Has D&D ever gone this long not being #1 in this report? They haven't been #1 for, what, 2 years now? (And it will likely continue for the next 2 quarterly reports as this one is for Fall 2013.) Of course, I expect they will vault to #1 in whatever quarter 5E releases, but it will be...

Nope. Don't need a new edition. But then, I'm GMing Slumbering Tsar, which is cooler than any adventure I've ever GMed. We'll be playing it for quite a while longer...

Do you know how many?

They always need errata corrected. Save your money and buy the book in 2015 (hopefully) for an errata corrected version. (Although, IIRC, that would not have worked for 4E, as I don't think they ever had a true 2nd printing other than the $50(?) $75(?) "special edition".)

Actually this poll seems to be much more favorable for 5E than it was for 4E at the same time. IIRC, Only 33% or so of people were buying 4E unseen while over 50% are seemingly going to buy into 5E. Bodes well for WotC.

No, I'm done with the edition treadmill. What I might buy, though, are 5e adventures or campaign fluff books if they are done well and if the rules are all posted online for free. (That way I can translate any rules to my game of choice.)

*And* the Pathfinder core book is only $10 as a PDF. Will Wizards do the same with D&D for those that don't want to spend $50? Time will tell. (Though they should release all of the rules for free.)

Yeah, RPG rule #1: Wait until the 2nd printing (with errata corrected) to buy the core book. :) (And at $50, even more so!)

Actually, "the World's Oldest Roleplaying Game" works better. ;)

Wow! Shocking news! ...That someone is actually reading the B&N website! :D As for a $50 Player's Handbook, the question is, will Wizards publish the game like 4E with large print and tons of whitespace (i.e. poor value) or will they return to the 3.x model of packing the book full of...

I DMed it back in the 2E days and had a blast!

The D&D brand is worth millions. If it was worth very little, I'd have bought it. :)

Yeah, 3-D printing could really be the future of this market - specially when we can 3-d print in color.

Colossal Tiamat ain't selling for only $29.99. Likely similar to the Aspect of Tiamat at that price. Bleh.

Unless there's a colossal Tiamat, this whole thing will be a waste of time. :)

WotC clearly has some business sense or they would not have been able to sustain Magic: The Gathering for all of these years. I just don't think the D&D RPG is "right-sized" for them in this day and age.

Rappan Athuk. (The new version) Conveniently, it's available both for Pathfinder and Swords & Wizardry, so you can pick which one you want to convert to Next.

I may be able to help. Check your private messages.

Yeah, I have the Aspect of Tiamat, but it looks wimpy next to my gargantuan dragons (to say nothing of the Colossal Red staring down at it).

No. But then, I wouldn't play any RPG I didn't like - even to celebrate an anniversary of the game. Instead, I'd suggest we play Talisman. :)
