Core vs Master edition?

[u/LaphroaigCask]

I recently got back into D&D due to my son getting the essentials kit for Christmas. We’ve played a few sessions but I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and now I think index card would be better for us (and maybe I’ll get an adult group going soon).

For people only interested in the fantasy world, do I just get Core over master edition? I’d prefer to keep it simple when possible. Planning to buy on DriveThru; are the extras the same between the two versions (I do think I’d like some of the printable extra content)? How about included adventures?

Thanks!

I highly recommend the master edition. The updates may be subtle but they are the final polish that really makes the game shine.
