[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8687874, member: 6915329"] So? Is your current material going away? I mean, there's groups that have never moved past 1st edition. They've either adapted current material to their own game rules or ignored it and made up their own stuff. I have shockingly felt zero pressure to adopt any new rules from any books I've bought. Mostly because I've [I]liked [/I]a lot of the new rules, but there have been rules and lore that I've said "that's stupid" to and just ignore it and use older lore or lore from completely different systems or made stuff up. Both of y'all, if you don't like the new material, don't use it. If your players won't play without it, either use the rules or get new players. You'll have to determine what's more important to you, though. But does it [I]actually matter[/I] what the new rules say? If you're running a game and a player says "I want to play [I]X[/I]," where X involves a rule you personally dislike, is it [I]really [/I]going to diminish the experience of the game for you? Would it honestly be less fun for you if, I dunno, players who aren't you put their ASIs where they want or do things PB times per day rather than 1/short rest? [/QUOTE]
