[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5769206, member: 54877"] For me, sometimes they are worth it and sometimes they are not. Full cover full of some of their usual artists (WR and WoC) might as well have B&W cartoons scratched by someone on staff as far as I'm concerned. That is, they are wasting their production values on me in that regard. Though I do appreciate the work done to improve layout since WotC first got D&D. So it basically comes down to content as the decision point--I'm not going to use most of the content in PHB 3. Therefore, I didn't buy it. From their perspective of me as a customer, I can say that I'm only going to budget so much for games per year. Their competition is Burning Wheel (which doesn't release much in a year) and maybe a board game or two. The rest of the budget, such as it is, will go towards whatever other RPGs I intend to give a shot playing soon or am playing now, such as 4E. When that is D&D, I'll either buy a bunch of cheaper books or a lesser number of expensive books. So strictly from a content perspective and sales, they are probably better off making fewer, quality books for me. [/QUOTE]
