Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 6266879" data-attributes="member: 7006">If the 5E game is released this summer with the functionality of DDI intact for use in this new game... then that is my one "must-have" purchase.I personally am a believer that the age of hardcover books has passed, and that a subscription model to get all my information electronically is my go-to for the future.  As I also believe that is how WotC would prefer most of us played the game (since production costs are much less for getting the info out there through DDI than they are for printing and shipping hardcover books)... I wish to support them in their preferred method.I might end up buying the three core books anyway just as a thank you (or especially if DDI doesn't have 5E functionality right off the bat)... but that'll be most likely the only books I'll buy.  I found in 4E that my hardcover monster manuals, adventurer vaults, and splatbooks to be my least-opened material since the info was all available to me through DDI.As far as other story-based material is concerned... I would expect that is most cases I wouldn't need those either, as the story material (from like Manual of the Planes, Deities and Demigods etc.) would be rather unchanged from previous editions of the books, and any crunch would eventually appear in DDI.  Which I am fine with.  To me... being a DDI member will be my way of supporting Wizards of the Coast and Dungeons & Dragons.  I won't need to buy dead trees to do it.</blockquote>
