[QUOTE="Shadowslayer, post: 3345674, member: 8400"] I'd say yes, I believe that. But not so much because older gamers are "set in their ways" I thinks it's more like changed priorities in spending. Not to mention a realization that the D&D experience is pretty much the same whether you use just the core 3 or add a gazillion splatbooks to the mix. This makes rules expansions feel less important to the whole thing and makes it a little less likely that you'll feel a need for them. As far as being "set in their ways", I don't buy it. I'm 37 and still open to changes to the D&D experience. I'm actually all for minis and battlemats and all kinds of visuals, where I never had been before, (and I've been gaming without them for almost 20 years.) Most of the money I spend anymore is on minis (D&D and Reaper), paints, Fantastic Locations maps, dungeon tiles and modules. SO I'm happy to hand my money over to WOTC, but I'm not at an age anymore where I'm going to buy every book that comes out just because its new. Heck, I've still got a crate of 2e complete books to remind me why I don't do that anymore. (And I [I]liked[/I] the 2e books) [/QUOTE]
