I don’t think that you are the only one. I’ve made a bunch of RPG related purchases last year, but I can’t think of a single one that is a WotC product.
I haven’t paid a cent to the company in almost 5 years now. My 3.5 books were gifts from people trying to persuade me to run games in the system.
I can’t say the same, since I like their dungeon tiles.
I’m with you. The last WotC purchase was the 3.5 WotC boxed set, which has pretty much collected dust.
I haven’t purchased any of their materials since the third Eberron book was released.
After they began to really start treating D&D like they do MtG, I had to give it up. There’s no way I’m going to constantly fork over that much money for so little content that I actually plan on using. The majority of the books they put out now are lucky to have 15-20% of their content appeal to me in any way.
With new books hitting the shelves every month, I have no chance to keep up – even if I did have a desire to do so.
Less QQ, more pew pew.
If you take it back three to four years, then I get closer to zero, but even that’s just because I bought the 4.0 gift set and KotS. The wife buys dungeon tiles, and we did get a case of Against the Giants minis, but that about sums up our purchases in the era of 3.5/4.0.
I’ve spent about $20 on minis. Didn’t pay for Keep on the Shadowfell–ran it for the FLGS. That’s it. I have, however, downloaded as many old modules and legacy products on from their site while I still can.
I have spent a total of over $250 on WoTC products over the past year, after not buying a single TSR or D&D-related item since 1987.
Lol, shortest post I ever made gets the most comments… weird.
The last WotC product I bought was the 2nd 4e preview book last January. After seeing the reports from last year’s D&D XP con and then playing it for myself several times, I felt no desire to play 4e or to even buy the books which is odd as I’ve owned every other version (besides the white box set) of D&D. I own far more minis than I’ll ever use and nothing else they make interests me in the least. I haven’t played Magic in years due to the constant flow of new editions and the Avalon Hill games are dumbed down to an embarrassing level.
My gaming money over the last year has gone to Mongoose (Traveller), FFG (Doom), Chaosium (BRP), and to Goodman Games (3rd edition modules). My latest purchase (Conflict of Heroes) should be on my doorstep tonight when I get home.
I play Arcana Evolved now, and I get most of my current stuff from Paizo, Wolfgang Baur’s Open Design, Fiery Dragon, and a few others, the Last Product I bought from WotC was probably a box of minitures, the last RPG product was probably Stromwrack.
Oh man, I’ve spent waaay too much money on DnD this last year. I’ve recently gotten back into it so I’ve bought almost every 4e book so far put out.
I also have spent no money on WoTC products since about 2001. I very much enjoy 3.5ED and that system is still perfectly good, which explains the several hundred dollars spent on Paizo products (Pathfinder subscriptions & such).
Though if we were to think of WoTC the company as a person, and this person was our friend.
Would you consider 4E to be a ‘Cry for help’ followed by a gunshot wound to their foot?
