D&D 5E How many 5e core books does your gaming group have?

[neobolts]

Popping up in another thread (here) was a conversation about how many 5e books per group. Thought it deserved it's own thread.

In our group of 6 players, we have 3 Player's Handbooks, 2 DMGs, and 2 Monster Manuals...out of 6 players. Secondary products: 1 Starter Set, and 1 each of Tyranny of Dragons modules.
Book purchase rates seems highest for us with 3.5 and Pathfinder, with a nearly 100% PH/Core Rulebook purchases.

What are other groups like in terms of book/player ratio? How does this compare with past editions for your group?

No idea all my games are over the internet via roll20, I have a feeling most of my players have scanned pdf copies of the books.

In my 5E group, there are two married couples and me.
We have 3 PHB's, 2 DMG's, and 2 MM's in the group. The DM and I both own all three core books. The other couple only owns the PHB.

 

[Jester David]

I pretty much supply all the books for my Pathfinder/ D&D games.

Everyone has the PHB. Other than me, I don't who has the PHB and MM.

 

[Taronkov]

My group everyone has the PHB except for me and my wife sharing one, otherwise we have to DM's guide and one MM. I also have Hoard and Rise.
