[QUOTE="Ahzad, post: 2154242, member: 4232"] I went for other. I used to buy everything at one time, and most of it TSR/WotC b/c they were the only one doing D&D until this whole open source thing. The past year or so I've cut my buying down by 70% or more, most of what I get is 3rd party stuff anymore. All my favorites authors have left WotC and now I buy books by author pretty much. I know who's stuff I really like Cook, Cordell, Gygax to name a few and pick up books by them religously. A few lines/companies I really enjoy Conan by MGP (and B5 from them as well), 70% of the stuff by Green Ronin (all the Freeport stuff), all the Spycraft stuff, Kalamar, a smattering of this book and that if the subject matter interests me, and suprisingly very little by WotC anymore I picked up the new complete line (i like hardbacks), plan on getting Lords of Madness (love illithids, and beholders), passed on Frostburn, and I think there was a Sand book? thought these were neat, but only wanted the first 20 or so pages that dealt w/ the enviorment and the rest i thought was meh....FR doesn't hold any appeal to for me anymore and I only bought for years b/c I liked to read the fuff, I rarely ever played there, most of the time D&D = GH for us. Tried Modern out and found Spycraft to be superior according to my tastes, YMMV. Was sad to see Dragonstar go b/c while I never played it I thought it was a neat concept. My players/friends rarely buy anything other than the core book which always drives me batty b/c 8 out of 10 times they'll use a certain supplement over and over, and I've always got to bring it for them b/c it has info they want to reference.
