4E

[Matt Larkin (author)]

If I were still playing D&D, I kind of liked the enviornments books, so I might get Cityscape.  There's little insentive to buy when I know I won't use it any time soon, though.

There was a time when I bought supplements because they looked like they might have cool stuff in them.  After a while, I downgraded to buying things I thought might be fun to read (having no social life has nothing to do with this).  But now I've come to the point where I won't even get suplements I think I'll like because I can't think of what I'll use them for.  I might still buy them if I thought they might be fun to read.  Part of this reluctance is both because I'm not DM material and because most games I find use few books (and none of the more interesting ones), so even if the game material is FANTASTIC there wouldn't be anything to do with it.  Heck, even if I was allowed to use that stuff the game might not last long enough or it advances too slow.  And it's almost pure combat.  WHY?!

At this point I'm mostly just downloading books and keeping them long enough to see if I have any use for them. If I do, I'll buy the actual sourcebook.

Very sensible approach.

One that I also take.

I personally would not cry if WotC released 4e anytime soon. For one, I haven't invested hundreds of $$$ into v3.5. And second, I bloody hope that WotC uses the opportunity 4e provided for getting rid of several sacred cows (like Disjunction, the current version of Magic Missile that just begs to be metamagically abused, CoDzilla, stuff like Planar Shephard, finally getting out a working Polymorph spell line, ...).
