[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6555371, member: 6787650"] You can stick with a system you already know, if you like. Don't change unless the good of 5E outweighs the bad, including the transition costs. There's nothing wrong with playing AD&D in 2015, or OD&D or D&D 3rd edition or Shadowrun or GURPS or Ars Magica or whatever floats your boat. Really? You have players who would actually spend 500,000 gp on sovereign glue if you gave it to them as an option? What's wrong with them? One reason you picked it as an example for this thread is that it's the most obviously bad valuation in the whole system except for universal solvent which is arguably even worse. Your guys wouldn't just look at that price tag and think, "nah, I'd rather have a +1 sword for 0.1% of the price, and spend the rest on 499 doses of purple worm venom"?
