[QUOTE="Bayonet, post: 6621562, member: 6780018"] I'm a long time Sci-fi/fantasy nerd who always wanted to get into D&D but didn't for various reasons. I have a feeling there are a ton of people out there like me. I got into 5E because it was relatively cheap and simple to do so. 20 bucks for a Starter Set got me everything I needed to jump in, and I LOVED it. Now I'm a dedicated fanboy for life, no doubt about it. I bought the core books as soon as I could get them, played through HotDQ/RoT as soon as I could find a group, and I'm seriously looking at buying Princes of the Apocalypse soon (along with a lot of the 3rd party stuff out there.) I'd gladly spend money buying any sort of adventure path, splat book or whatever-the-:):):):) happens to get released for the system.
