How much money have you spent on 3.x?

[Sunderstone]

well over 1000. yesterday alone another $132 on Pathfinder #5, and the rest in Goodman DCCs before they are gone.
The investment doesnt affect my decision to not buy 4E much at all. The Flavor of 4E is what stops me from going 4E.

On a side note, Paizo has me reading more and more into Golarion. I might buy their first few 4E books and see how much the setting gets tainted by it. This is about as close as I want to get to 4E.

Including Minis... easily over a grand. Easily.

I probably spent this or more back with 2e too. Modules, Almost the entire Complete Series, etc, etc

I've got easily over $1000 in 3e materials. Does it affect me moving to 4e? That's part of it, I've got a fully functioning, quite fun game already that I've spent years learning and becoming accustomed to. Why should I give up 3.5 for 4e just because 4e is coming out? I've got a game I already enjoy and have fun with and know well and know I can use for my fantasy gaming interests. I didn't feel a need for a new version of D&D before 4e was announced, so WotC would have to sell me on a product that is competing with something I'm already happy with.

The marketing materials for 4e have definitely not helped though. Telling me that 3.5 was not fun/broken/bad went a long way to losing me. Throwing out the established implied setting of D&D that I came to know and love (The Great Wheel, The Blood War ect.) did a lot too. Trashing the Forgotten Realms and getting rid of Dragon and the "new core books every year and they're all "core"" business model were the icing on the cake.

It would have been a tall order to convince me to move to 4e, not impossible, but difficult. However, what has been revealed of 4e in substance and style definitely didn't do that.

Ballpark figure.

Do you think the amount is at all related to your acceptance of 4.0?

I'd say well over $1000, that's not including the various PDF's that I've purchased over the years as well.

The amount is pretty much the main reason that I'm not moving over to 4E. I'm not sure what you mean about acceptance but I do know that 4E is different enough from 3E that I wont be able to use my 3E stuff without major conversion.

So I'm sticking with what I'm heavily invested in.

I spent way too much...

I clicked the 500-750 dollar poll button hastily, then I realized it was much much more.

Just the 3 core books were about 120 bucks, and I bought them twice.

Then there's the forgotten realms stuff, the modules, splatbooks, complete series, miscelaneous mixed d20 stuff....dungeon tiles. Yeah. So probably more in the 2k range for me. If you count food purchased for 2 at about $25 a night gaming twice a week for the last 6 years, yeah thats ugly.


Also have a bunch of minis...although nothing compared to my buddy that buys 4 CASES of every mini set they put out.
