If the supplements spawn a campaign idea, I'll probably buy the current Basic Set.
Anyway, this is the stuff that interests me, and this thread is me asking for further recommendations around them:

Speaking as someone who initially resisted the 3e/4e jump, I have not regretted it for a second.

Your taste is your own and the Fun Police ain't gonna come to your house. That said, using the materials that make sense will save you a lot of work because someone else has already done it for you. Madness Dossier feels a lot like Grant Morrison's
The Invisibles to me, and there is no way I would run a campaign based on
The Invisibles without Action!, all the Psionics stuff, and Martial Arts on my desk.
