[QUOTE="francisca, post: 1731405, member: 9734"] Anymore? Many never looked for it to begin with. I've yet to use a prestige class out of the DMG, let alone from a 3rd part d20 publisher. Same with feats and spells, as what isn't unbalancing usually doesn't fit with our game. I think lots of people bought into d20 early and spent, spent, spent. Now many of those people are sitting there looking at the full book shelves, trying to figure out why they spent all of that money, for so little return on gameday. I'm one of them. Many of the d20 titles I own have seen no use at my table. Of the books I have used, I'm not so sure I got a good bang for the buck (this is of course, highly subjective). For instance, if I use 1 monster 1 time out of a book that cost me $34.95 + tax, was it worth the purchase? Well, maybe, but it had better be one of the best times I've ever had playing D&D. Simply put, the overall return on invenstment just ins't worth it anymore to me. I plan on using the material I have, selling what I don't (at a loss), and very carefully scrutinizing every RPG purchase from here on out. No more impulse buys. I'm willing to bet that lots of other people are feeling the same way. [/QUOTE]
