D&D 5E (2024) So, what does the Artificer "replace"?

m not saying we need the breakneck publication pace that 3e/4e used. But there's got to be a better way than ONE meaningful mechanics book per year.

Please no. 5e already puts put more than i want to keep up with. The fact that so much of it is adventures makes it manageable, since i dont bother with physical copies of most of them, but more "meaningful mechanics book per year"? God no.

Whereas I get rather sick of seeing two whole years going by without a single book I have even the slightest interest in.

I mean, would that really be improved by having less time but more books go by between books you want?

imo the clear answer for the health of the game is a hard no.

Especially when, unless i am mistaken, you dont even really like 5e. So of course most of its books aint to your taste.

i have a lot of stuff i want from 5e that i am not getting, so i get that part, but 5e is very option heavy as is. I would rather they be careful about adding more than get my updated swashbuckler with special cunning strike options and gods above a taunt at level 3 sooner.
