Anthony said: Specifically after the release of the 2024 PHB (and subsequently the 2024 DMG)? (assumed we pre-ordered the books) Will our campaigns be automatically updated? Will our characters, their feats, spells, etc. be updated? Are we able to access the new content from an existing campaign, or do we have to convert it somehow? Or do we have to start a new campaign with the new rules? Will it be something weird where the compendium gets overwritten with 2024 content, but we can't access new character content without opting in to the new character sheets? Etc. Basically I have a long-running campaign and I'm trying to understand exactly how it's going to affect that since I don't expect it will finish before September. I've been searching posts but I haven't been able to find any kind of detailed information. Thanks for any info. Hey Anthony! I can address each of these one by one: Will our campaigns be automatically updated? No, you can continue to play with the old character sheets on D&D 2014 as long as you'd like. Will our characters, their feats, spells, etc. be updated? No, same as above. Are we able to access the new content from an existing campaign, or do we have to convert it somehow? Or do we have to start a new campaign with the new rules? You will be able to access all 2024 content on all your current games, although the functionality will be limited compared to the new sheet. Will it be something weird where the compendium gets overwritten with 2024 content, but we can't access new character content without opting in to the new character sheets? No compendium data is being overwritten. All the original D&D5e content will still be there and accessible. More broadly, you won't be required to convert anything in order to use the new content in September. You can keep playing 5e as long as you'd like, and mix and match the new rules as needed into your existing campaign. When you're ready, we'll have tools available to convert sheets and campaigns to the new content. A lot of this and more is also addressed in our D&D 2024 FAQ !
