Have you bought a third-party product in the last year?

[was]

I have, but not much.

I generally don't buy third-party products, but there were a few things I liked back during the 3.5 days. I was rather fond of Arcanis and Kingdoms of Kalamar. I never played either of those outside of organized play though, and those experiences were limited. I also purchased World's Largest Dungeon by AEG, but that was only because it was a steal ($10 on a clearance rack). In the early days of 3e I also bought some of AEG's adventure modules, but I found them to be terrible in general when compared to "official" adventure modules. I think the third party stuff I was most intrigued by was Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed and Arcana Evolved. Those really sparked my imagination. I also bought the Ravenloft licensed material because, well, Ravenloft.

As for recently, no, I haven't bought any third-party products because I haven't been playing PF or 4e. I've been sticking with 3.5 for the most part. I have all the books and I like the system so I see no need to change. My tabletop group has finally convinced me to try PF for our next campaign though, so we'll see what happens.

Not only have I bought 3rd party products, I've helped in the development of them as well. The RPG industry will not survive if every company is fighting for everyone's precious dollars. Through collaboration, the best products make it to market and everyone benefits. This is why Pathfinder's current business model is the best currently.

I buy a lot of "indie" games as of late. But no "third party."

Arcanis RPS, Rotted Capes, Witch Hunter 2.0, Mouse Guard, Numenera, D&D 3.5, Spears of Dawn.

I voted "yes": I'm counting Zeitgeist (via subscription) and Midgard Bestiary via Kickstarter, here, since I don't distinguish between the ways I purchase gaming stuff...

If it wasn't for Ars Magica, for which I simply buy every (official) book as soon as it's available, I wouldn't have bought any rpg product in the last year (except a DDI subscription). I'm currently only playing 4e.

Yep play Savage worlds pretty heavily this past two years, and love the open gaming license for the third party stuff.

Same here! Hellfrost it taking my money at the moment. Damn Wiggy!

 

[Dice4Hire]

Pretty much no, unless you count minis and game maps (paizo). I am getting the Enworld kickstarter PDFs, though.

I am getting Dwarven Forge from the kickstarter, though.

But 3PP supplements for D&D, now, pretty much never buy them.

Yes, but my expenditure on RPG stuff in the last couple of years has been way down compared to say 5 years ago.

This is mainly because I stuck with 3.5E (not PFRPG, 3.5E). I have all the WotC 3.5E books I really want (and quite a few at that) and enough adventures to keep me going for at least a couple of decades. I've bought a few Paizo books in the last few years (a couple of AP's and some fluff books that interested me) but not much else besides that.

I've bought all sorts of OSR stuff (adventures, supplements, etc.), so a big yes for me.
