I saw it three times in the theater. And even though I don't like Hasbro's policies or D&D's general direction, I've picked up POD stuff on DMs Guild, a Hero Quest expansion (from Hasbro), and the steeply discounted stuff from Ollie's.I have a general malaise about 5e D&D. I'm not excited about any of the recent products. I downloaded the first playtest packet, but I can't seem to care about the 2024 release. The last product I wanted to use immediately in my game was 2017's Tomb of Annihilation and Xanthar's Guide. Six years without "something cool" and promises of more of the same (or worse) isn't something that gets me riled up to play. However, I bought most of the stuff regardless, because "it's D&D." So, it's easy for me to say that I'm not buying more products right now. Put the blame on the designers - or maybe it's the direction of the higher ups who shape the business model, but I've found most of the products to be pretty much worthless to my needs. But what I've seen from Deck of Many Things to Spelljammer all the way back to stuff like Descent to Avernus, the products just aren't "good enough" to come to my game. They'll win me back if they continue having good practices AND producing stuff I want.</blockquote>
