I actually don't understand the collector's passion to have every other published D&D book. I started playing D&D with 3e which was first edition available in our country en masse.Now I bought the core rulebooks and was happy with them. I bought Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting to have some ideas how such world should look like, not to play FR. I bought Enemies and Allies for inspiration as I did bought Book of Challanges. I have Dungeon Tiles which are universal and Dungeon Master's Guide II which I love because of the Robin Law's part about DMing. And I have two Expeditions to...Looking at these books I think I have done good selection. It is not about making characters cooler. Because they are cool enough. For me it is more about tools and fluff ideas. I don't need exact numbers for characters, but the ideas from Enemies and Allies are sweet. The same goes for Book of Challanges. I will probably have to convert the adventures but still, the story stays the same. Just the stats are changing.I never take the numbers as dogma rather guidlines. I usually do stats by guess and by God. Nobody complains, because the game is fun. And I want players to work more with their characters and less with calculator. I don't wish to bring up new generation of rules lawers but role-players. That is why I am not complaining and looking forward to 4e.I will use most of the books I have without any problems. I have nothing I think is obsolete. And I like the way the new game is going. And I am not going to buy the fillers stuff. I am not and will be not interested in new feats, prestige classes, mechanics, spells, magic items and such. What I am looking for is an inspiration. Characters. Stories. Adventure hooks. It might take a time, till WotC will publish some gem like this, but I am patient.I think you should consider your investments. The new edition will not be forever. Look at how long exist 1e, 2e and 3e. If you think your investment is right for that span of time, go and buy the book that will last just that long. But than don't be bitter. You did your own, well-informed decision. Or you can buy something which will inspire you forever. That way you can be happy too.I wish you happy games, lots of fun with this or any other edition and optimistic view of the future.Alek alias Alnag</blockquote>
