Wizards' Three Last Chances

For all that I like the core of 5e, it's fair to say that I've been less than impressed with a lot of what surrounds it - in particular, I've felt that the storyline books peaked a year ago and have gone backwards quite badly, I'm disappointed by the relative lack of support, and I'm particularly disappointed with the lack of support for Eberron and Dark Sun.

All of which means I'm thinking of giving up on the edition, or at least on the official releases for it, in favour of other options.

But I'll give it one last chance. "Volo's Guide to Monsters" has been out a couple of weeks, and is hopefully due to arrive from Amazon this week. I don't have high hopes for this book at all, but it might impress me. And if it does...

Actually, no, I'll give them two last chances. There's supposed to be a "major mechanical expansion" coming soon, probably next year. Maybe that will have the support I'm looking for?

Three! Three last chances: I'm not planning to buy any more of the storyline adventures set in the Forgotten Realms. However, at some point WotC might publish an adventure set in Eberron or Dark Sun (it's unlikely they'll do both in the next year or so). If they do so, I'll give that a go and see how it is.

But if none of those come to anything, it will be time to step away from this edition, just as I did with 4e. There's no foul there; it will just be that WotC won't be producing the game for me, and that's fine. All things considered, though, I kind of hope that it doesn't come to that!
