D&D (2024) Why aren't you using 5e 2024?

[Redwizard007]

Lots of rants in threads about the new books, so let's make a safe place for salty goblins to really let go, and vent about why this is the end of the civilized world. Let the vitriol spew like the breath of your favorite black dragon, but remember to follow rules about decorum and personal attacks.

Hmmm, I don't really think this will end well.

I do not see the choice for:
Because I'm waiting for the books to come out (all of them).
Because I'm getting the books for Christmas
Because I'm in the middle of a campaign and waiting for a new one to convert.

The poll options are a bit hyperbolic

At this point, I just can't be bothered. I have an ongoing campaign with the old rules, and it works well enough and changing over would be a hassle. I might incorporate some elements of the new rules; we'll see. After that, I don't know...
I had some issues with 2014 rules, and I wished 2024 rules would fix them, but in most part they didn't, but instead introduced a bunch of new issues. At this point it feels that if I want to run another D&Dish campaign after this, I need to do some major rewriting. 5e is pretty hackable, and I like the chassis, so it is perfectly doable, but I'm also a bit tired with fighting with the parts of the system I don't like, so I might just run something completely different for a change instead.

I clicked on the thread title and was actually going to answer the question seriously, then I read the poll options. A thread like this, just trying to start fights, is a waste of everyone's time. Please be better, OP.

You're missing an option: Because 2024 is just more power creep over 2014.

 

[Nefermandias]

The options are polarising and sarcastic, so I won't touch any.

Still, I would like to give my opinion on the matter. I am in the minority who bought the new books, but probably won't have much practical use for them in the near future.

Too much power creep, too much player entitlement, too few customisation options.

Will probably be running Moldvay Basic/Cook Expert in 2025. Wish me luck convincing my players to buy in.

Good luck! I'm hopeful my current 5e game will be the last one I DM for in a long time.

My current plans are to try out Shadow of the Weird Wizard, Dolmenwood, and Break! for my next campaigns.

I mean, people seem eager to start fights in every other thread, no matter the topic, so this seems like ansolid idea.
