[QUOTE="Nostromo, post: 6612718, member: 7500"] Ok, I was serious BTW :) I have been out of it for awhile so I was not clear what the direction of 5e was--some of you cleared that up for me, thanks! I bought the 3 core books and have played maybe 30-40 hours with them so far, not much. But I was looking for more material, but it looks like it will be much later, if ever at all. Last time I played was 3.5, skipped 4.e and now have a group that does 5e every other week or so. Seems like they are doing the anti-pathfinder route--which is an interesting business strategy. Like some said, treating it more like a brand instead of an RPG. Like that one guy (famous dnd guy) got hired back as a contractor to work on license material (organization) so video games and other companies have an easier time to access...wtf?? But, honestly, as you guys have pointed out that probably makes more money than splat book of the 3.5 era. Thanks again and happy gaming! I seriously wasn't trying to troll!!! But if I put on my jerk hat...I personally think this strategy is frickin stupid--we at a minimum need: Planar Guide for travelling the planes and gear to go with it (and yes someone who played AdnD 1e I have a right to request this so lick my b#lls) 1 solid, detailed Campaign setting (FR, Greyhawk who cares but we need at least 1) Fiend Folio (or more monster books in general, DnD needs way more monsters, wth!!!) If they just release these 3 core books then a bunch of adventures, 5e will be more quickly dead than 4e, what a waste. [/QUOTE]
