Is it just me or is the book a bit overpriced (considering that it's only 96 pages long)?

*Place obligatory quality vs. quantity arguement here*

Just kidding, I think it seems a little steep.

Yeaaaaaahp. I have 2nd Ed., so I got pretty psyched when I read that it was useful for the older versions. Then I checked out the price, and almost choked on my lager.

Oh, okay.

*ahem*

"This book is overpriced. It should be free."

"No! No RPG book is overpriced! In fact, they should cost six times as much! And I'd be glad to pay it! You should all be glad to pay it! If you'll only use it for 400 hours, the cost will be a nickel per hour. It is (weep weep sob) the most cost-effective form of entertainment (cry) in the universe."

That should do it. Anyone else care to add?

Thanks for the review. Especially the detail on the art as well as the breakdown of the material within. One question, how is the spine of the book, in regards to constant use? I've had books fall to pieces on me...

Again, a good review, keep it up

Good question -- I haven't used it enough to give a definite answer. I did have to make the book flat when writing the review, so the book can take at least some stress.

Thanks,


Cedric.

The sentiment stems from empty wallets, the "dark void between the stars" as Lovecraft would have put it. ;-)

Only if a rich person pays and asks very very nicely, and even then I'm not that kind of boy.
yes it is expensive, but hey, in 6 months you can pick it up on E-bay, and you don't need it really do you?
