[QUOTE="wakedown, post: 2631800, member: 15901"] I have seen countless instances of folks in the 30's crowd "coming back" to the game. Most of us have a pretty full work week and are heavily nostalgic when it comes to gaming. Money is really not a factor in purchasing back some of your youth. If you look at the 'classic campaign arcs' on eBay (i.e. TOEE, Slavers, Spiders) - last night's auctions went for $55-$80 a pop. WLD is a little dry, but Shackled City is great.. Heck, I subscribed to Dungeon purely on the basis of Age of Worms. There's definately some good non-WOTC product out there (Vault of Larin Karr comes to mind) in this niche. For my demographic at least, I know I have money in hand waiting for 2-3 "gems" of campaign arcs that may pop up in the next 2 years. I'm definately looking for a "classic" and I'd expect extremely high production values (full color glossy, player hand-outs) as well as great plot development and an immersive detailed setting. I'm pretty excited that companies like Paizo and WOTC are in touch and developing product here. I hope a lot of the upstart companies don't try to be first to market and compromise on quality while jumping in here. I'm sure we'll see some noise, but the classics will take 6-12 months of development and play-testing. [/QUOTE]
