Just don’t call it 6th Edition

Wow, what a cashgrab. I wish they’d just announce six already. We should totally buy Hasbro and carve out Wizards as a community

    Sucks for them, because I’ve moved over to Pathfinder after Hasbro tried to screw us and gutted WoTC. Most people I know have done the same too. They had plenty of opportunities to make it right and just kept rolling a 1 each and every time. Shame too because I love 5E

    I really stopped following all of the new rule changes after the SRD / OGL debacle. I will likely get the physical books but never the digital only. I’ll wait until they are all out though. Also what a terrible 3 book bundle you don’t save any money

      I’ll probably stick to 5e and switch to a different game once Hasbro forces DnDbeyond to disable 5e content. The only answer to enshittification is complete boycott.

        Hasbro forces DnDbeyond to disable 5e content

        Serious questions:

        Can you elaborate on this? Isn’t D&D just a book of rules, which can be used to the letter or changed per campaign? How would anyone force players to switch to another ruleset? Are they SWATing sessions and confiscating old rule books?

        I haven’t purchased any digital content and disabled by dndbeyond account. Also haven’t purchased and physical books since the OGL. We are in the midst of a years long 5e campaign so we will have to discuss changes together as a group.

        I genuinely enjoy the 5e system so I am torn. But if I get physical books I can keep them forever. So who knows

    I don’t know where the idea that WotC is worth saving keeps coming from. These are the MTG people. It’s a shock that monsters, NPCs, items, and feats aren’t purchased via booster pack.

    D&D isn’t a game, nor is it a community. It’s just a brand. We can let it go.

    I’ll be honest, the playtest was handled so badly and most of the changes were so lazy, that I lost all the interest in getting the new rulebooks. Not that I had any to begin with, after the OGL shitstorm.

    I created revised options for the base 5e classes to play with my friends, and I’m having a lot of fun that way. I’ll pirate legally obtain these new books down the line if it becomes necessary, but me and my friends are accustomed to homebrew everything, so I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

    I know right? Paying $5/year for a hobby that I get tons of enjoyment out of is ridiculous. How dare they make money off of their work!
