[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 5136692, member: 20914"] 1. Nope but I do buy Pathfinder stuff. I do buy other 3E D20 stuff as well. Some of it current on the market now. But this was also true during the complete time I was playing 3/3.5E when it was the current edition. 2. One time it was Dawnforge, the other time it was Valus. When I find a product with value, I like to share it. Neither were an unseen product at the time as I already owned them from exposure from other gamers. Exposure in a LGS had no part in my picking them up. No I don't use the LGS/Bookstores as mini-libraries for checking out the latest product and than rush home to buy them. I'll use reviews I might find here or on other gaming forums I frequent, but generally I use a method that is quite frowned on in this neck of the woods. Giving it a quick preview test drive via a download. Yes pirating bad, smack Yeti's wrist. But guess what I'm one of the few ones that if I like it, I actually hunt down a physical copy of the book. Those methods have saved me quite a few bucks on not buying products I didn't like. I think what is failed to realize on all parties, it is not a Gamer's responsibility to keep a store open. And it is not WotC's responsibility either. It is the responsibility of the that store's owner. For me LGS use is a weekend only thing at best. I work 100 miles from home with a 2 hour commute each way. The nearest LGS to me is about 35 miles. The last thing I want to due is drive another 30-45 minutes after getting home to a store on the off chance they have something in stock. [/QUOTE]
