D&D (2024) Will you buy 5.5e/6e PHB?

[R_J_K75]

I mean, I don't think anyone sets out to create a crummy product, so I'm pretty sure Wizards would like something that is perceived as better than what is there now.

But also like I've said - I don't think Wizards is interested in rocking the boat. I don't even think they're hoping to advance the game significantly mechanically with this release, but they can't pass up the anniversary without doing something special. IMO they'll call it a success if they release it and most of the complaints about it are "this isn't a new edition at all - it's the same 5e with different artwork and some tweaks." I think they'd count that as win not a loss.

Guess this all depends on what's eventually released.

IMO 5e works well, so I'm not going to leave it or fork over money for anything new unless and until I see strong evidence from early adopters that it works better than what I already have.

I'm the same way with adopting technology (much to the frustration of Microsoft).

I voted yes, although of course I have to see the product first and I will probably wait for a german translation (because I have a son who probably will be able to read it soon).
If it is not to my tastes, I will not buy it. Simple as that.

I voted yes but I am almost certainly to buy the PHB, just to see what is in it, if for no other reason. I am not so sure on the DMG. If it is really backward compatible then I might not )r maybe only the VTT version).
The MM, maybe but only for my active VTT campaigns. I do see me buying more physical monster books unless for some reason I get back into face to face gaming.

I voted yes, but in actuality it's just probably (I've bought the PHB for every other edition). We'll see what's what when there are some actual details regarding it.

Yea, my No was more of a probably not.

this is damn early for such a poll. I mean we know very little about the new edition, heck its not even finished yet. That's like asking me if I'm going to buy a 2023 Toyota before its even been made.

50e is important, and I will buy it no matter what.

Also, I expect the 50e to be awesome.

Yeah, the designers have about two more years before deciding the content for 50e.

It depends how good it is. I didn't buy 3.5, waited a year before buying 4e, and waited lots of years before waiting 5e (long enough for them to take Zak S and the RPG Pundit out of the acknowledgements).
