I'm running a newly created campaign (2 sessions yet), and my players asked, if they should check the new contents, or am I planning to migrate to the PHB 2024 edition.

Any thoughts? Are you guys planning to move?

You shouldn’t need to rewrite anything for your world with the new rules. It’s 99% mechanic updates.

It rebalances the classes, martials v. magic users etc.

I’d say I liked the changes, and I think it makes sense to just allow the players to use the changed classes according to their wish (you have to use the whole class tho, base+sub). And if you like them, use the updated rules for magic, weapons etc. Weapon mastery is p cool.

But like it doesn’t take a full conversion, you can take just some of the updated rules as they fit into your playstyle, world and desires.
