[QUOTE="Rabulias, post: 8634278, member: 16651"] Barring a 4e/Pathfinder split among the playerbase, 99% of third party publishers will follow the current version of D&D, whether it is 5.5e or 6e. If you are happy with 5e as it stands, I would think your preference would be for 5.5e, as it will be easier to convert that material to 5e than it would be to convert 6e material. For myself, I am pretty satisfied with 5e as it stands. The power creep of the recent books does not appeal to me.
