Nearly $30 seems a bit high in my opinion for this kind of resource. Wizards needs to look at a soft cover marketing strategy to bring down the cost on interesting but non essential products like this one. I might shell out $15 for something like this but 30 is much too high a price point for me.

  1. Seems like an interesting game. You're certainly right about 30 dollars perhaps being too high for a game though the guys need to make their money from somewhere if you know what I mean. Games like this are likely on a decline in sales as it is.

  3. But considering many people who would want this are 40 year old men who live with their parents they deffinetly have the cash to spare!
    (not to say all roleplayers are like that, I role play and I ain't like that but the stereotype existst for a reason!)
