[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 3712028, member: 46713"] Depends on the system :P With [b]Ars Magica[/b], I've been excited about each new edition and have eventually bought every single supplement. With [b]WoD[/b], I've bought lots of supplements for the first edition. Too many to be willing to invest a similar amount in a new edition. With [b]Earthdawn[/b], I've bought the new edition and would have converted, but the other players didn't seem to be interested, so we sticked with 1st.ed. With [b]DSA[/b], I've tested every new edition. All of them have been very different from each other, but they still haven't reached a point of perfection that would me make buy more than the basic set for each. With [b]D&D[/b] I've skipped about every other edition so far: I wasn't interested in OD&D, but I was instantly a fan of AD&D 1st.ed. Second edition wasn't sufficiently different from first, so I just copied some parts from the new rules I liked and kept going. I bought the PHB and DMG for 3.0 but never used them in play because 3.5 became available when I started my campaign. I've been using the SRD + MM1 3.5 for my game so far (+ several 3.5 supplements like the Complete series). I'll probably buy the 4th.ed. PHB out of curiosity, but if I am actually going to use it, I cannot tell yet. First, I'll finish my current campaign. [/QUOTE]
