Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 3414131" data-attributes="member: 13966">At present --- zippo, nada, zilch.For a few years after 3.5?  About $30-$80 a year in card games and a few 3.0 and 3.25 D&D books that I hadn't picked up sooner but thought may be useful (just the Epic-Level Handbook, Savage Species, Fiend Folio, and Stronghold Builder's Guidebook, picked up gradually after 3.5 was released; consequently, only the latter two have been even remotely worth the wasting of my time any money).Before 3.5?  Probably around $60-$120 a year, since 3.0 was released.  Before that, probably around $30-$80 a year in Magic: The Gathering cards.  Excluding the one and only year I actually bought a few boxes of M:TG booster packs, for the Invasion/Planeshift/Apocalypse cycle (coolness!).  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> Well, I guess technically, I gave WotC around $50-$100 last year or whatever for some Ravnica, Cold Snap, and Time Spiral packs.  And Three Dragon Ante of course.  But mostly just cuz I was really bored last year and felt like playing in a few local MTG tourneys, seeing as how Ravnica brought multicolored/"gold" cards back to the fore (though I still hate the new color schemes that started with Mirrodin, and still loathe both Mirrodin and Kamigawa cycles as card sets; the novels, not so much, but the cards, blech).  The other two sets I picked up a bit of just out of nostalgia for Revised Edition, Ice Age, Alliances, Tempest, and Stronghold (what with new and reprinted Slivers, Phyrexian monstrosities, Snow-Covered Lands and cards that actually rely on them, and such).But before that little splurging on MTG out of intense boredom, I hadn't given WotC any of my money for a few years.  I don't expect I'll be giving them any of my money this year, either.  Don't intend to waste any more money on MTG again for a while, and still don't buy into the whole 3.5 "give us lots more money for the same things you bought a few years ago, only marginally revised and messed up!" scam.  Not even worth the bother for the few bits of actually-nice stuff put into the books between all the regurgitated filler and the occasional newer, just-as-rushed-and-poorly-thought-out material.Quick Edit: On the other hand, I still give Paizo my money on some months, cuz Dragon and Dungeon are still good magazines usually, despite their 3.5 content needing some tweaking for use in my 3.0 games.  Though I hate the overly-high bookstand prices, since I don't get subscriptions to anything.</blockquote>
