[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8170383, member: 6780330"] I'm just interjecting, I just thought I'd throw in some parameters to compare the rate of products. I was just counting from Wikipedia, so the 14th is Legends & Lore, so good point: in less than 7 years, 5E has as many published hardcover rulebooks as 1E had in 12. On top of that, by and large the 5E books are larger books. There have only been 14 5E Adventure books (plus two premium reprints) in the first 7 years as of Candlekeep Mysteries release, but they are all large books with a significant amount of adventure content. By a quick and dirty count, there were ~34 softcover 1E modules published prior to 1984 (it really exploded after Dragonlance, later on), all quite short (between 5-10% of a 5E Adventure book). On balance, I think 5E has more official adventure material before you include RPGA, AL, Dungeon magazine, or DMsGuild stuff. Undoubtedly, 5E has a much faster publication schedule at this point in direct comparison with 1E. [/QUOTE]
