The last time WotC substantially changed some D&D mechanics was 4e. That worked out well for Paizo. How did it work out for WotC...

Either you're fretting about the names of things or you don't know how easy it is to make (and publish) an exact replica of a yuan-ti or...

If you write Baldur's Gate into your Pathfinder or GURPS or whatever game, no one is going to call the cops on you. You can even call...

This is exactly the disaster that WotC is trying to avoid at all costs. I don't think you can make reasonable predictions while...

Yeah, I don't think it's invalid to play that way --- it's certainly interesting if nothing else --- but I thought it funny that you...

I think in this approach (which I like, at least in some contexts), to answer your subsequent question, it's not that there are no...

I cynically think all D&D books are going to become mere collectors' items, but that's neither here nor there; I'd probably pick up a...

Exactly. And this forum is an extreme outlier in terms of the number of folks still regularly playing old versions of D&D, OSR, etc...
