Some people are getting upset and all in arms of the latest
edition coming to d&d
My group of 12 has mixed feelings as well. Two people said
they were not going to buy any new books.
This is an outright lie and you know it; we've been playing
D&D for roughly 12-16-20 years.
We've played every edition of D&D, we've played WoD,
Shadowrun, M&M, Chill and many other games.
We are going to play the next edition because that’s what we
do.
It’s a Money Grab
I find a hard time believing D&D makes money to the eyes
of Hasbro, and perhaps that’s part of the problem. D&D is a game of passion,
created by those who are passionate about it. Controlled by those who need to
balance the books.
Personally as a veteran player and DM I can only see us
buying the core books, no campaign books or anything. And with the DDI
character builder, i have no need to buy any class books.
As a group of 12, I can see us buying maybe 9 books in
total, and that’s all we will ever need.
My point is if you’re worried about the edition wars, don't
be. Just keep playing with your group and have fun; because that’s what D&D
is all about.
Until next time keep your dice on the table.

I agree. If you not buying new edition books, you're buying more and more material from the current edition. We're not really spending much more money in the long run. We also tend to share most of the material. Some folks buy their own copy of the core books and a few choice books, while others just share and borrow the literature - that's just the nature of the beast.
ReplyDeleteWe'll get over it, just like we got over 4E.
I agree wholeheartedly! Edition WARS are silly and rather childish, and suck a lot of fun from the game.
ReplyDeleteMy group shares a lot of books- I think the core books and niche books are the only ones that have multiple copies floating around.
