So the 2024 Players Handbook (PHB) is set to release in September. I’ve already bought and paid for the book. In fact I get early access in early September.

However a bunch of YouTube and other folks got the books much earlier and the embargo for them to talk about it lifted in early August.

So now I have to learn piecemeal how the new rules work. I have to hope whatever YouTube video I watch got the rules right. My only reference is random videos.

Luckily someone did write down a rough outline at https://rpgbot.net/2024-dnd-5e-transition-guide-and-change-log-everything-thats-different-in-the-new-players-handbook/

Anyone else find this to be bullshit? It’s like Christmas morning for “influencers” but my gifts arrive in a month.

In short if folks know of a good copy of the 2024 PHB I’d love to read it.

    Yeah, DnD is easily the worst game I’ve ever played, ran, or read. By such a huge margin it isn’t even funny. Even vampire 5th edition is better.

    Speaking of vampire, World of Darkness 20th edition is my personal recommendation for a better game. It’s actually simple, unlike 5e, and is actually designed for roleplay, unlike 5e. Maybe exalted if someone wants more fantasy and combat.
