D&D General Kobold Press Going Down a Dark Road

[Bolares]

I'm baffled by the "no playtest is better than any playtest" take....

I'm actually more confused right now then I have been since you just called it a new edition, but okay we can leave it here

you are confused because they say ‘new game’ when you would say ‘new edition’ and ‘new edition’ where you would say ‘new revision’ or ‘new version’ or something like that - I think

The point they were making is that D&D has not been using the term edition consistently, 1e/2e are compatible, 3e and 3.5 are, 4e and essentials are, 5e and 1DD are, regardless of what was called a new edition and what was not

Yeah... This is one of the main reasons I'm happy they say they are moving away form using editions as identifiers for updates to the game. I'm reeeeeally tired of the whole discussion about classifying editions.

but wee both look at the playtest and see (for our own reasons) what so far looks like a new edition... so we agree on what is going on even if we disagree on how we got here.

yeah that is working so well... we discuss if it is or not at least 1 thread a month

This is like Pepsi claiming their drinks are cool and refreshing. Everybody's drinks are.

I'm hoping for a better future, because the present is doomed...
