D&D 5E (2024) Have the 2024 PHB Reveals changed your intentions re: purchasing D&D 2024/25?

[Reynard]

Just a quick poll. There is lots of information on the PHB out ther enow. Have those revelations altered your intentions?

 

[Mind of tempest]

it feels like to little of a change in the areas that need work

 

[Parmandur]

Nah, I was going to get it, and still will. Really not any big surprises, they have been fastidious about broadcasting what they are doing.

 

[Stormonu]

Yes: I had not planned to purchase 2024 D&D (but had been curious if the reveals would change that opinion) and the reveals have reinforced that view.

 

[TwoSix]

Nope. I said over a year ago I needed more transformation, or at least more novelty, to consider the purchase; nothing I've seen has been anywhere near the level I'm looking for.

I wanted something akin to a new room added to the house, this is only rearranging the furniture.

 

[borringman]

Nah. FWIW, I think 5E is fine. I like it fine. It's OK.

What I'm getting at is, I DO see why it's successful. It's fun enough. I don't see any reason other than name recognition backed by Hasbro's marketing budget why it so thoroughly dominates the market. Again, it's not bad. It's just not a masterpiece either. It doesn't really suffer from serious problems so much as deliberate limitations baked into the design itself. It's fundamentally never going to do the things I want it to do, it doesn't want to, so I don't have any incentive to buy a revision.

 

[grimmgoose]

Nope. I would've gladly purchased a 6E.

I'm not interesting in playing - letting alone buying at full price - 5E, again.

Just for curiosity's sake... what ttrpg's would you consider masterpieces and why?

 

[FrogReaver]

I was leaning toward no. But now toward yes, but it’s less to do with the reveals and more to do with wanting to analyze the new options.
