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.

    The company doesn’t care if you’re happy, they care that you’re going to spend money. Most people don’t have the self control to not pay attention to the hype and the delay makes people talk about the product. The delayed gratification only makes you want it more as now you have to wait and think about how you don’t have the thing that you want.
