[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 4909494, member: 11697"] It depends on what you like in a setting. I really, -really- enjoy heavily detailed settings, and I look at the setting support from 2e for the various TSR settings like FR, Planescape, Ravenloft, etc as the high mark for setting support and awesome ideas and innovation through D&D's entire history. The current WotC model misses the mark if you're looking for setting support. Now there's the DDI yes, but that's the only option for continued setting support from WotC. Assuming that you get a regular production of articles for a particular setting that you really like, you still don't have an article by article purchase option -it's all or nothing- so in effect you have to subsidize other settings you might have zero interest in, if you want whatever support the DDI might provide. I'd be interested to compare word count for FR and Eberron support through the DDI a year or two after release versus the count from their 3e book support and see how wide of a gap there is.
