[QUOTE="pming, post: 7760496, member: 45197"] Hiya! Well, with how so many 5e'ers seem to be set on "official only" (someone did a poll a few weeks ago that was rather surprising to me)...hold... found it! [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?497771-Does-your-group-allow-homebrew-or-3PP-material[/url] 34%+ use 'published only'. A full THIRD of us [I]only [/I]use published. O_O To me, that is a huge number for a game that is based on imagination and making stuff up. Also, the usual reasons (DM is 'outvoted', DM was bought/given the book and asked to run it, DM's players kinda want to try it and the DM wants to play with his friends, etc; you know, the regular social/friendship/slim-pickins' trio). Agreed, 100%. Always nice to see another DM's view on what a "cool fantasy idea" is to them. Biggest problem with Ravnica is that, from what I can tell, it was pretty much "designed by committee"? I'm not seeing any info anywhere about who actually "wrote" Ravnica. I'm not saying that this format can't be good (or even great), I'm just saying I'd rather trust the vision of one person (or two working together), than a group of people who were told "Hey, work up a new backdrop story thing for Magic. We need to put out a new card-series to keep this cash-cow going! Got that? Good. Get to work. See you in a month" by some CEO/Company-muckety-muck. In short...I'll wait for the rest of the masses to start giving more info before I even really consider grabbing it. YMMV. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
