Another group of note (perhaps, maybe I'm odd) are people like myself who
didn't have the money or in some cases the inclination to run out and get
every single SR book the day it came out. Sure I love the game, bought a
second printing of 1st ed., but I was 14 when I did. My cash flow was
rather weak at that time. I couldn't afford to buy all the books I would
have liked to have had, and nice as they were I'm not buying them all for
$40 a pop on eBay. I also don't buy modules for games I'm playing in (lest
the GM try to run it), so I missed a few adventures that way also.
But if they put out a new book, I now have money, I'm GMing so I have the
inclination and I'll buy it. But I missed out on the initial run through.
