[QUOTE="lamia, post: 5413262, member: 93118"] I do agree with the post. I'm very disgruntled myself, trying to run a 3.5 game with all the players huddled around my single PHB because they can't afford to buy the 50 to 60 dollar out of print books. It would really be incredibly easy to pacify me. A reprint. That's it. My imagination hasn't been tapped out, I can keep running games in the same system for a very long time. But in order to continue bringing people into the hobby, I need a little support! But the main reason I came around to comment, is because I am a video game gal. I started on the Atari when I was 4 years old. I have 8 consoles. And I play the hated WoW. The thing I feel gets overlooked is that video games and tabletop have always appealed ,to me anyhow, for completely different reasons. I don't think bringing new players in is going to happen by imitating the video game medium. I think the focus should be on what makes it a unique experience. Video games need not be the doom or our dear hobby! Let each medium do what it does best. I apologize for the slight derail, I just very often see comments about video games being the reason for D and D going sour and wanted to say something! [/QUOTE]
