[QUOTE="delericho, post: 5333064, member: 22424"] It varies. Back in 2nd Edition days, I got the base boxed set for many of the settings (Spelljammer, Ravenloft, Dark Sun) and then very little else. During my Vampire: the Masquerade days, I basically bought everything that was released (at least for the "Revised Edition" era up to "Gehenna"). In 3e, I bought the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting main book, and then when the time came to actually run a campaign there I bought a couple of relevant books to go with it. This year, I have bought a complete set of the 3e Eberron books (excluding the "Adventurer's Guide". Oh, and the main book, which I got when it was first released). This was partly because my FLGS had a whole bunch of them at big discounts, and partly because I was running a game there. At this point, my only game-related purchases are my ongoing subscription to the Pathfinder Adventure Path product. I have no expectation to run either Pathfinder or D&D 4e, and so won't be spending money on anything for those systems. However, if I [I]were[/I] to get back in (say with a theoretical D&D 5e), my ideal model for a campaign setting would probably be similar to that of Al Qadim or 3e Eberron - a fairly small number of books that manage to detail the setting quite well but not exhaustively. The 4e model is quite close to this, but it a bit too "bare bones" for my taste. [/QUOTE]
