[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4691852, member: 60965"] I've been gaming for 16 years or so and I'd say I've spent maybe $300-400 TOTAL on gaming books, dice, etc in that time. 3E core books. 4 Ghelspad books. Shadowrun core book. 3.5 core books. GURPS core book. 1st Edition Exalted Book. 2nd Edition Exalted book. 3 sets of dice. As a group (roughly 12-15 of us over those years), I'd say we've spent a total of maybe $1000 to 1500 on roleplaying stuff, $2000 tops. I'd guess, aside from when new editions of DnD come out and we buy all 3 core books, our group as a whole buys about 1 book every 3 month to a year. I imagine we're on the low end of gaming groups since we don't buy minis, premade adventures, dungeon tiles, or anything like that - mostly just core books for various RPGs. The RPG industry hasn't made much from us. ~$1500 / ~15 years = ~$100 per year from our [I]group[/I], less than $10 a year per person... Hard to imagine some people spending $100 up to $250 per month on it. [/QUOTE]
