[QUOTE="Bacon Bits, post: 9267843, member: 6777737"] Sure, probably. But not with much excitement, and probably not right away. And probably with no real plans to buy anything past the big 3. Prior to 2022, our table of 6-8 players bought at least 2 copies of every book that WotC sold. A couple of us just collected the books. They're published slow enough that it's not a big deal. Since the OGL thing... none of us has bought any books. The quality feels like it has steadily declined since 2014, as well as the fact that as problems have come up WotC keeps publishing books that didn't do anything to address them. OGL was just the last straw. And now looking at what is coming out of OneD&D playtest? It's very frustrating. Changes that could have been fixed in 2016 when people noticed they were silly and probably bad, and fixed with just a list of recommended fixes to small issues. Or they could've done it in Xanathar's or Tasha's, or at any other point in the last 10 years. Not actual changes to address the foundational problems of spellcasting being stupid good, or the encounter system and rest system basically being non functional, or the shapechange and summoning spells, or how multiclassing is still just a terrible mechanic. The problems that are so big that a DM can't fix them by themselves. It's like AD&D 2e. It's rewriting Ranger while keeping descending armor class. So, I'm sure I'll pick them up, because they will be technically better. But my table is looking at other games, and has been doing both since last year. We just don't want to play a game with such big problems that they just don't won't ever address. Especially if they're going to produce adventures that feel like I have to put a ton of effort into them to make them work. [/QUOTE]
