D&D (2024) D&D 5.5e, will you get it?

[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...
