[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8932998, member: 20564"] I had the talk at one table prior to the current situation that I wouldn'\t be buying any more WotC products. That I'd play 5e but not have access to anything new, and would not be picking up the 2024 Anniversary Edition. If they wanted to move on to 2024 I'd be glad to play other games with them but I'd be leaving the main campaign. Some understood, some didn't understand the importance of the situation but were supportive that I felt strongly about it. But a few of us have been trying to get other systems into that group for a while - not as a replacement to do D&D better than D&D does (though for any particular table there may be those out there) but to play games that D&D doesn't do particularly well. We'd flirted with them, but while they are all good roleplayers it's a mix of how much people are willing to invest in a game system and some don't have the energy to learn new ones with everything going on. On the other hand, in another group we're currently playing 1920s Pulp Call of Cthulhu, and the last time that group played D&D was a 3.5 campaign that lasted a year or two into 4e's release. Yet another group I put together and run, so when the current campaign finishes I'll propose what I want to run next and we'll go from there. [/QUOTE]
