Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jan van Leyden" data-source="post: 3934416" data-attributes="member: 20307">So why did you invest $3K in D&D books? Because you actually used these books, because you thought you might use them sometime, or because you just wanted to have them?If you actually used them, it boils down to you spending $20 to $50 per month on your hobby. You have to decide whether it's worth it. If not, you should change your spending habits regardless of edition changes.If you just wanted to have them, you are just like me, buying much more stuff than one can actually use. I lived through different phases: first I thought 'cool, they will hopefully make high-level play easier to manage.' The second phase was 'Damn, I'll probably never use this whole shelf of books!' The third - and current - phase is 'I'm looking forward to 4e, hopefully I will be able to constrain may buying habits.'If you hoped to make use of all this stuff sometime, your hope does not have to die. You can keep playing 3.5, or gradually changing to 4e, or just buy the 4e core books and consider wether to make the step with this knowledge. If you are like me, and I think a lot of people out there fit this description, you are somewhere between the second and the third tier. In these cases, you should be actually grateful for WotC not maintaining 3.5e any longer, because the more books they publish for 3.5, the greater you and my pains would be.  :\ Even if one started playing with 3rd edition, the name of the game implied that there were older editions before that. And this simple fact guaranteed from day one that edition 3 or 3.5 would not be the last one.I wouldn't be too sure about that. What with new copy protection schemes requiring a new connection between new DVD player and new TV set, which sadly does not allow old DVDs to be shown?---HuldvollBaron von Bomberg</blockquote>
