[QUOTE="ggroy, post: 5327634, member: 83805"] In the past, I didn't really pick up many setting splatbooks. Back in the day, there wasn't really much to pick up setting-wise for D&D/AD&D other than the Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms box sets, and the first several Forgotten Realms supplement books. I left rpg gaming altogether shortly after the FR grey box was released, and completely missed the 2E AD&D and 3E D&D + d20 glut eras. When I came back to rpg gaming shortly after 3.5E D&D was released, initially I didn't pick up many setting books other than the campaign setting guides for whatever I was DMing. I picked up the Forgotten Realms, Eberron, and Castlemourn campaign setting books. It was only when a lot of campaign setting splatbooks were starting to show up in the bargain bins, that I started to pick up a lot more stuff. Initially it was d20 stuff like Scarred Lands, Freeport, Oathbound, etc ..., when they first started to show up in the bargain bins in late 2005 and 2006. Later I picked up many Eberron and Forgotten Realms supplement books, when they first started showing up in the bargain bins after 4E D&D was announced at Gencon 2007. Fast forward to the present day, I never got around to directly using many of the "bargain bin" Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Scarred Lands, etc ... books in any of my campaigns. I only read through these books a few times, mostly for some campaign ideas or encounter areas. [/QUOTE]
