[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 1260632, member: 1465"] That's a pity because I was thinking it's the only thing that could make me buy again. Nowadays I have nothing to get from more crunchy bits (well, I could get but not more than 5-10% per book) to add to our games: the 5 classbooks of 3.0 gave me far enough PrCls, after which 99% of the PrCl published mostly repeat the same abilities in different combinations, plus it's always more interesting to write up your own; new monsters are almost always variants, half-breeds or mixes of previous creatures; spells tend to mostly fill the gaps so to completely get rid of any need for "character research"; feats seems to be the only crunchy bits that still have some appeal to me, but since characters get so few of them, I will hardly have time to incorporate new ones in the game. I have less about 10 books and still haven't had time to try the least of them! I had 4 PCs so far (and many NPCs as a DM) and luckily they are still alive. Looks like they should die soon and often to only make me use new stuff, but they refuse to. On the other hand, one good setting with tailored adventures and a growing worldwide plot would really make me invest some money. Writing adventures is nice but very hard and time-consuming, especially if you want longlasting quests with subplots. I would be glad to pay for them if talented authors were to publish... Forgotten Realms has nice regional books for the background but no published adventures to run! Dragonlance doesn't sound nice at all from what I have heard. Rokugan sounds better, but I will surely have a hard time finding someone to play it (and I don't know if there are adventures). Planescape hasn't been converted to 3e. But if WotC knows that I'd be the only one buying adventures, I guess it's fair that I'll still have to write them up myself. And the result usually sucks... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
