I have my opinions, you have yours. Feel free to quote me again and tell me I'm wrong though.

I said I thought you had bad luck, not that you are wrong about the ones you've read/played. Obviously you have not read every single one of the 145 3rd party publications for 5e so far, and neither have I. So my saying I thought you had bad luck in the ones you did read is not me saying you're wrong about what you've read. Unless you're arguing you have in fact read every single one...in which case, I am curious why you've mentioned (from what I can tell), none of the 145 products here in prior posts.

Because it being in the second post wasn't good enough? :)

By the way, did you know I've been keeping a list of every 5E adventure that's been released? ;)

Incidentally, you managed to link to two different pages (which have identical lists). Thanks to the way I set up my site, the original post (a blog post) couldn't be linked to from the menu bar, so I set up a page to hold it... but people still visit the original blog post so I keep it updated as well.

Due to my mad computer skills, it only requires a couple of button presses after I update the database to post them. :)

Meanwhile, here's a third version of the list; not as many details, but sorted by level:

Cheers!

Thank God for the ignore button. Bye, bye.
 

That's true, there are the miniatures... miniatures and APs. Besides that, there's not really much to choose from.

What else is there to an RPG?

If you don't like minis, there are 6 books currently on shelves (Hoard, Tyranny, Elemental Evil and the Core books) and several supplements available online and a new campaign is scheduled for fall. The game has been out for a year that's a book every other month. Sure, the campaigns may not be your cup of tea, but in that case you've got the core books to make your own. For the most part, porting previous Campaigns is simple, remove old crunch, insert new crunch.

I am admittedly confused as to what some people want for this edition. It's like they expect the game to just dump out books like it's trying to be 3.5 all over again.

It's NEW, of course there's not much to choose from.
 


I haven't really been paying much attention to the non-adventure content released by 3PP for 5E. The major releases were Necromancer Games "Fifth Edition Foes" and "The Book of Lost Spells", but since I was involved in creating both, I can't really give you an unbiased review of either.

(My biased review: They're both great! Go get them now!)

Apart from that, there's not a lot of significant rules content. EN5ider has a couple of nice articles from time to time, and there are other releases, but we're all really looking forward to seeing what the Sword Coast Adventurers' Guide gives us.

(One of the chief problems I had when doing the Book of Lost Spells was that so much of it was going into areas where the basic rules didn't go. Writing enhancement spells is really hard when you don't have other spells to compare them to. There's a few spells in there which are probably overpowered and a few which are underpowered, but I'm pretty happy with the result. And, hey - it's got more spells in it that in the Player's Handbook!)

Cheers!
