[QUOTE="Von Ether, post: 8620672, member: 15582"] [SIZE=4]I'm wondering if professional DMs find all this kit at this price a good investment because they [I]will [/I]be using it repeated. I suspect the answer is "It would if the career made enough money that I could use it as an investment." And again, I have seen a couple D&D man caves of those who make six figures. They have duplicates and triplicates of TSR products and boxed sets still in the shrink wrap (or it was shrink wrapped after the fact.) Even if they played and used each product ,the extra copies will never get used. People just enjoy things in different ways. As I side note, I probably won't buy these more expensive sets. But I can see how they keep the hobby alive and have some extra cachet. Double side note: I called it. People asked me when would D&D ever get mainstream and I told them, "When it makes as much money as a pro team." When something makes bank, it becomes validated in our culture. Heck, I am a Cypher system fan and I've people become much more curious about that system since its latest kickstarter, [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/montecookgames/old-gods-of-appalachia-roleplaying-game']Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game[/URL] has reached $1.4 Million, many of them citing the kickstarter's as what got their notice.
