I have been very tempted to pick up Testament even though I own it. I gave it to a friend for her birthday one year and later found a version for myself. Someday I might run a campaign, and at $2 each I can afford to buy a few copies so everyone has their own copy when they play.cougent said:Then there are sales of things I already want but don't have that tempt me to go spend, but on previously created products and while that benefitrs me, it still doesn't help the publishers with future projects.

Thought I'd pass the scoop along.
Piratecat said:Yup, it bothered me.
I recommend something much more effective than a petition, though. You want publishers to keep making 3e-compatible products? then vote with your wallet. Go, right now and every month between now and the end of next year, and buy 3.5 pdfs and published books. the only way publishers will keep producing is if people are buying... so show them you're willing to do so.
Actually, I've been reading that quite a lot of people are not happy with what they've seen and read regarding 4th edition. That would make for a nice niche market for a company sticking with 3.X.Glyfair said:I think that's exactly the point. Do you think that somehow the release of 4E is going to magically make them want to buy products for a "dead" system?

The problem with this (and this is no stab at you) is that people who are unhappy tend to be more vocal than people who are. Thus, most of the loud or numerous posts you'll see are people who are unhappy with 4e and those post tend to be generated by the same small group of people. From my semi-lurking on the 4e Forums, Wizards site, RPGnet, etc., I've noticed this trend.cperkins said:Actually, I've been reading that quite a lot of people are not happy with what they've seen and read regarding 4th edition.
If this niche market were significant, then the sales of 3.X stuff would not be tanking as badly as it has been. Unless you're suggesting that this niche will suddenly start buying more once 4E is actually released, which does not seem likely.cperkins said:Actually, I've been reading that quite a lot of people are not happy with what they've seen and read regarding 4th edition.
