[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 4587193, member: 25619"] Well, I've been buying pretty much everything that's even remotely interesting for 3.5, on the theory it won't be around much longer. Of the 3 local game stores (yes, 3, I am blessed to live in the Seattle metro area, a half hour drive from Paizo or WOTC): 1) Has lots of 1/2/3/3.5 edition stuff. The owner (a true grognard war gamer type) is trying to talk me into 4e, and says the older stuff is "compatiblish", if you just wing it and cram in monsters running under the old rules into the new game. Not sure how that works. <shrug> Charging face value for everything -- which is a bargain, perhaps, on some of the older stuff. 2) Has some 3/3.5 edition stuff, now at 75% off. Not a lot is left -- probably 80% gone. But if anyone wants Midnight, for example, they had everything for it last week. Owner says that 3.5 will go away after a certain point, and Pathfinder's licensing is not really 3.5 compatible. These folks helped do the WOTC game day in Seattle, so pretty pro-WOTC. 3) New store. Just was 4e and Pathfinder stuff, full price on both, and not a lot of copies. No comment from the owner when I brought some Pathfinder stuff. [/QUOTE]
