Races of Destiny: Buying/Bought?

[shilsen]

No. I should add the caveat that I buy very few RPG books and only those which I'm absolutely sure will see use in my game.

The Races books are not a line that I'm interested in, so I haven't touched RoD. Theres better books to spend your money on.

I am very disapointed with it. (ordered it, then saw someone else's copy). I was hoping that the 'half-breeds' (particularly PLANAR types) would be getting more than they did. The Illumians ARE NOT getting used in my setting and I was aghast that such a waste of space occured. I mean.. you mean to tell me you couldn't come up with more on Gensai's or other planar half breeds.


I cringe in fear on how the Halfings are going to get hosed with the Heinz listing of elven races in the next one too.

I've cut down on buying Wizards books unless they REALLY catch my eye. It seems that these days it takes at least four books to cover a topic that one did in 1st Ed.

I doubt that I'll be purchasing it. My impression from this thread reinforces that thought as well. I'm keen on the Races books (nor the environment ones), just don't think I need that much information to wade through for a game. I did, however, pick up Races of Stone but I've had a soft spot in my heart for dwarves since I started playing D&D 20 years ago.

 

[BlueBlackRed]

Definitely not.

The junk WoTC is putting out is too reminiscent of T$R splat books.

Time for them to stop releasing the junk and make some good modules.
Heck, I'd settle for some so-so modules.

I can see myself buying the environment series, as it could be useful. But the race series?

"Here are lots of stuff about a dwarf/elf/gnome/halfling/human culture that isn't found anywhere in your homebrew! Enjoy!"

Could still be idea-mined, but... :\

 

[RichGreen]

No, I didn't and I didn't buy Races of Stone either. I don't need it, the subject matter isn't that interesting to me, and I already buy more D&D books than I can keep up with!

Cheers

Almost certainly not going to buy it. Zero interest. As for DRM products available from drivethrurpg, I'm still toying with Frostburn, but I'd like to see the price drop at least a bit.

I haven't bought it, and I have no intention of buying it. Like a few have said before, I only buy what I feel will be useful to my game and the races book just doesn't fill the bill.
