Message: <blockquote data-quote="DinoInDisguise" data-source="post: 9703701" data-attributes="member: 7045806">Thinking back on discussions about D&D 2024 when it was fresher in our minds. We had a discussion, if I recall correctly, about how people felt on the changes. And even here, amongst Enworlders, one of the most enfranchised corners of the TTRPG community, we were split as to whether the changes were good, much less worth a monetary investment.In that thread, I remember a lot of comments saying that some changes were good. Some were bad. Some made no sense. I remember people commenting that it just changed some issues to different issues, while ignoring others.So I wonder, if we were split. If Enworlders were split on whether mechanical changes to a system were a net positive. Why would we expect the broader, more casual player base to be any different? If many deeply enfranchised players on this very board, felt indifferent to the changes, wouldn't it make sense that the community at large would be at least as indifferent?Obviously we’re all speculating, but I think ENWorld’s own reaction is a useful indicator. Some people like the changes, some don’t, many just don’t care; especially not enough to spend $150 to re-buy books for a game that still mostly works the same.I'm not surprised, having read our discussions on the topic, that the community isn't jumping at the opportunity to buy these books. $150 is a lot of money for a lot of people, and all for changes that don't really change the game, at least to many.</blockquote>
