[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9090463, member: 7006"] Why is buying the 5E24 books going to be fine and worth my time? Because they will correct and fix a bunch of niggling little things that have been a little annoying (that sure, they [I]could[/I] have corrected using errata pages all along but chose not to after the complaints they got during 4E when they did that)... and I've been saving my $7 each month since the updates were first announced last year and thus I will be [I]easily[/I] flush with the cash to buy a new set of books when the time comes. So why not? Do I [I]need[/I] to buy these new books? Nope. Any rules issues with 5E14 I more than fixed for myself many, many years ago... so if WotC never bothered to fix them it wouldn't have bothered or impacted me one single bit. But if they [I]are[/I] going to release new versions with a lot of the fixes put in, and I have the money to do so (because I will have actually saved my cash for this specific purpose for the full 18 months before its release)... then I don't see any reason not to buy them. New books are new books. I've had no issue buying almost every new edition's books and revised books over the decades, so this set will be no different. If some people don't want to buy them? Cool. No big deal. If you have moved on to LU or TotV, or just want to stay with 5E14... more power to you. But don't then also whine that WotC didn't give you a reason to buy 5E24, because quite frankly they are under no obligation to give you a book that [I]you specifically[/I] want. Yes, WotC will release a trio of 5E24 books that some of you won't find value in. And that's fine. But it was never their job to do so for every single one of us players across the board, so just accept that you might have fallen outside the purview they were aiming at this time around. And be thankful there are probably any number of other 5E-adjacent products out there right now that ARE what you want and can happily use. [/QUOTE]
