[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9278996, member: 7006"] At the end of the day, everyone's going to just keep using whatever terminology they want. Right now since we are still in playtest mode, I identify the current game as '5E14' and the upcoming game as '5E24'. Once the new version gets released later this year, I'll have little reason to distinguish the two anymore since I do not foresee me needing to talk about the 2014 books. Thus I'll talk about 'D&D' and '5E', both in reference to the new version of the game that is being released by WotC this fall. If I ever have to reference the old version, I'll probably call it '5E14' or '2014' as necessary. I also will identify any other product that uses the 5E engine for their game-- either because it is a supplement to WotC's D&D 5E game, or because it is a new game that uses the engine for ease-of-use-- as their actual product names, rather than call them a part of '5E'. As far as I identify it... '5E' is Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, and that's all. Any other products do not fall under the term '5E', even if the makers of those products wish it to be considered that way. If a company uses '5E' as part of their product name-- like Level Up: Advanced 5E-- I'm fine using '5E' as part of the shortened version of the name (so 'A5E' for instance). But if I ever use '5E' by itself, it'll only be in reference to WotC's current Dungeons & Dragons game. Others will make their own choices and do what they do as well. And if any of our terminology usages confuse people... then they can either ask for clarification or can remain confused. No skin off of any of our noses. [/QUOTE]
