[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7528700, member: 37579"] Keeping up is part of it. A campaign book can last between six months and a year, easily. If you take your time and don’t rush, by the time you finish an adventure you might have two I played adventures to choose from. By the time you finish the next, there’s three. Then four. And that’s assuming you don’t take a break for homebrew. And if you didn’t get into game early, there’s even more. Someone starting now has seven full campaigns. So why buy another when you already have two or three years of content? Story saturation [I]is[/I] easier to overcome than rules saturation. As there’s less overlap. It doesn’t matter if people are tired of official adventures, if the next one is amazeballs then people will still buy it. And it’s less intimidating to newcomers. But when people look at three or four existing books they haven’t used, they’re just less likely to buy more. I am pretty satisfied in terms of monsters and races. I could use three or four more races and I think I’d be good. While there are some specific subclasses I lack, those are easy enough to make myself. [/QUOTE]
