I used to be "it" but then they changed what "it" was! (I bought D&D books for the Forgotten Realms content {though D&D wasn't my first TTRPG}) - When I picked up 5e it was because people had convinced me the edition was both worth trying mechanically, and because between the official stuff and DMs guild, most of the FR content I would expect from D&D was finally available. By 2019 before I stopped playing 5e, I was using something like 1700 pages of DMs Guild books, and less than that out of the official books. Eventually concluded that 5e's gameplay was just not my thing. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />(And then after I stopped buying it they gave me cause to dislike their business practices).These days, if I buy a new D&D thing, it's likely a Forgotten Realms thing self-published by Greenwood; Costa; Boyd; or Krashos. Otherwise, like 2008-2016, I'm back to basically just picking up novels (audiobooks now) and good deals on old stuff.I am a little curious about Lorwyn. I liked Lorwyn in 2007. But I thought Ravnica was a terrible setting book and regretted buying it. So... I certainly won't be preordering Lorwyn. Colour me very cautiously optimistic on that book. But I have no near-future plans to pick up 5.5e, and my 5e books sit in a box at the back of my closet under other boxes. lol</blockquote>
