I'm not being snarky, I honestly don't know) [/QUOTE]
