I play AG and I would like to see the price between $7 and $8.  It is on the
pricey side, but I personally judge the price of the game versus the amount of
output you get back and overall entertainment.  I don't think DM is worth the
money because you only get 1 (if your lucky two) pages of output per character.
In AG you should get 15 pages or more.  I think part of the problem is that DM
set the standard for these types of games and people think they can charge
around that amount.  I am hoping that in the near future the GM can be
convinced to drop the price some, but I doubt it.  When you start making a lot
of money...
