[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 5335253, member: 2205"] If the setting looks interesting to me at all, I'll buy the core setting book. Then, it's a matter of which other setting products look interesting and/or useful to me. For most settings, that means very little, but occasionally, it means almost the entire line. I've gotten pretty deeply into the Paizo Golarion setting lately, for example, but that's largely because I see a lot of their material as useful and/or interesting even if I'm not using their setting. I also bought most of the Freeport and Iron Kingdoms setting material, but then again, there wasn't really tons of setting material in those lines; they were always somewhat limited in scope. With Eberron, I bought the main setting book, the Sharn book, the Sarlona book, and a few others, but didn't really splurge; that was an example of a setting that I liked well enough, but the line was too deep for my taste, and I didn't have the will to keep up with all the details. This is all also predicated on the fact that I don't use settings, exactly. I like to raid settings for good ideas, but I'm addicted to homebrewing. [/QUOTE]
