[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3465892, member: 4134"] Make that three. Yes, that would be nice. But I'm not holding my breath. Too much of their computer-related stuff sucks (PDFs costing as much as the print version, their crappy message boards, the lousy maintenance of their website and its articles, the failure of all those electronic tools they tried....) for me to think they could get it right. I wouldn't put it past them. They seem intent on bringing people into the fold: They kill of Dungeon and Dragon to take that option from people, and they have been selling errata before. I just hope that enough are smart enough not to fall for it and give them the finger. Bah, that's not being a fan. It's being a fanatic. D&D isn't a religion. I don't have to believe in the Wizards of the Coast and their Divine Gift that is D&D. Besides, that blindly buying everything they churn out, giving them all the money they want doesn't make one fan of D&D. It makes you a fan of Wizards of the Coast. And by fan, I mean toady. Which really is utterly ridiculous. They save a lot by not having to buy paper, get the stuff printed, bound, and shipped around. They cut out most of the distribution chain which means a higher percentage of the selling price will end up in their bank account, too. Plus, it's probably next to no effort to make those PDFs - they need the layout anyway, to have it printed. It's just adding the links and bookmarks (if those PDFs have them). Half price would be reasonable. A bundle with print and pdf would be reasonable (with mark up being a couple of takken at most) [/QUOTE]
