[QUOTE="Ath'kethin, post: 7709813, member: 6798775"] I played 3.x pretty extensively, though I had my own issues with the book. My issues started when they cut the page count from 192 to 160. By itself, though, that wasn't too bad. But then they started increasing the font size and adding useless padding (prestige classes going from a few paragraphs to multiple pages in length), and it became clear that they were doing whatever they could to reduce the actual useful content of the supplements. Add to that the endless glut of new feats and spells and whatever, and I was just out. Regarding 5e: I find the useful content of the adventures slight enough that I haven't found them to be of great enough value to purchase. I love [I]Volo's Guide[/I], and I had high hopes for the new adventure collection as well. If the editing in the book as a whole is as lousy as it is in the previews, though, I will pass. A typo here and there is one thing; half-sentences and completely incorrect words are quite another. It's the kind of stuff that gets caught and corrected from printing to printing, so I'll just wait til they have it fixed. I have no shortage of adventures at the moment anyway, and given the massive overhauls I need to make for any published WotC adventure to make it for my campaign, I can sit on this one a bit.
