[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 7163497, member: 6667921"] So today I made the decision to let go of my 5th Edition D&D books by putting them up for sale. I've been playing the game and collecting books since the 80s before there was an edition. It was just Basic and Advanced. I stuck with it through the ups and downs with mixed emotions and perspectives, but still I played and collected the books. I've downsized my collection many times, cutting the fat from previous material that was no longer looked at or relevant. But now for the first time in over three decades and no less than eight editions/revisions/variations of the game, I am willing to part with the [I]current[/I] edition still in use and supported by the parent company,... and it feels so strange. I'm not here to cry or complain about it. I just came to the realization that after so many years of running the edition treadmill, this is the first time that a new edition fails to inspire and maintain my interest. I suppose that means that I am no longer inside the target audience, but that's okay. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. In fact, it has freed me to explore different systems, and revisit the older editions. I was just wondering if anyone else feels like this. Nothing bitter. No reason to be sad, angry, or disappointed. Just feeling content to leave it behind and find another option. Its so strange, but in a good way. Anyone else? [/QUOTE]
