I played 2e through junior high and high school, and then did not play for almost 20 years until the 5e playtest came out.  Coincidentally we had been playing a lot of board games with some friends, and one of them mentioned they really wanted to try D&D. So we've gotten back into it, and this time I have *much more* disposable income. I've been happy with just about all the 5e products I've read so far (I haven't read quite all of them). I think they're doing a fantastic job, and I think many new and returning audiences are responding really well to the products. The vast majority of players, even DMs, have a much more casual relationship to D&D than basically anyone posting here, and they just don't care about arguments over canon. This is similar to what we see in comic books.I *do* want to see new stuff. New settings, different ideas. I do hope they don't go on with the nostalgia forever. But the fact is that so far they've generally done a great job with it, and all the new material has been interesting, inventive, and in many ways very original even when inspired by classic adventures. Anyway, players so deep into the canon are probably doing their own homebrew campaigns anyway, just as most of the creators do, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to target them with products.</blockquote>
