[QUOTE="Blue, post: 5504550, member: 20564"] In some ways I think they shot themselves in the foot in terms of printed books. From where I'm sitting now I can look over the see the bookshelf+ full of 3.5 hardcovers I purchased from WotC. A good foot of ti is the white bindings of Forgotten Realms books, some other campaigns, lots of complete books, monster manuals, etc. A few of the 3.0 splatbooks as well, though most of my 3.0 stuff was long given away. My 4ed stuff is such a small collection next to it. Three setting books covering three settings (I don't run them so only have the player-oriented ones). Very few planes/undead/dragon/etc expansions (though some were very good - love reading The Plane Above). Various Core and Power books, but not all of them since I can get it from DDI. And DDI is the big point of having less books; did I want to spend money on hardcover books or an electronic subscription to them? With the rash of errata we used to have, the subscription made more sense. But if tomorrow they came out with 5e and cancelled DDI, I would be hard pressed to continue the games I play because of it. I can easily believe WotC doesn't think D&D can be supported as a purely printed game. Because looking at my choices as a microcosm, I spend a lot less on printed material than I did for earlier editions, mostly because of their non-printed offering: DDI. So I still purchase some, but more ones where I'm looking for the flavor. For crunch I have DDI. With the lack of publication there isn't anything more I could purchase anyway, though with a few notable exceptions Dragon and Dungeon haven't been filling that gap so my DDI subscription fee is basically just "you still get access to the compendium".
