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

[Argyle King]

I'm more likely to buy a 6e than a 5.5e.

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.

I think it will be interesting to remake this poll next year and then before the product comes out in 2024 and see how the results have changed over time.

Didn't vote, for lack of a "It's way too early to worry" option.
I feel about the next edition much the same way I feel about nigh constant political campaigning, and for similar reasons.

I bought every new edition and found that it was fine and fun to play, so I will buy this one even if the 'old' one is still fine and that I could still play for years on the modules and books from that edition.

Curious why you feel the undecided option doesn’t include that position?

To me, "Undecided" is something along the lines of "I haven't made up my mind yet, given what I know about the new edition."

My feeling is better expressed as "Anything we know about the new edition at this point is still completely speculative/unreliable, so I don't really have enough relevant info to even be honestly undecided."

Not sure if that distinction makes sense to anyone else, but that's how look at it this early on.

Eh, I probably won't. 5E is versatile enough to run just about any style of game I want to play, and easy enough to house-rule any changes that a "point-five" edition could present. Unless there are some vast and sweeping changes to the core mechanics of the game (I'm talking something drastic, like they drop the d20 and go with a 3d6 system), and unless I agree that those changes are for the better, I'll just keep playing 5E. And with all the talk about backwards-compatibility, "sweeping changes that I agree with" seems unlikely.

Since nothing I've seen so far warrants a completely new edition, 5th Edition will likely be my evergreen edition.

I haven't DMed D&D 5e for the last two years and don't plan to DM D&D anytime soon. I might buy it if I play in another DM's campaign.

 

[Composer99]

I'll probably buy the new PHB, if only because mine is falling apart (the binding issue). If the MM and DMG have quality of life improvements, them too.

I had to await a lot of years untile the core book were translated into Spanish. My D&D 5ed books are relatively new, and the last title translated into my language was Volo's guide of monsters. To spend my money I would rather other books to be translanted before.
