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

[DEFCON 1]

Yes.

 

[Aldarc]

I voted for maybe, but the relevant factor for me is not so much reviews, but what else we see in the playtest. There’s still three packets to go on the PHB, and an unknown number to go on the other two core books. I think anyone making up their mind about it now is jumping the gun.

Maybe, but I certainly know that I'm currently leaning towards "no." I'm not seeing much so far that excites me, sparks joy, or convinces me to spend the money to abandon the current set of books that I have. Also, I'm not really all that eager to support WotC after the OGL Fiasco. There are other companies and designers that I would rather support with my limited funds.

 

[cranberry]

No, I won't be purchasing any WoTC products.

No books, no subscriptions, no microtransactions.

 

[ninjayeti]

Maybe. I already backed ToV and I am more confident of the direction Kobold is taking than what I have seem from WotC. But I am willing to give 5.5 a fair look when the dust settles.

 

[delericho]

Doubtful. Very doubtful.

It's very likely that by the time they are released I will no longer be playing D&D, with no intention to start another campaign in any foreseeable future. And I've run out of shelf space, so it's really hard to justify clearing some for new books I'm probably never going to use.

If they released them in PDF format, I'd buy them sight-unseen. But only PDF format - other electronic formats aren't of use to me.

 

[the Jester]

Buy, yes. Will I move to the new PH stuff? Right now I'd say I am leaning toward a partial yes, with some stuff retained from 2014.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I'll probably buy a hundred or so of each of them... but that's for my store. For myself? Sure, but that was always going to be the case, because I've got to play it to sell it. I just hope that I enjoy doing it!

I honestly don't think that it will wind up "worse" than 5e. I'm hoping for "better", but I suspect that it will be "better in this place and this and worse here and there and the same for most of it". A net "perfectly fine D&D with some places that could be a lot better, which is a shame, but still one of my favorite pastimes!"

 

[FitzTheRuke]

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

I expect they'll be in the 30's. EVERYTHING is getting more expensive these days.

 

[doctorbadwolf]

No, I won't be purchasing any WoTC products.

No books, no subscriptions, no microtransactions.

Absolutely. I also refuse to buy tacos from Wendy’s.

Also what subscriptions? DDB? Not even needed to use the service. At all.

Like deny a company your patronage when they don’t behave how you want, absolutely, but this comes across as more than a little…ill-informed on what wotc are even putting out.

I wonder if the thread should be for those currently playing 5E do you plan to buy the new core books.
