I got myself Strixhaven for my birthday in February, because my group was starting a game in the setting. But that was my first purchase since Candlekeep Mysteries. I've been waiting for the books to go on one of those "buy two, get one free" sales on Amazon again.

Last was Call of the Netherdeep, a month or two ago, on a rare trip to my FLGS. Previous purchase - Strixhaven - had been a few months prior, mostly a pity purchase from an ailing game store.

Up through 2020 I usually bought the new 5E hardcovers as they came out, but that habit died last year. Now I wait to see the general response and make my decision based on that. (For example, I have no intention of buying MOTM.) Radiant Citadel is the first one in a while to actively interest me, but I'm still going to wait.
 


My last D&D book was Volo's Guide of Monsters in October 2020, because the translations were stopped. Maybe this summer I buy new books, Van Richen's Ravenloft Guide, Tasha, and Moderkainen's Multiverse, but I have to save money.
 

Mordenkainen update kinda regretted it.

Probably gonna stop for a bit grab Spelljammer. Covid restrictions can't play anyway so buying books I'm not gonna use is pointless.
 

The last adventure was Frostmaiden, the last rules supplement was Tasha's, and the last overall (and last setting) was Van Richten's - so 1-2 years for me.

The next books might be the 2024 core rules updates, but even that is very much in doubt. I may well just be done.
 


Last physical book was Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep, but I own almost every book digitally on DNDBeyond. I think the only things I don't have on there are the Rick & Morty and Stranger Things adventures.

I will generally buy every book on DNDBeyond. If I like an adventure, I will also buy it in hardcover as I prefer to read them that way while prepping them, though I will run them in DNDBeyond generally. I have stopped buying physical copies of the splatbooks entirely; last one was Tasha's and I never use the physical copy. Setting books it's about 50/50.
 

The last one I bought was Ravenloft, which was back in May '21. I have some of the newer ones in my house, but my son bought them, not me.
