I mean what DM-focused pitches have been given for 5.5e? Bastions? A few new monster designs? Compare to the constant communication on class buffs.-A lot of the pro 5.5e comments have been more focused on "looking forward to play these new classes!" while the negative comments seem more focused on "looks like it adds a lot to the DM's plate."Again all very subjective except the second point. There are a lot more players than DMs and WotC wants every player to buy a new PHB while there just doesn't seem to have been almost any effort on the part of WotC to pitch 5.5e to DMs.I mean are we even getting a 5.5e new adventure path? I'm sure we will but I haven't heard anything. Doesn't seem to be a priority..You CONSTANTLY get people complaining about how hard it is to find DMs and DMs complaining about how they can never play since nobody else they know will DM on more casual D&D discussion spaces like Reddit. This is something that I'm pretty confident about.</blockquote>
