[QUOTE="Gravenhurst48, post: 9229294, member: 7018321"] I am on the complete opposite side of the coin. If there are no books in a store, I am not a D&D buyer anymore. Yes, I could purchase a POD from DRIVETHRURPG or DMs GUILD, but probably wouldn’t because everything needs to be shipped out. Yes, I have purchased online: no rush for anything, and no need but to own and review. If you need an extra d20 for every player starting 5E, your game day will be delayed, but if you have time, Amazon Prime is awesome with ine day deliveries. Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I have been trying my hardest to remove myself from reading anything on a mobile device. I understand the convenience, but to me, removing product displayed in stores is a company defeat that proves their written material is not good enough to be supported anymore. Supporting your local businesses is also a duty I believe us gamer-hobbiests should try to perform. I find solace in making it a day sifting thru old and new gaming material, at a hobby shop, chatting with employees or other patrons, about whatever. A social experience you can not get from purchasing online. And I am a collector of old out of print stuff too. Today's 5E product is probably not worth much because no artist no writer, no editor, stands out enough for me to care to collect anything 5E. I do have a good size of 5E. But like the final 3 Star Wars films, I may never return to take a second peak. I may regret that last statement, but nobody stands out to me. I never purchased anything 5E because of the writer, like every edition before 5E, except for 4E. Designs yes? Maybe Mike Mearls? Chris Perkins? Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman revival could draw me into Dragonlance. But no one else has been a star for me to "have that one book." And ironically, those rehashed books from past Editions are all just fluffy fluff watered down 5E conversion fakes, such as Tomb Anihilation, Princes Apocalypse, Salt Marsh, Tales Yawning Portal.... But whatever floats your boat and whatever float HASBRO/WOTC need to keep their own boat from sinking. And as the layoffs show, they may have a leaky boat for a few years to come as they grow new teams to produce a new era of Dungeons and Dragons. [/QUOTE]
