[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9774064, member: 7034611"] you never cared for 5e to begin with, so not sure how much of a change that is… we will only know that we are past the peak once we are well past it. I think we might be around peak, but I am not expecting a steep decline anytime soon, so a few months will not make a difference. As to 5e products, I see them like English, they provide an easy baseline to translate into a game I might actually play that is not 5e-ish (and what I am interested in is mostly in that ballpark of fantasy, so it does translate over), on top of working for the 5e-ish ones anyway. I almost see 5e products as generic products. Both will need some adaptation to a specific system (that is not 5e). There are still products coming out that I am interested in, but over time the accumulated products make it harder to get interested in new ones / find ones that are not just a slight variation on the same theme so I think the number of 3pp products I am buying is slowly declining. At the same time it does not really matter what one individual does, there are constantly people entering and leaving D&D, what matters is the aggregate. [/QUOTE]
