Expanded gaming spending poll.

[maddman75]

My gaming spending has gone way, way down. For D&D, I've really reached saturation. I have splatbooks for every class and nearly every race. I have more monster books that I could possibly ever use. Magic items I've got plenty - and if I run out I still have the Encyclopedia Magica and could do some quick conversions. More feats and PrCs than will ever get used. I don't run modules and homebrew my campaign setting. I really can't think of any D&D book that would motivate me to buy it.

I have bought a few other games in the last year - World of Darkness, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and just recently got Exalted. No suppliments for those games either. I'm getting really picky about suppliments these days.

A bit over 450 €, so that's just a bit below $600 US.

Outside of minis, I've made three big book buys -- the AEG book sales (lots of books at $5 a piece... Actually $11 a piece given the outrageous damn shipping cost, but it was still worth it), the Eberron line (2 books is OK), the Complete Book of Eldritch Might (I've eyed it for a long time), the Tome of Horrors 2, and a few miscellany WotC things (Map folio 3D, MM3, Planar Handbook, Unearthed Arcana).

I selected the $200-$400 option without thinking, but now that I've thought about it, it was probably over $400. I must have spent $400 in D&D minis alone (1 case of Aberrations, 5 starters of Harbinger, about 25 boosters... yup, it adds up), plus about $100 in Dragon magazines (they cost 10 euros an issue over here), plus PDFs, plus about 15 books... plus dice... and a battlemat... oh... my...

Way too much.

Wow, you guys spend alot. I hope your making an income that allows that much .

You mean taking out a second or third mortgage so you can go to GenCon or buy more dice isn't a good idea?

Annual Spending

I no sooner clicked 200-400 than I started a mental recalculation and more likely went 4-6. Still, this is a far cry from the good old days of TSR when I bought pretty much everything they published.

Now my tastes vary more than just pure AD&D, not that it strictly speaking still AD&D. And as the 3.0 became 3.5 and as new worlds like Arcanis and Eberron enter the game universe, I find it difficult to resist them.

This year I resolve to be more frugal. [yeah, right]

 

[Ruined]

Yeah, I mis-represented on the last poll. I figured it was hefty sum, somewhere under $150. Then I remember the acquisitions made at Origins, and all of those Exalted hardback books I bought. And some Vampire materials for my GF. At least most of the Scarred Lands purchases had dried up last year! A conservative estimate put me in the $400 - $600 range.

This year will probably be as bad, as I started off the year acquiring all of the WotC Complete series, along with Libris Mortis and Unearthed Arcana. Gonna be a rough (albeit fun) year.

 

[Desdichado]

I guessed $200-400, but that could be short by $100 or so. I really have no idea; I do know that I'm buying a lot less than I used to, though.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

I'm in the $601-1000 range. But if I figure in GenCon, then it bumps me up into the $1001-1500 range.

 

[Romnipotent]

Australian, and Im being conservative as well, I may have spent $800 on minis alone, so I cant guess too accurately.
