[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 7871609, member: 85870"] My relationship with RPG $$$ spending is similar to that of video games. Every time I see that Steam or gog.com is running a sale, I get all excited for about 10 seconds, until I remember that I don't even have time to play the 200+ games I already own. I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on video games I've never finished, nor even played in many cases. -Never finished any of the Assassin's Creed games past 2 -Never finished Neverwinter Nights 2 -Barely even started Mass Effect 1, let alone finishing it (or 2 or 3) -Knights of the Old Republic is 18 years old now. Never finished it -All of the new Tomb Raider games -Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided -- never finished The question when I consider spending money on video games now is not whether I "want" the purchase, it's whether I want it enough to actually spend time playing it. Same with RPGs. I will not spend money unless it's for something I'm reasonably certain I will use/play in the next 18 months. My total RPG spending for the past 18 months: -I backed the Savage World's Adventurer's Edition kickstarter last summer. -Bought the Genesys core rulebook and 3 sets of dice -Picked up a copy of The One Ring Adventurer's Guide a week ago since it is going out of print and the aftermarket prices were going to skyrocket.
