Legend
So how do fellow ENworlds think the brand vs RPG thing of 5E is working out? I almost bought the Sword COast Legend game until I started seieng reviews and the very low rating it got, never saw the D&D themed Kreeo over here (not that I would buy it anyway) and it seems they are going to move away from mega adventures.
I have bought all of the RG products (RoT, PotA, OotA), SCAG, starter set+core books (2 copies) and so far PotA and the starter set are the high points of 5E along with some of the Quests of Doom material. Not currently playing atm due to the whole late November/December thing making things rough. None of the mega adventures I find that compelling with RoT being out right bad for the most part. SCAG was a bit meh with not that much crunch and the fluff was kind of laughable compared to the 3.0 FRCS from 15 years ago. SCAG doesn't even compare that well to the 3.5 Players Guide to Faerun.
The sundering it seems with gods just brought back all the dead ones and included everything so now there is new silliness like Amauntor +Lathander floating around and Cyric has lost most of his portfolios he had in say 2E. Probably just avoid 5E Realms anyway along with the new novels.
Did not buy the online tools at the virtual table due to its pricing.
