[QUOTE="raindog308, post: 5332974, member: 95407"] [b]Old School[/b] To give an old school, non-TSR/WOTC response... Imagine if you "got into" Harn. Harniacs are very proud that there are 2 million words written about that setting (and unlike FR, none of that is novels - it's all GM material). Frankly, I find a lot of it to be over-detailed minutiae that one would never use, but if you "really got into it" you could be reading for a long time. I got into Tekumel once. But I couldn't afford it because it's been out of print forever, the books are hard to find, and when you do find them the prices are ridiculous. (They did release a new version in 2004 but I haven't read it. It was only 240 pages so I'm sure it wasn't everything that was previously published). Ditto for Jorune...which I understand is sadly tied up in some kind of legal dispute. I love, love, love that setting and the 3rd ed box set was awesome. But to go and get all the books would be pretty expensive from a rarity point of view, though there aren't as many of them (I haven't checked prices, just basing this on what's in the "old and obscure" section of my local game store). I think the most expensive setting might be...PATHFINDER! Seriously, the base campaign setting is $50. I saw the River Kingdoms book and it was $20. It wouldn't take long for that to get pretty pricey. The Kingmaker series as I recall is six books at $20-30 each... [/QUOTE]
