[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9301632, member: 7040132"] I'm not re-buying the whole game because I have to. If the revised books give me value, they've earned my business. But we can all still play 5E with our current 2014 books. And every new adventure going forward will still be able to be played using the 2014 books as well. Sure, new generations will be mostly buying 2024 books, but that's nothing weird. If they just kept running more print runs of the 2014 books, new and recurring customers still be buying more recently manufactured books. They'd just have that decade-old design. Books are a tool. Old tools wear out and can be replaced. If you find nothing wrong with your current version of the books, there is no harm done to you. You will always be able to find used books if yours falls apart. But a refresh can be inspiring to the imagination. The game occurs in our minds, not in the books. How many people here say that they are bored with the 2014 options? Fresh ideas can be a boon. I see so many people excited about the entire monk refresh, the Archfey warlock redesign, and more. They are getting high marks compared to the marks given for the 2014 options. [/QUOTE]
