Up until last year, it was roughly 80%, but due to racist incident #3? the god-awful quality of Spelljammer, weird organisational mess of the modules and some frankly shockingly bad writing therein...  compound that with OGL/debacle.  I'm done.  I own enough to run games and I'm just doing this one last campaign and I'm done with D&D.  Time for another system, plough some time into moving away from fantasy systems entirely I think.

Although I bought the digital version of the latest bunch of adventures (which are really good), i did it because I wanted to see if I could stretch beyond my usual stuff and adapt them for the next campaign (and I am doing that).

But in my course of following the goal of making the game work the way my players and I want, we are moving very much out of the "normal 5e stuff".  The issues with racism, ableism, the sad way that folks tend to be all hating on one system in favor of others, and more is all stuff we have dealt with in some cases since 1e in our own ways. 

Which means I am less likely to buy the next round of core books -- because we are basically creating our own set of them. our use of optional rules already had wrecked the "basic value" of the site in terms of character creation (we use spell points and sanity, to name just two of the many, many optional rules that are unsupported here), and at this point the 30 or so of us in our groups are fine using either my account or one of the three others for the books and so forth here.

This is not a "no chance" -- I don't know. I haven't seen what the DM's guide is like, or what they will change about monsters. But the PHB is probably out the window. some of the kids like all the subclasses, but most of us (say, 28 to 60 years old) are fonder of class structures we cannot kitbash on here and so are moving in a different direction.  We don't use any published setting and never have. I bought SCAG for the useful ideas, but  most of them were "meh". Eberron was great -- it was what gave me a way to put the requested "robot maids" into the game, lol.

But my skyships aren't eberron skyships -- so we still have to create all the maps and plans and drawings and all of that from scratch ourselves -- but I buy that stuff for the ways to do it, like a basic template. Same with the monster books -- I still don't have the MM here, but I do have the MMM. it helps us see what we want to do. 

With the CC license, we also feel a lot better about being able to share our hard work. We aren't looking to make money off it, just to let others see it if they want. You divide 18 cents a copy among 30 people, lol. hell, even if we did it to get a buck, we ain't gonna give no one a run for their money.

We have to play virtually -- we are scattered across three states, and only two are next to each other. Soon to be four, not counting the ones going off to college. We invested in stuff to do that and have been testing different systems and such -- and honestly, even the possible addition of a VTT here doesn't excite me (unreal engine and all) despite being able to do my own modeling and all that. Because the rest of the system gets in the way. We are basically going to end up on Owlbear Rodeo and asking Zoom to add more features (or Teams, because one group uses that) and all of this means that other places -- Roll20, Worldanvil, DDB -- are going to lose our business not because they have a bad model...

... but because they have a model that meets the most generic needs of the greatest number of people. Lowest common denominator in a game that emphasizes not being such, lol.

And yet, we love D&D, ad what we will play will be D&D, and after 40 years, we are still going to buy stuff that works for us -- but maybe not in hardcover anymore if 50 bucks is the cost, lol.

And that is where DDb can be useful. Piecemeal is an incredible value. but the rest, well, we'll see.
