[QUOTE="jephlewis, post: 4602094, member: 81304"] Forked from: [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4601866"] [4E] power card displays vs. single decks [/URL] Sonyuu's comment in another thread regarding the 'official' power cards got me wondering about various accessories and supplements that are bought. Me personally, for 4E, I currently have [my main reason for buying/using is listed in brackets]: 3 book slipcase core rules x3 [needed] dungeon master's screen [quick lookup of info, store notes w/paperclips] frpg [more player options] frcg [already made campaign setting] martial power [more player options] manual of the planes [a little bit of everything] draconomicon [info on dragons, a few monsters, dragon lairs] adventurer's vault [more player options] D&D 'starter' game x3 [introducing new people to D&D, tiles, counters] du1 x3 [I love dungeon tiles] du2 x3 [see above] H1 [premade adventure; I get to see how 'they did it'; helps me make better adventures] H2 [see above] H3 [see above] P1 [see above] P2 [see above] scepter tower of spellguard [see above] ander's power cards in pdf format on my computer [free; practical; good quality] I will probaby be getting the 'official' power cards by buying a display with all eight different packs in it when it comes out as well. Now, as to what I don't have, nor will be getting at this point: 4E minis [too expensive for percieved value in MY opinion] DDI subscription [don't like digital, don't like subscriptions] 4E 'official' printed character sheets [not enough sheets for the money] I have a few minis from the '3e black dragon basic set'[s] because I picked a few of the sets up cheap at hastings last year, and I bought maybe three or four boosters around the same time. I'm not really into digital subscriptions, but I do plan to buy the 'dragon annual 2009' as well as the 'dungeon annual 2009'. I prefer print over pdf a great deal. After thinking about Sonyuu's comment, I came to see that all I 'really need' is the core books, and maybe a grid, and using coins to indicate where the pc's and monsters are. I could do adventures myself, as well as make up new equipment, and magical items, but i've always enjoyed having all that work done for me, which is why I buy supplements and accessories. So, besides the core rules, what 'official' wotc product does everybody buy for their games and why? What do you NOT buy, and why?[/s] [/QUOTE]
