D&D 5.5e, will you get it?

[Bill Zebub]

Probably not, judging by the feedback here. I mean, apparently I don’t even get 5.0 and I’m playing it all wrong.

Or did the OP mean ‘get’ in the sense of ‘purchase’ or ‘acquire’?

 

[J.Quondam]

Wait and see. I still have no genuine idea of the nature or degree of any changes to be made.

 

[el-remmen]

Other: Maybe.

 

[tetrasodium]

I don't know. The statements he's given promise about as much change as "the books will be printed on.... [drumroll].. paper". 2024 is a good way off & making that decision is going to need a lot more.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

Depends, really.

If it includes some revisions that are not already in print somehow (Tasha's changes) and I have not already created a fix for them, I'll get it.

So, that means that the revised MM interests me, and maybe the DMG if it includes optional modules with a little more thoughts behind them.

 

[Cadence]

My son will certainly want them, and so... i guess I will be too...

 

[GMforPowergamers]

Poll question based on the Ray Winninger thread and statements within.

Do you plan on buying the 5.5e versions that are coming out for the 50th anniversary?

if it really is just 5.5 with tasha updates i am out

 

[DEFCON 1]

Of course!

I mean what else am I going to do? NOT get them and then keep posting here on the boards "I guess WotC and D&D has left me behind" with sad-face emojis? I'd rather not.

 

[Shardstone]

Ain't got a choice. Gotta keep up with the design philosophy so that way I can keep making content that sells to people.

This would be about the only reason I would.

 

[MockingBird]

If it's truly backwards compatible I'm definitely going to upgrade. If it's extreme changes then I'm probably not and just stick to 5e.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

I don't know. The statements he's given promise about as much change as "the books will be printed on.... [drumroll].. paper". 2024 is a good way off & making that decision is going to need a lot more.

Given the fact, that paper is becoming rare and expensive, that at least is something!

 

[TwoSix]

Too early to say. If it’s backwards compatible with earlier material, and also introduces a fair amount of new material, I will certainly pick it up. If it's not backwards compatible, or is simply a lightly errataed version of the 2014 book, I won't.

 

[Argyle King]

I would be more likely to buy a 6E than 5.5.

I may feel differently once I can see what is in the new books. Right now, I'm not sure exactly what I am buying or why I need it.

 

[Laurefindel]

Sooner or later, I’ll be suckered into buying them all. Sooner if I like the content. But one or another, they gonna get me. It is pointless to resist…

 

[Professor Murder]

On the day of release, just like every other rules update.

 

[Lazvon]

Definitely will get them, pre-order even. Why? To support company profit and ensure they don't defund one of my hobbies.

 

[Greg K]

if it really is just 5.5 with tasha updates i am out

Yeah, if that is what 5.5 is, I won't be purchasing 5.5 books.

 

[Lakesidefantasy]

Honestly, I'm not sure I will. However, it will be hard to resist the 50th anniversary hype.

 

[DND_Reborn]

I doubt I will buy the 5.5E (or whatever) books unless there are MAJOR improvements...

For example, since everything is supposed to backwards compatible, I wish in MMotM they had included the legacy racial ASIs as well as the original source for a PC race. We made new PCs last night and it was horrible trying to find the original races...
