To be honest, I also just feel like my own takes on 5.1 or 5e2024 are rooted mostly in the community's need to identify them as...

AFAIK I never argued whether or not it was a "new game". It is a revision, which means that which is not the same as the previous thing...

I think you've lost the plot here. They are clearly not the same game or else there would not be a revision to talk about, and you admit...

That's true, I expect. But if they get DDB working "properly", it would probably not be terribly difficult to make a similar, even...

You're right, of course. But I could see a time when WotC realizes that they can (probably) make money off of selling us (anyone who is...
