[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1723400, member: 13098"] I am a gamer and I am fickle. I don't like to spend money on questionable product. I want to buy stuff that I will get use out of. Many times, I will be looking at stuff I can get use out of soon. Stuff I am planning on dropping into the current campaign is a higher priority. Lately, I have also been looking at mini-games, and games that would make good one-shots. This month was Feng Shui. My birthday present money went toward things like Grimm, Spellslinger, and Virtual. I imagine I will be looking at the new Paranoia Hardcover soon too. I allocate ~ $50/month for gaming stuff. I could spend more (and I often do), but I need a place to cut myself off at. It's a tough gig to sell to somebody like me. But one of the things that catches my eye is interesting, new ideas. On the Fluff/Crunch count, I like good crunch. I also like good fluff, even if I don't *need* it. I hate badly thought out mechanics. Plain vanilla PrCs are junk as well. If you need a new PrC, at least make it with [i]Prestige[/i]. If that means you have to wrap it up in cool fluff that I can use for story hooks, all the better. I may not like the exact way you put it together, but I appreciate the effort for a well made PrC as opposed to a cheap kit masquerading as a PrC. I run a homebrew so I make up most of my own PrCs anyway. But I allow some book PrCs. I also make up a lot of my own fluff, but I am not above snarfing cool ideas. :) There are a lot of interesting looking books out there that I know I will never use. Heck, I don't even have a copy of Eberron. (Nor Midnight, Dawnforge, much Scarred Lands, etc.) I don't really need them. I like to see the diversity out there because I think the range of ideas is good. But I don't need a lot of the books, so yes I sometimes feel like you Joe. [/QUOTE]
