To the point that adventures have always been just that - resources, not the primary means of playing the game.I've purchased dozens of adventures over the last 30+ years, and except for the first five years where I relied on published adventures, I don't think I've 'played' any of the adventures I've purchased. They were either great reading material, or a source of good way to present a particular encounter.I play PF, I have the Core, the Bestiary and will soon pick up the Advanced Players Guide. However, at least for now, I don't plan on ever buying an AP, I've been doing this too long - I always make my own adventures.So Paizo products are cheaper for me, less hard bounds to buy, and of the secondary products - I don't buy them at all. The secondaries from Paizo are more than APs though... gamemastery decks, map packs, etc.And though I played 3e for 6 or 7 years, I only own four 3e books - PH, DMG, PH2, Lords of Madness, that's it. I've never been one to buy a 100 splats, and probably never will of anybody's game system. The Paizo idea of putting out the three or four splats a year, is much closer to my buying habits anyway.GP</blockquote>
