My bookshelves are already full, and there won't be selling PDFs, so I'm out already.
Yep, and I'm sick of change, especially after 2019-2020. I'll go play with what I already have, just like I did around 4E. I can already see from the UA this edition will have nothing I want.The only constant is change. Refusing to change does mean one will be out at one point or another.

This can be a real issue - but it is avoidable. Move the PCs to a blank screen when not engaged in combat and use theater of the mind. The distraction goes away. I do this on Roll20 these days - moving the PCs to a white background when the combat ends.Not skeptical that it will come out, but skeptical that it is a good way to play D&D. I honestly believe that the fancier the VTT, the more it detracts from anything not combat, and makes it harder to run things on the fly or even homebrew prepped.
Thoughts?
