D&D (2024) You're not planning on getting 2024 D&D? Why is that?

It just doesnt look to be improving anything that actually appeals to me.

I still prefer 3.5 to 5e and 5e has given me a greater appreciation for 4e, its overall a mediocre system

plus there is so much new stuff out there that just makes for better games

Other: no Mearls, Burlew, or Marmell (that I know of).

only one of them (Mearls) ever worked on 5e I believe, so it should mostly be that one, or 5e just never was for you

I am concerned that the 50th Anniversary edition of Dungeons and Dragons has nowhere to go given that it is backwards compatible with 5th edition. Or, rather, I'm concerned about where it will go.

For instance, will we get a 5.5 edition Volo's-guide-type book with new monsters and cool new species to play? But, 5.5 is backwards compatible, and we already have a Volo's Guide. Will the options in a 5.5 edition by slightly more powerful than what we find in a 5th edition book?

Or, instead, will we get books about things that we never knew we wanted? Maybe a whole book on crafting, or a whole book on fantasy world economics and running a business as a character. Or maybe a book on the social game with politics, diplomacy, and intrigue.

What about the Curse of Strahd? Will there be a 5.5 version?

What books do you think we will get 5 or 6 years from now?

I voted "Other Concerns," but it's not really a concern per se: I'm just not interested in it. (shrug) I already have 5E and all the supplements, so the 2024 books will be of little use to me.

I would have voted for the last poll option if you had included 5E in the list.

Alack, I cannot edit existing questions in a poll, apologies! Your point is well taken.

Cerilla 2024 (Birthright Updated would be awesome and might actually get me interested )

and Curse of Strahd isnt the only worthy Ravenloft Product - the Evil Eye or Castle Forlorn would be cool updates

Oh yeah, maybe a book on campaigns and how to build worlds/legendary campaigns! With a bunch of material on various possible campaigns similar to Van Richten's. I'd buy that.

I was planning to buy at least the PHB, but what I have seen has made me realize I'd rather cobble together my own Vanity Frankenstein 5E instead. It is more fun and neither of my groups are anywhere near close to completing our current games - so I have plenty of time to do so.

You either die a GM, or live long enough to see yourself become a designer.
