The vast majority of older D&D fans I know IRL are loving this edition and it's underlying strategies to death. Slow release schedule, no expectation of buying more books, ease or running, etc. etc. It is great for new players, sure, and as lots of us have kids and significant others, and just want to play with new people for a multitude of reasons, the fact that new-to-ttrpgs love it so much is a particular boon.I don't know why you think older fans will not get what they want from this edition, or what you think that might be. This interview just seems to assure me that I will continue to be happy with their direction for the foreseeable future. But Mearls also points out something I certainly have experienced in the past, I really don't need anything else at this point to continue having a great time with 5e, the core books are more than I need. I keep giving them money because I like stuff like Volo's, SKT, and spellcards, but I don't need any of it really.</blockquote>
