Message: <blockquote data-quote="satori01" data-source="post: 1470332" data-attributes="member: 7859">My spending has gone way down since 3.0 inception.  The main reason of course is with the big 3 books bought, manual of the planes, and Deities and Demigods, anything else is non-essential, and thus has to strike my fancy.A couple of trends with me: 1) I felt burned by WOTC with SS and Races of Faerun,(even though I only paid a fraction of cover price on RoF).  RoF was mainly a reprint of SS rules, and had incongruous mechanics.  SS was made obsolete w? 3.5 for the most part.  Wizards had the benefit of the doubt from me before when straddling the fence, not any more.  Draconomicon was my last WOTC purchase, I refuse to buy their complete line, as I do not want to buy revised versions of things I already own.This trend will continue. 2) I am right now in the middle of a very enjoyable campaign.  As has happened many times in the past, when I am playing, I buy less, as I find myself creating more, rather than adapting.  Buying is like playing vacariously when I do not have a game going. 3) I like PDFs, and the lower costs.  AU and the AU adventures,(Plague of Dreams, Ebonring), were the last physical adventures bought.  Malhavoc PDFs are generally bought, and almost always satisfy me.  I just got burned on a couple third party materials recently from RPG.now, but at low prices I just dont mind too much. 4) With the inevitable release of 4ed being closer rather than farther away, I just do not see the need to buy more fluff, unless it is very compelling.  The 3.5 update left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, I do not want that to happen with 4.0.</blockquote>
