Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 9003490" data-attributes="member: 52734">I recognize this is all personal opinion, but I think like everybody else, this is all based on how much folks are getting out of the game.  For me, once I got the 5E starter set (with Phandelver), my interest and desire to engage began climbing dramatically.  Curse of Strahd’s release was for me the absolute high point - I was in heaven to have a 5E version of my favorite adventure, with a vast expansion into a full-on campaign.  For a while I was hooked on buying just about everything that came out (I was extremely picky with adventures, only grabbing the ones I planned to actually run - but most of the others struck me as good quality).  Xanather’s has become my most-used add-on.However, Tasha’s was the first book I ran across that wrinkled my nose - mainly with the change to ”races” and what I saw as power creep.  Overall, I found nothing in it really worth adding to my game or that interested me (Artificer had already been in Eberron, and is about the only other thing I’ve considered is the revised Ranger).  After that point, I started to become disinterested in the books and skipping them.  None of the 2023 books interest me, with the exception of Planescape - but with how poorly Spelljammer was handled I’m not expecting it to be very good.  As for 2024, since the release of 5E I’ve made up my mind I’m not going to a new version, and reprints of existing books I have are right out.  If what comes following the Core OneD&D is not compatible - or requires significant modification - to 2014 D&D, I’ll not be picking it up and thus WotC D&D will be past glory days/dead for me.So, for me, WotC D&D is on a steep decline.  3rd party D&D is still climbing - I‘ve found that while I buy little WotC D&D products lately I’ve been accumulating quite the 3rd party collection.</blockquote>
