I'd buy more counters if WotC produced them, they're a cheap / easy (easier storage / transport) alternative to minis, although I still love having my minis! I'm not personally too keen on the WotC power cards, I feel I can do better / more useful custom ones. Something like special card-protectors / backing (I use spare Magic cards right now) might be cool, but would have to be cheap enough to be an impulse purchase. Stand-up cardboard counters for PCs would be an interesting concept, but I think I'd only be interested if there was a way to customize them for individual characters... Something like a program to quickly slap together a "paper doll" and stick the right gear / accessories on it would be cool possibility. I'd personally be more likely to buy stuff sold in smaller "bits", rather than a single large box.There is no option to buy WotC .pdfs at the moment. And I don't expect there to be a less expensive entry option for WHFRP (but maybe I should expect one?). I view this discussion as exclusive because that's how I view the products we're discussing...[sblock]I have spent way over $100 on just 4e books I've actually picked up so far, but personally I feel that I've gotten a lot better value out of the hardbound books than I would out of a flashy box. And don't get me wrong, I'd like to be able to grab WHFRP3 (and every D&D book that comes out), but it just isn't worth putting aside all other gaming purchases for 2+ months. That's just IMO /  my situation: I'd like to be getting even more value, say with some slickly-produced black & white softcovers. I don't need full-color hardbacks for everything, and something a bit lighter would be less of a pain in my neck (/ back).So, I know (or think, at least) that you want to talk about what's cool about WHFRP3... Unfortunately I haven't seen anything I think is particularly cool yet. Now the rules & setting may or may not be awesome, but I'd have to read a copy to make a real judgment (and certainly the WHFRP setting is awesome, but what will they do with it in this box?). The components don't seem anything special compared to the higher-end board games.[/sblock]</blockquote>
