Sorry, my rant was semi-related: I mean the upcoming digital D&D app that Wizards of the Coast expects players to use. Isn't it crazy that they expect to sell you DLC for online avatars for a game that happens in your imagination? > Obviously you need rulebooks Yes. > campaign modules Unlike the rulebook, these are nice but not mandatory. And if you're crafty, you can derive inspiration from other fantasy worlds, books, novels and movies. I do understand not everybody is creative enough or wants to spend time doing this though; I also understand some people value a "shared world" they can discuss with other players beyond their group. > Or do you mean they should just stop playing DnD when WotC pulls this crap? At some point, yes. I mean, there are plenty of other awesome RPGs to play, right? You are not locked-in to D&D in the same sense many people are locked-in to Windows.
