Best Part of 4E: Cheap 3E Books!

[CaptainChaos]

We can argue about whether 4E is any good or not, but one great side effect of 4E is that you can find 3E books for cheap. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Atlas and Green Ronin from the Paizo store for $2 and $5 a book. Thanks 4E!

Great catch, Chaos - thanks for the tip. I just dropped $60.

You can expect a call from my wife.

Got a few things myself... including some stuff that they cancelled last sale because of limited supply. Hopefully I'll get em this time

Thanks for the tip. I picked up a couple of items for myself , for a friend's birthday, and two holiday presents. Hopefully, this time, my items will still be available.

This tip's a year or so late...

Not long after 4e was announced, a ton of official WotC books could be had on Amazon for $0.01 (+$3.99 s/h).

I filled out my Eberron library nicely thanks to that.

It's been great!

I certainly was very anti-4E at first, but you're right, it's been awesome on getting great deals for 3.x stuff (as well as saving $$ by not buying the 4E stuff).

And in these economic times, all savings is good savings.

Is she cute when she's angry?

You know whats bad about cheap 3E books? Already owning the ones you want.

Is she cute when she's angry?

Yes, but dangerous. Like a displacer beast kitten or something.

Additionally, because D&D as a whole is arguably now over, it's possible to run campaigns drawing from the entire run of Dungeon, as it will now no longer see additions. That's one heck of a lot of material to draw from.

There's never been a better time to run a campaign that ignores the latest (arguably in name only) D&D ruleset.

Ryan Dancey was right when he said D&D was 90% branding. Now the brand has damaged itself so much, it's perhaps worth ignoring it.
