[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 4402204, member: 13703"] In my current group I am the DM and I probably own more books than the rest of the group put together. I have all the Complete series except for Complete Champion as well as a whole heap of other splatbooks like the MIC, RC, SC, etc., In addition I have over a thousand minis, battlemats, a heap of Dungeon Tiles and plenty of dice. The books distribution in my group varies significantly. One player is in my group is new to D&D (my game was his first campaign) and does not own any books. Another player has played 3.5E D&D for many years now but only bought a PHB about 6 months ago. I think that is the only 3.5E D&D book he owns a hardcopy of. He has most of the WotC books in PDF via illegal downloads. :mad: A third player of mine also DM's another group. He has the core 3, a couple of extra MM's and one or two other books. The other two players in my group are brothers. One of the brothers owns the core books, the entire Complete series as well as a couple of hundred minis. As a result the other brother just shares his brother's stuff. 2 previous players in my group did not own a single 3.5E book between them (not even the PHB), despite playing in my campaign for almost 2 years. One of the 2 had the 3.0 core rulebooks but that was it. I asked on a number of occasions if they were going to buy a PHB and they said no. One of the guys borrowed a 3.5E PHB from another friend of theirs for a while but that was it. Their refusal to buy a PHB really used to bug me, especially as we always seemed to be short of PHB's at the table. It wasn't like they couldn't afford to buy a PHB. I wouldn't have minded even if they decided to split one between them. They just didn't seem to want to. :hmm: Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
