Well one person's trash is another person's treasure. Case in point, I looooooved the 2e Player's Option series books (despite how unbelievably broken and uneven they were). Seriously...the monstrosity you could create using the Spells & Magic Priest options....phew! Crazy! Compare that to...

Oh I have absolutely no doubt I've missed a few gold nuggets along the way. :) I'm just far more selective about what I spend money on these days. I quite enjoy 5e and appreciate the slower approach to releasing splat material, so I don't feel particularly hard done by or anything. I do...

Well I know my players (and myself) pretty well, since we've been playing together a loooong time. Guilds/factions just don't do it for us. Oh don't get me wrong, running afoul (or with) a Thieves' Guild or being part of a family/clan when we're adventuring in Kara-Tur, etc. has its...

This is why I buy the splats and monster books. Other than the canvas, I do enjoy seeing what mechanical ideas they come up with (minus the MtG stuff...it's a bit of an irrational hatred seeing them crossed, I'll admit, but it's something I hoped and prayed would never happen from the day WotC...

Oh I don't care if it replaces it or not. I mean I already ignore the Ranger in the PHB as it is lol. Honestly, I've already found a far superior concept of what I think the Ranger is than the PHB Ranger anyway....the Rogue with the Scout subclass. Not perfect, but I've always seen the Ranger...

'Tis good advice, certainly. All of which I long ago took (been playing/DMing since 1e). Those books offer me nothing of substantive value I haven't already been practising for a good 25+ years (certainly the concepts if not the presented specifics). Don't misunderstand me though, I'm not...

Core rules, the "Monster Manuals" and the "splatbooks". I don't touch the adventure stuff (no need of them, I create my own) and will never go near the D&D/MtG crossover stuff (despise the crossing of those streams, but do understand people love it, so power to them and its great they get that...

Dunno, but I'd still like to see the Ranger class get a proper re-invent (yes, yes, I know they've long ago thrown up their hands and given up on it for fear of upsetting the precious PHB).

There was actually the From the Ashes boxed set for 2e (From the Ashes (2e) - Wizards of the Coast | AD&D 2nd Ed. | Greyhawk | AD&D 2nd Ed. | Dungeon Masters Guild). Granted not a single book if you meant that literally, but certainly a campaign setting post-1e. ;)

I bought the core rules and the Realms Campaign guide when they released, since I had (somehow) managed to avoid most of the talk and specifics about 4e prior to release...and dear lord was I not impressed with it. Still, I had to give a go at least once, and I did. For my tastes, absolutely...

Easily #1 for those in my group. Since about 93/94 the group I game with regularly loathed the idea of ever marrying the two IPs. Oh sure, seemed like a natural fit, but we liked them better as their own, distinct things. Still, it was inevitable the two would bleed into one another...

I played and enjoyed it greatly and switched over to PF once 4e released. I enjoyed PF until just before Ultimate Intrigue released...it was then I rapidly lost interest once I realized the 3.x system had devolved into a feat tax/number porn game (PF really doubled down into it, which is why I...

I certainly fall into the camp that wants psionics to be "it's own thing", but I'm fine with WotC offering something that doesn't fit that desire if the vast majority of their responding audience approves of them. I just won't use them if I dislike them enough, just like I never touch the...

Simple answer for me, though for a wildly different reason: I hate the 5e Ranger class (and WotC's attempts to "fix" it over the years). I've never liked (or particularly used) Ranger spellcasting. I've always viewed Rangers as guerilla-style warriors and played them as such (from 2e onward)...

Thanks very much. :)

Whereabouts might I find this? (wouldn't mind having a looksee). Couldn't find anything on DM's Guild (so wondering if it might be on this site or somewhere else).

At this point it seems and feels clear to me Psionics just don't belong in 5e. If they cannot be made their own thing and just act as already existing things with different names, then I'm content to just go on with the pretense that when a manual rule or monster ability says it's psionic, then...

Definitely not a buy for me, though might be worth cherry picking a thing or two from (that piety system seems interesting).

So D&D Iron Man, a sentient mobile phone and a goth ranger. :cautious: New content is welcome and I'm sure plenty will really dig these...but not I. Ugh.

The only one that has my interest is BG3, solely due to the Baldur's Gate legacy. I'm cautiously optimistic about it (hopefully that will change to anticipation after Larian's PAX presentation of BG3 in action). Even then, I'm not sure. I'm sure technically the game will be well made and...
