[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7135596, member: 518"] I don't disagree. Other than more expendable income now. My kids, wife and home take care of that! ;) I really like 5e as a system. Its not my fave, but I like it as an overall "sound" package. I would run it more if there was anything being put out for it that made me excited to do so! I would like to support WOTC. But WOTC has offered almost nothing to get me excited about 5e , and frankly, nobody else in 3rd party-dom is stepping up to the plate either. I was hopeful with the announcement of the 5e SRD that the companies I used to rely on in 3.x and 4e eras would go nuts and so would some other new ones. I supported some 5e KS projects and got some unremarkable, unenthusiastic , uninspiring books and/or conversions of previous 3.x/PF materials I used to own . Really disappointing. DMs Guild I also got excited for and it is filled mostly with things I don't need (subclasses, races, backgrounds, classes) or the adventures are as poor as I can write myself! Though M.T. Black has a few fun offerings worth the $. But overall DMsG is as bad as d20 print products of the 3.0 era. The really creative exciting products are coming out of the Indie/OSR writers and that is where I spend my money. And so I just run older D&D with my house rules or another system entirely 90% of the time. Its extra work converting to 5e and I don't bother anymore (though I did at first). Edit- That said, I do use the Realms. But it's a highly personalized version of the original TSR boxed set. As it was meant to be used way back when. I have found the setting as a whole/as published pretty unpalatable post 1989 or so. [/QUOTE]
