It comes down to if you want to keep getting new materials WotC will release and that most 3rd party sources will release going forward. If you do, then yes.

Super curious as to the methodology for the media blitz on this one as it was clearly effective. It's existing genres that right now have good cache in many gaming spaces but isnt directly an existing IP.

Is that... Cthulhu in Ravenloft?

It is that it is. 5.5 is better than calling it 5th Ed (2024). They should have stuck with D&D One.

More importantly from a business side, it is claiming the products you are currently trying to sell people are so mediocre that they could be exceeded by randomly generated materials. He name dropped actual games his company wants the public to buy. Beyond stupid.

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
