[QUOTE="Alby87, post: 8310829, member: 7031244"] I'm not a big rule expert, but this is how I would offer the 5.5e. One thing should be clear: common people just loves this game, many follow many streaming sessions because they start to know the rules. If you try a way like "A TOTALLY NEW VERSION", you'll probably fail. So, the idea, for me, should be: 1) PHB REVISED A revised book which superseed the actual PHB. - Classes and "races" should be balanced and upgraded on what the WOTC learned on these years, bringing them to level with Xanathar's and Tasha's. - Spells and Rules should be updated on the form, no changes at all, only more clarity. 2) ACERERAK'S GUIDE TO MASTERING A book that's a DMG companion, not a substitute, with more "optional" crunch such as dungeoning and wilderness trips, advanced rest rules, encounter building for less or more adventorous day, summaries with just small description of all the monsters published in MM, VOLO and Mordenkainen. A guide to build encounter for tier 4, with advices on make challenging depending on the party (have fireball prone wizard? Use this! No Rogue? Use that!) And small narrative advice part, a condensed version of Return of Lazy DM book, for example. People will not feel that they book are useless: people can still play the original PHB if they want, but they know a new PHB is there, and sometimes they should buy it. Without any pressure. DMs will not feel also their books are useless, they are perfectly compatible, and having a book dedicated to them that just upgrade to 5.5e in a slow way (you can still play 5e with just the new rest system, for example). There a lot of ways to manage the trasiction to a revision of the game without angering the fan base :) [/QUOTE]
