D&D General Ranking your interest in D&D's new lineup

[guachi]

I have zero interest in anything except Dark Sun. If that's good I'll buy it.

I always thought 2e Dark Sun looked really cool but lack of money kept me from buying it. Maybe the 5e will be good.

I'll be interested to see what they do with WoW and Dark Sun, but the possible Greyhawk and other setting stuff, including from third party, I hope will be cool.

One of the more potentially impactful things that I guess just falls under DnDBeyond Features is that new LFG tool- it seems to be largely overlooked.

I'm the most excited about the Warcraft book. I've been playing WoW on and off since 2005. I play it as a single player game, and the biggest draw to me has always been the characters and their stories (much more so than the gameplay). I tried doing raiding and other endgame stuff but it wasn't for me. I'm there for the stories.

So this book seems like a good fit for me. I l love the kinds of stories WoW tells, I enjoy the Warcraft aesthetics and I love creating WoW characters (including back stories!) I've even adapted the Ironsworn RPG to fit WoW so I can roleplay my characters lives outside of the video game.

I'm not too sold on D&D 2024 yet. I got fatigued with 5e after 10 years of running multiple weekly games, and the rules refresh made some changes that make the play experience worse for me personally. I tried them and they didn't click. But I want to give it another chance with this book.

Second choice was the partnerships. Mostly because this is what I wanted D&D to do ever since 5e came out. I'm excited for Everton and Kobold Press has never let me down so far.

Dark Sun for me. Somewhat the Greyhawk adventure.

I already have plenty of Star Wars versions, my favorite is still the d6 version.

I tried WoW years ago, and just never got interested in it.

Another D6 loyalists. I like SWSE as well.

Voted SW and Darksun.

I wonder how many of the species in the Star Wars universe will be in the Star Wars: Season of Rebellion book as PC species.

Warcraft's probably a bad one to go off as it sounds like Warcraft is going to be crazy. I'd expect wookies at the very least?

Anyway. Warcraft is my main one (wow who'd have thunk it) with Dark Sun coming in for second. Third is probably Star Wars, but that's moreso to look for looting creatures off of there and into other settings. My general history in the D&D side involves using a krayt dragon a lot of times as a surrogate Big Drake Thing back in the Neverwinter Nights days, so similar is going to end up happening to said official stat block if I can snag it

I am expecting the Lasat and the Karkarodons.

Greyhawk. Only Greyawk, really. BUT there was some stellar Greyhawk support released by the fan community in the past few years (e.g. the Campaign Guide and the Revised Gazetteer), so WotC has some stiff competition.

 

[Li Shenron]

I can hardly rank them, as my interest in each and every one of them is too small...

Crown of the Witch (10% chance?) is the only book I might have a remote chance at buying, not because it's Greyhawk (I really don't care about it) but because adventures are always good, and for them whether they are 5.0 or 5.5 doesn't matter. However, I have way too many adventures not yet played, it makes little sense to buy more at this point. Maybe if it turns out to be exceptionally well received.

Dark Sun (5% chance?): in theory, I wanted to give this setting a try for a long time, but this is now too late, as this product will be all about new character material (species, subclasses, backgrounds) for 5.5e which I don't want in my 5e games, and will be slim on actual settings lore like another SCAG or FRPG; so if I really want to try Dark Sun I'm better off getting the setting books from older editions

D&D Beyond: I use it only for quickly checking spell descriptions at the gaming table, and nothing else; if the new features are available for free users then ok, otherwise I am not even going to look at them

Star Wars: never had any interest in a RPG about this in my life... Loved the original movie trilogy, liked the second trilogy, tolerated the third trilogy, but otherwise the franchise is pretty much lame for me at this point.

World of Warcraft: I played the game for a little while when it was fairly new (which is decades ago already) but I have zero interest in running a D&D game in this setting, for me it's another vanilla fantasy setting with no edge.

Icons is probably about fantasy novels, which I don't read.

Classic settings to third parties... similar to Dark Sun, the standard for a setting book will probably be 5.5e crunch and too little lore, so why bother. If they do adventures, chances are better, but again I have too many.

Feeling that if I had to pick something, it would be the third-party offerings, so that's what I did.

I have zero faith in the rest of the announcements except for WoW, and I'm not actually interested in WoW. Death Saves and the edgelord tripe being passed off as "Dark Sun" are somewhere in the void beyond negative zero faith, interest or tolerance.

WoW was definitely my #1 choice as a former player from shortly after it came out. Choosing #2 was a bit more difficult since I’m a huge Star Wars fan but I’m not really into Sci-Fi in my TTRPGs, and I’ve only heard of Dark Sun through what I’ve read from people here but ……Psion won out for me.
