[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 8285952, member: 75077"] I do not fully get this. Isn’t this what D&D Beyond is for? Even if they wanted to publish a 400-page volume, would that not be even more intimidating to a new player? Wouldn’t the cost be prohibitive? Wizards of the Coast has worked so hard to reprint material from Sword Coast and Eberron in Tasha’s. Is it [I]that[/I] hard (or bad) to have Tasha’s and Xanathar’s and whatever the next volume is be books that people grow into at the relevant time in their D&D-playing lifespan? Maybe I am a casualty of 2nd edition where my friends and I lugged a bunch of books around, but this notion that a revised PHB is going to realistically include the material from Xanathar’s and Tasha’s strikes me, with all due respect, as a far-fetched fantasy. So when Wizards releases a new book of options in 2023 or 2026, then we will expect a further updated PHB that includes that additional material? What are we going for here? What is the endgame? Maybe the desire to have every game option included between two covers is a generational divide or something, but I just don’t get it. I am fine letting the game develop and expand and I am fine buying new books and I am fine having the new players who come along start with the PHB or a starter set or the free rules online and then dip in from there. I am DMing a game now with four brand new players. Some are using Tasha’s options I slipped them, but none of them could identify that volume by name. These things emerge over time. I bought the Essentials Kit for them because the PHB seems like it is intimidatingly big for them. Now people want a larger PHB just so we can include the Rune Knight and Circle of Spores Druid? Count me clueless. [/QUOTE]
