[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9275503, member: 2525"] OK I figure if I am going to necromance this thread back to lurching life, I might as well offer up some petty reasons: 1. I won't buy the 2024 books because the halfling artwork is bound to be better than the 2014 books and I don't want people playing more halflings because they see better artwork for them; 2. I won't buy the 2024 books because the MM is bound to have more options for some monsters and that takes away my ability as a DM to look more creative by my inventing those additional options for the monsters; 3. I won't buy the 2024 books because they probably still won't have morale rules for monsters; 4. I won't buy the 2024 books because then I'd need to re-optimize all my overpowered builds; 5. I won't buy the 2024 books because I prefer the smell of my old books to new ones; 6. I won't buy the 2024 books because I'd need to make room on my D&D bookshelf for more books and there is a vague possibility I will some day need that Book of Erotic Fantasy so I obviously can't move that off my shelf to make room; 7. I won't buy the 2024 books because the new game is sure to still not have a Warlord class in it; 8. I won't buy the 2024 books because there still won't be enough gnome love in this edition; 9. I won't buy the 2024 books because the game still won't have a critical fumble chart; 10. I won't buy the 2024 books because too many fanboys, fangirls, and fanpeople in general want me to buy them; 11. I won't buy the 2024 books because Greyhawk still won't be the default setting and that's just an offense against St. Culthbert; 12. I won't buy the 2024 books because saves versus ability scores is stupid compared to a save vs Rods, Staves and Wands; 13. I won't buy the 2024 books because they still don't have Prestige Classes in these books; 14. I won't buy the 2024 books because they're not coming with a set of dice and crayon for me to color in the numbers; 15. I won't buy the 2024 books because how many times am I going to be forced at gunpoint at my home to buy the same books over and over again!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
