[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7666451, member: 7006"] By my calculations, there are like five D&D Next playtest adventures to buy, and soon to be two full adventure path books to buy, a handful of adventures from other companies outside of WotC, as well as an entire website dedicated to selling old adventures for a game that was designed to be able to adapt to these modules with not a huge amount of investment in time and energy. If a person REALLY wanted to play 5E using nothing but existing adventure material, they could. Easily. But they don't. For some reason... they AREN'T wanting to buy 5E until MORE things are available. But for some odd reason they keep hanging around WAITING for an announcement, all the while bemoaning the fact there's nothing THEY LIKE that they want to buy. [i]As opposed[/i] to just playing an RPG they already own, already have material for, and have worked the rules out exactly how they want it. Where they could go off and BE HAPPY. That's what I can't comprehend. Rather than just going off to play the game they can already play in exactly the manner they want... they keep popping up in various threads here MAD that this game they [i]aren't[/i] playing isn't yet in a position that would make them want to play it, and that WotC isn't telling them WHEN that will eventually be. I mean come on! That is ridiculous. Especially when the complaints devolve down to "...and WotC is a bad company for not telling me when the game will reach a point where I'll be happy with it." If you don't want to play 5E, don't play 5E! That's completely okay! But when you keep showing up in 5E threads making grand declarations about how you're not going to play 5E... that just says to me you're someone who's desperately looking for attention. And if that's the case, then I'm going to call you on it. You don't want to have it pointed out to yourself that people think you are being completely unreasonable? Don't come into 5E threads to pee in people's cornflakes. Cause you WILL called out for it. Hell... you could go into all the other non-5E boards here and complain about 5E and you might very well receive a lot of agreement, seeing as how they are on the other game boards I presume because they're happy playing those other games and don't want to play 5E.
