D&D 5E Can D&D Next Unite Fans of Different Editions? I think there is some hope now.

[Li Shenron]

Has it been mentioned by Mearls or others, whether the 5e core books will feature guidelines/suggestions on what modules to use, how to set what dials, or what character choices to make, in order to recreate the "feel" of specific older editions?

I probably shouldn't bit, but I will. Why was the D&D movie that I saw in a movie theatre (the bad movie with Jeremy Irons) not a D&D movie?

For the same reason there was only one Highlander movie. Yes, ONLY ONE. To contemplate anything else would be madness.

You can say it all you want,doesn't make it true ...

A great excercise in brand and story reboot ... Definitely a lesson in there

Wait - there was a second Highlander movie?

NO!

Ahem, no. No there wasn't. Nuh-uh. Nope. Not at all. Nein. Nyet. Non. For the love of Mike, no!

NO!

Ahem, no. No there wasn't. Nuh-uh. Nope. Not at all. Nein. Nyet. Non. For the love of Mike, no!

Well, I would certainly hope not. There can be only one!

A second Highlander movie would be an unthinkable abomination.

I understand that in a nearby parallel universe there was a TV adaptation. But this may just be a rumor.

I have heard tale that the TV show doesn't utterly suck, unlike the way any potential second or even third movie obviously would.

The original remark about there being no D&D move was in the context of marketing.

Whether or not one thinks it's a good movie (personally I don't) it clearly had "Dungeons and Dragons" as its title, and hence counts as a theatrical release linked to the D&D brand.

5.... 8 if you include the animated movies .... 9 if you include "reboot" which is in negotiation ....
