[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 7768223, member: 5100"] Yes and no. I've been doing Kickstarter for board games for three or four years, now, and I've come to a point where I realized I've got more games than I can reasonably play -- unless my intent is to play each one just once. Instead of continuing to back games just because they look cool, my friends and I are starting to scale back and focus on playing through the games we own enough to really savor them. In the process, we're also getting the game organizers, limited edition pieces (or making our own), and so forth. We still pick up some new games, but we've largely turned to luxury experiences for what we enjoy. What does this have to do with the topic at hand? I think it's pretty intuitive that, when I'm willing to drop $100 on an organizer for Gloomhaven -- itself a $100 game (depending on where you get it) -- as well as several other games in that sort of price range, that we'd be open to paying a bit more for a "luxury" version of D&D products. Granted, there are a few as of yet unreleased products that I'd love to see released, as well. The problem, IMO, is what those luxury and "other" products are. So far, I haven't liked any of the special edition covers. I don't want anything that promotes the Realms, either. I'd gladly pay $250 for a leather-bound, evergreen Encyclopedia Eberron, though. I might pay something similar for a fluff-only collectors' edition of Greyhawk, too (provided it was done "right", which is another challenge). I'd pay for adventures that weren't set in the Realms -- I've all but given up on even looking at any adventures published after Curse of Strahd. What I [U]don't[/U] want to see is a return to books filled with power-escalating feats, boatloads of magic weapons, etc. as was the case in mid-to-late 3.5. [/QUOTE]
