[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8685172, member: 50987"] Unpopular opinion: I'd breathe a sigh of relief if this much-hyped "50th Anniversary D&D" turns out to be just a 5E reprint of the core rulebooks, but with errata and a leather cover. That is what I'm hoping they do, and I make sure to mention that in every survey they send out. See, here's the thing. I'm not shopping for a new edition, and I'm not going to switch to something drastically different from what I'm already using and accustomed to. Sure, there's still 2 long years for me to reconsider that stance, but it's going to be a long uphill battle to talk me into buying new books. (Seriously, I looked it up: according to Amazon, my 5E hardcopy library would cost $431 if I were to purchase it today, and according to the Roll20 Marketplace, my digital compendium would cost $450. I don't know what that says about me as a person, but here we are.) I'm really only interested in an updated set of core rulebooks that combines all of the errata, plus all the materials from [I]Xanathar's, Tasha's, Mordenkainen's, Volo's, Fizban's, [/I]etc. into a single three-book set. That's pretty much it: I want a fancy reprint of what I already have...not a new game or a new game edition. I told you it was an unpopular opinion. But who knows? Two years is a long time for me to change my mind. [/QUOTE]
