D&D 5E Will you buy the new Gift Set with Monsters of the Multiverse?

[Li Shenron]

No. I have Volo and Xanathar. I hated Tasha. I'd rather buy Mordenkainen than the combined crunch-only MotU.

Down to $120.66 direct from prime... which makes me feel good for me but bad for the LGSs.

Eh you got it four dollars and some change less than me. They still get their money.

 

[Weiley31]

Mine is shipped and on its way!

Voted May. I have Xanathar's/Tasha's, but a book that's predominantly crunch is much easier to use than the half lore/half crunch of Volo's/Mordenkainen's.

There's a very high probability that someone in our gaming group - most likely me! - will buy it when it's available on D&D Beyond, but it's also very likely that at least one of us will buy the standalone book, too.

I already have the originals, and not interested in the changes.

If they'd put out a book with monsters that haven't been published yet for 5E - especially if they were from 1E/2E/3E - I'd be ready to snap that up.

Looks like I agree with a lot of folks here.

Like @Maxperson said, I might buy the new monsters book--physical or digital--in May if I like what I see in it. Because like @Parmandur said, I already have Volo's and Mordenkainen's (and Wildemount, and Eberron, and...). and like @jmartkdr2 and @Ruin Explorer, I don't really care about "gift sets."

And slightly off-topic, I'm not terribly excited about a 2024 product release. I appreciate the hype but I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm a bit...lest I believe one rumor too many, build it up too much in my mind, and end up disappointed. I mean, we've heard this song before.

 

[GreyLord]

Well, I'm buying it so...that's another getting the set.

I do not have the other two books and only thumbed through them some at the store. The new book- I'm sure that we will have dozens of threads picking at the changes to see if they are worth it and I can wait until May to decide. I will likely just wait until the 2024 updates though.
