[QUOTE="eris404, post: 1836731, member: 5338"] Don't know about gamers in general, but if I were going to use a published setting, I think I would rather have too much material rather than too little. The whole point (to me at least) of using an established setting is because...well...it's already established and the DM has less work to do. With "too much" support, I can pick which suppliments I want to use and if I have the time and inclination, I can add my own stuff into it. With too little support, I'm making up my own stuff anyway, so I might as well make my own setting. :\ There are times I'd rather pay someone else to do that work and just get to playing faster and more often. So my answer to "how much?" is: the absolute minimum of support that will allow me to start a campaign with very little preparation (and with a few setting-specific adventures, perhaps allow me to run several weeks worth of adventures with little or no preparation); allow the players to make setting-appropriate characters with the level of detail they want; and still allow the publisher to stay in business. ;) [/QUOTE]
