D&D (2024) D&D Pre-orders; this is sad

[Oofta]

You must have missed the "This is the beginning of how" part of that sentence.

This is the beginning of how...what? I get a book a couple of weeks earlier that I will likely use for several years? Oh the horror!

Or are you talking about the baseless and unfounded conjecture of what they could hypothetically do? I'm sorry, but there are enough issues with reality, I don't get why we have to invent new issues.

So they are actually overly fair to the FLGS.

yes, that is a god thing for the FLGS, and new with these core books

Yes. Everything gets worse. And I guess, when D&D finally reaches the point where print is not available anymore, we have way more serious problems to solve...
Apropos digital... maybe we should stop paying our internet provider and start writing letters again... Was a way more civilized age back then.

you need a subscription for the early access

but you are not forced to get early access, so your not being forced.

However, you are forced to get the digital + physical bundle if you want the dragon art book, which I do. I am still not get that bundle though.

I am pretty sure the attempt at an incentive is the Gold Dragon Digital Mini and Artbook. Depending on how the VTT turns out the mini could be cool, and I always liked Artbooks.

that is their attempt to get you to preorder the bundle, rather than just the PHB, yes

I admit the art book on dragons has made me think about get the digital/ physical bundle. I'm committed to getting the physical books from a FLGS though.

you get those by preordering the digital bundle as well, no need to go print and digital

It is on the verge of working on me. I do want that art book. No go for me at the moment, but who knows when it get's closer to delivery time!

To me, "owning" things is oftentimes overrated.

lol yikes.

This is right up there with another comment I saw on this forum about "a world of Post Literacy is good cuz youtube."

You all can enjoy having nothing and being happy about it, I'll be on my property, relaxing with the people I enjoy, and the things no corp can take away because well..I own them.
