[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6274466, member: 37579"] I was/am pretty gung-ho about D&D5. It has great potential. And I was planning on buying it "sometime". Probably. WotC has lost their place on my "buy sight unseen" list, so my purchase was going to be dependant on reviews, cursory looks in the store, and evaluating a borrowed copy (or, let's be honest, a pirated copy). So, despite the promise of the playtest, they could still lose their way, forget some lessons learned, and release a terrible game. A few mechanical things make me nervous. While they probably won't stop my purchase they could delay it until I see even more of the game (i.e. future releases). And they might limit my purchases to just the core books rather than Core + accessories. And they might mean the difference between D&D5 being my go-to game and D&D5 being the game I play between campaigns of my go-to game. The price is similar to the above. It makes me hesitant and nervous, because it is a jump. We don't know if that's just the price for the PHB, or all the Core books, or all the hardcovers. Or size, as the 4e books were pretty small. Gaming is my principal hobby and financial sink, and if I'm supporting a game I'm going to get a lot of the accessories. But not if they're priced too high for the content. I'll throw away money for things I love and have bought many an RPG book that will never be used, but I'm trying to cut down on doing that. And if D&D5 is an unfortunate combination of mechanics I'm not thrilled about [I]and[/I] high prices it's going to be hard to justify the purchase unless everything else that that much more fantastic.
