Edition Wars are good for Enworld!

[MichaelSomething]

Enworld has always been tested. Conflict and war is the crucible through which we evolve. Every battle makes us stronger. Those who fall will be forgotten. Those who rise up? Their names will be remembered forever.

I mean, it started as the 3E edition wars main front.

7e is going to rock, you wait- or hope we are not dead. Man, I'll be like 75 when that comes out.

It was the great edition wars of 2040 that really did a number on the planet. Warring factions decimated the landscape worldwide. Unlike previous wars it wasn't so much the humans fighting that caused the devastation, it was the AIs and the corporate mergers of the previous decades - as the AIs trained to be entertainers by Apple-Disney-TacoBell-Raytheon, Amazon-MGM-CarlsJr-Boeing, and Meta-Paramount-CocaCola-NorthrupGrumman all took different sides in the edition wars, they took over the defense manufacturing side of their respective companies and began cranking out drones and robot soldiers programmed to slaughter anyone who voiced support for their respective "wrong" editions. Soon nothing was left on the surface but robots fighting robots.

And that's why we've built this time machine. We need to send you back to 2023 to make sure that the edition Wizards of the Coast is working on in that time includes a Warlord class. Our scientists have determined that this small change will prevent the edition wars from ever occurring...

Edition debates? Maybe, and that grudgingly. Edition war? Sorry, people getting that into it, putting down what others enjoy, is not a good thing for a forum.

You're "every battle makes us stronger" rhetoric is very individualistic. A group divided and then half leaves is not stronger. Even the "winning" half is weaker. Stop with the jingo.

Edition debates? Maybe. Edition war? No.

New Edition? H. E. Double Hockey Sticks. YES!

"Forget the power of point-buy and multiclassing, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and game styles, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the editions, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting Hasbro employees."

One of us needs to adjust our sarcasm detector.
