If it's for a game I'm playing or intending to play soon, I'm obviously more interested; OTOH, if it's for a game that would be hard to convert, and I'm never going to play, and it's on a subject that barely interests me, I might not try real hard to find out more. But otherwise, I'm happy to swipe stuff. E.g., in the late '90s, I bought a couple of AD&D 2e settings, when I found 'em cheap, not for use in AD&D (which I hadn't played any flavor of in a decade or so), but for inspiration and use in another game (I was running a couple of campaigns that featured world-jumping, so I could always dump existing PCs into a setting and use it for a while). (Oh, and I guess for a few improbable values of Some Other Game, I would pass, sight unseen -- e.g., I wouldn't bother looking at a RaHoWa or FATAL supplement, should such actually exist.)Again, depends on topic -- if it's a Tomb of Horrors-esque dungeon, I'd probably pass, as that's not really what I'm looking for. But for the new 4e* game we'll be starting in a month or two, I'm going to be using a lot of Freeport stuff, along with ideas and bits nicked from Eberron, 4e D&D, Earthdawn, and maybe other things. (I was just wishing the old TSR PDFs were still available, as I was wondering what I could plunder from Gamma World, since the new campaign will have post-apocalyptic bits.)*GURPS 4e, that is <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
