Only 5 books this year? Seemed like there was so much more. I guess time has blurred for me.
I am the reverse, I have little interest in a new D&D wargame set of rules, but I like Dragonlance well enough as a setting.I'm not a fan of DL but I may still end up with it if it sounds like the wargame that is supposedly included is flexible enough and to my liking. I don't have a lot of interest in it otherwise.
I'm going to buy Dragonlance because they have convinced me it's worth the money, which I sadly cannot say for anything else they've put out this year.I bought Monsters of the Multiverse, though it was a bit of an impulse buy long after release. Bought Spelljammer on day one, and found it sadly lacking in meat. I don't normally buy adventures, but I'm going to pick up Dragonlance when it comes out in print next week, because I have a big ol' soft spot for the setting and I'm thinking about trying to start up another group to run it.
For perspective, I've bought three WotC books (including Dragonlance next week) and backed thirteen 5th-ed-based RPG kickstarters this year (and there's another two, possibly three, that I'll probably back before the end of the year). And most of the kickstarters are pushing double the price or more of a typical WotC hardback release once shipping etc is included.I'm going to buy Dragonlance because they have convinced me it's worth the money, which I sadly cannot say for anything else they've put out this year.

Considering the ongoing success of the main 3 books, I was looking at things which are supplemental to that. Not sure if I misunderstood what the starter boxed set was though?
Ah my bad, I'll add it!I don't think you should have skipped the starter. It has its own adventure, and therefore is a supplemental product like any other. Sure, us "hardcore" D&D-players have less use for it than we do other products (generally), but it's still a pretty major product. (For example, I sold more of them at my FLGS than I did of Netherdeep, and the new starter is still relatively young!
Ah my bad, I'll add it!
