[QUOTE="johnsemlak, post: 1079775, member: 7233"] Limiting ourselves to d20 settings or settings you currently use of course... What settings do you own one or more books for, and how many do you actually use. How many settings do you buy all or most of the support for? Do you consider a setting book worth buying just as a read? I own Greyhawk (the LGG), Scarred lands (the main Gelsphad book plus R&R I &II), and Kalamar (KoKCS + Player's Guide). Not a huge collection, but I've only been collecting d20 stuff for a year or so. I currenty play in the FRCS as a player and my DM has all the books, while I DM an online Greyhawk campaing and play in an online homebrewed campaign. Thus, as such, besides the LGG, it don't make much direct use of the Scarred lands stuff or KoK stuff. I would like to run a campaign in either one, but getting a group to agree could be difficult (particularly here in Russia, where non-WotC settings are very poorly known). I do use some material form the Scarred lands supplements, but very little. That said, they all make very good reading. And yet, I'm drooling over the thought of purchasing some more settings. I'm tempted to get the DLCS books and perhaps some ofhters in the line, like the Bestiary, and the Wilderlands setting from NG/JG. And then there's Diamond Throne, Eberron next year, and I'd like to get at least one FR book since I'm playing in it (maybe the Player's Guide next year). So I'm considering buying all that when, realistically, I will probably only use abotut 1-2 settings at any one time. Now, of course, any setting book may very well be worth buying just to read. When I was a kid I loved reading the World of Greyhawk setting books, and as I said I find the Scarred lands stuff good reading. But it seems difficult to justify an RPG purchase if you have no plans on using it. Also, if I buy one setting book, I'll feel a pull to buy futher supplements to make the most out of the setting. If you doing that with multiple settings, that get's really costly. OK, that's my vent. Anyone else going through these issues? [/QUOTE]
