[QUOTE="FungiMuncher, post: 276606, member: 1094"] Personally: I buy quite a bit of d20 stuff. As a response in an earlier thread, I think I counted about 45 books. I also bought four books this week. Most of it is third party stuff. I prefer general materials that I can use in my home brew campaign. I have two gaming groups. In the game where I am the DM, there are four players in the middle school age group. Three of them have the PHB, and that's all. Of the four adults, they each have the PHB. One of the players is also a DM, and his collection could easily rival mine. He prefers running the Scarred Lands, and has a lot of stuff related to that. In the group where I'm a player, one player has the PHB, and I think that is all. One player/DM has a few additional books (and is the only person supporting a family). One player has much of the WotC stuff. Two players have collections similar or larger to mine. And, oh, one player is a second edition hold out, and refuses to buy anything third edition. :eek: Popular titles amoung this group are Rokugan, Ravenloft and Forgotten Realms. So, the people I know may be unusual. One of the gaming stores here in Columbus is very good with respect to 3e/d20 materials. That may be a factor. Also, I was rather surprised by the selection I saw in a chain bookstore recently (I think it was Walden Books). Usually, Media Play carries only WotC and SSS items, but this store carried some Atlas, AEG and a couple others. Columbus is supposed to be a "test market" town, so maybe thats the reason. Another comment: Over a month or so ago, one of my friends wanted to start a non-HERO super heroes game. Had he been able to find a d20 version on a store shelf somewhere, I'm sure he would have gotten that (and probably several more of us would have, as well). I told him about some of the up coming items, but he has since bought a non-d20 game. FM [/QUOTE]
