D&D 5E D&D 2022 Overview - Did you purchase any of the books?

[Greg Benage]

How so? are you using the adventure?

Also, are you Greg Benage of Midnight fame?

I'm pulling out the usable bits, but there aren't very many of them. The skeleton is fine for what it is, but it's a terrible fit for the kind of Spelljammer campaign we wanted to play. A lot of the meat is usable, but there just isn't a lot of meat. Basically, there's not a great deal of content (by 5e campaign standards) even if you plan to use it as intended; there's very little indeed if you plan to stripmine it.

And yes, that's me, big fame.

Enjoy the professional fame. I enjoyed a lot of FFG d20 books you worked on and recognized your name as well. I played a Luminous from Mythic Races in two pbp games here in the 3.0 era.

It's kinda embarrassing for me to be a gaming fan who runs 5e at least twice a week and to be completely uninterested in a year's worth of official products. I purchased none of them.

I'm gonna take the opposite position of DEFCON 1.
"Wait... you didn't make totally unnecessary purchases to totally bloat up your game collection with stuff you probably won't use?!? You sure you were properly socialized into this(/any) hobby? What are you? A monk?!?"

The kind of Spelljammer campaigns that always appealed to me.

Fair enough. It has some good parts, but it doesn't run smoothly. Have you read my thread?

I'll make a note!
