[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 4167200, member: 3608"] When I rediscovered B/X D&D, I started looking for the out-of-print stuff on my Half-Price Books trips & started hitting eBay. In probably less than six months, I had just about all the stuff I really wanted. (And in total probably spent less than some single, new hardback RPG books.) Plus, when you really like a system—especially one as simple mechanically as D&D1981—it’s really easy to wing stats. So, you can pick up stuff written for just about any system & just ignore the stats. (Even if I didn’t find it easy, between the OOP stuff, the HackMaster stuff, the C&C stuff, Rob Kuntz’s stuff, the OSRIC stuff, the Labyrinth Lord stuff... There’s plenty of stuff that works OK with virtually no conversion.) Yeah, I probably have enough RPG material on my shelves already to last me a lifetime. Yet, somehow, I think I’ll continue making the occasional purchase. Still, it’s not like I [i]need[/i] any kind of official support. For many people, though, making up your own additional stuff—whether rules, worlds, or adventures—is what the game is all about. So there’s zero need for continuing support. [/QUOTE]
