[QUOTE="Vascant, post: 2765925, member: 13927"] For me anyways: It isn't the Book that causes me to purchase a Campaign Setting, it is what the publisher does afterwards. 90% of the settings released are what I refer to as Fire and Forget. They publish a setting and never support them. Granted I have ran Greyhawk since the dawn of time but I do purchase every FR product because if I ever do change, why not switch to perhaps the most supported setting ever created. Example: The Waterdeep book just recently released by WotC. Web Support: Before and After the products release. Additional Spin offs: Novel Another example of a well done setting: Shackled City, yes I know this is an AP but if you back up one step it is also a setting for an entire campaign. Good web support played a key here, which started half way thru it. Monte Cook is now using the web for his upcoming Setting book, again Web Support is outstanding. For me, this tells me a lot about a publisher and if the publisher is actually trying to give me value for my dollar. They also seem to understand gaming then perhaps most others because they are trying to give me what I need for their products rather then just getting my cash and then vanishing to another product line. This is perhaps the main reason I will never purchase things from like MGP, there is no support for their products. [/QUOTE]
