D&D (2024) Are you going to buy the new 2024 D&D Core Books

[ichabod]

I voted no, but I might buy them used. But I'm still pissed at WotC about the OGL, I don't trust them as a business, and I don't trust them to put out quality content.

I will either continue with my heavily house ruled 5E, or use the alternative I am working on, if I can get it to work.

I;d have gone with no, but im curious about anniversary packaging for collection. Still a maybe.

Last we heard, there isn't going to be any anniversary packaging in 2024.

The only PHB stuff I'm interested in is easily house ruled into current 5E games, so that's a pass. Unless it's on deep discount on Amazon or a gift.

The MM is basically useless to me. I homebrew my own monsters and have stacks of monster books to draw inspiration from, so that's a pass. Unless it's on deep discount on Amazon or a gift.

The DMG is the one I'll actually keep an eye on as the revisions and reorganization there might make it worth checking out, depending on reviews.

Generally where I'm at. I also make very little use of the MM.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I've already bought the 2014 PHB twice, so I would need a new one eventually anyway. The changes to the PHB are overwhelmingly positive thus far, I'm always down for new monsters, and I am excited to see what they do with the DMG, as it is currently more or less a blank slate.

I'll just be getting them on DDB, though, so they'll be like 25 bucks each probably.

Unless you are paying in advance, you don't have to trust someone to put out quality content, though. They either do or they don't.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

I will get the german books for sure. But I will probably get the english vrsion of the phb in d&d beyond.

 

[Parmandur]

PHB is a certainty. DMG depends on how good it is, but from the stated goals, I'm at least interested. MM is a doubtful, unless they do a major overhaul.

From the sound of it, the MM ia going to be a hugely different book: 300 Monsters in the 2024 MM, over 500 in the 2024 one, massive overhauls to the stat blocks likely.

 

[Nikosandros]

So, this depends on what exactly...

Who am I kidding? Unless financial disaster strikes me or a video comes out of Crawford kicking a kitty, I'm going to buy them.

Probably but I am less excited than I was when the play test started. Really sad to see some of the things jettisoned in the play test like Warlock changes, regrouping the spells and consistent leveling up among classes.
