Winner for what I will call the new edition/revision/update/refresh/new core books/5.5e/5e2024/etc. -- Corporate D&D.

How many voted for only "problems with Hasbro/WotC" though? I think with most people it's multiple issues

Biggest thing: Hasbro/WotC foolishness, current direction of the game, and the direction where they seemingly want to take it (big focus on digital) Also not currently running 5e, have moved on to other systems/games: OSE, Shadowdark. I still want to try DCC and I did Kickstart DC20. I have to...

I enjoyed Remix alot and I also hope they do it with other past expansions. I don't pvp but I tried Plunderstorm and hated it.

.5?

Hey, maybe they should name it Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2024!

Having a Dragon Magazine sub back then was the best.

The drama is strong here. Look, if you feel that expressing an opinion, or prediction of what is or what might be (which could be proven wrong, time will tell) is "spreading misinformation or fear mongering" I can't stop you. Your position here seems to be Wizards says 2024 is not a new edition...

Oh give me a break. Let's just say with Hasbro/WotC I'm a bit skeptical of what they say and do these days. I never said everything they say and do is a lie, stop it. But face it they have kept stepping in dog poo fairly often the last couple years to warrant folks' mistrust. And please, people...

If Wizards says it's not a new edition then we should believe them because Hasbro/Wizards has been such a trustworthy corporation over the last couple years, right? All of us here know why they won't call it a new edition - to keep selling the current 5E books. I see that Grim Hollow is about...

If you are not generalizing but maybe quoting me then quote what I actually said "If the reviewer with 15+ years as a professional game designer thinks it's a new edition his opinion will carry more weight with me over others who are not."

I thought that was the issue. Apologies if it wasn't. However, this is my answer to those who feel Wizards has "done enough to make a distinction",

If grandma goes into a store to buy the "new" book and sees both the 2014 PHB and the 2024 PHB, she might buy the wrong one. Especially if she doesn't take the time to read the back of both books. I don't know the exact wording on the back cover of the new book if it says "revised or updated for...

Yes, they will most likely sell a lot more on Amazon. But wouldn't it also be helpful to put that red banner on the front cover of the actual book? For clarity sake? I know all of us here know the distinction but there will be many out there who don't. Again - newbies, parents, non-gamers, etc...

This thread is getting nasty...

Really? Sorry I didn't specify FRONT cover. When I said "cover" most everyone would think front cover.

That was my point as well. Not only for newbies but parents and grandparents, non-hobby friends buying as a gift.

With Chris Cocks saying they "are going all in on digital", hiring new WotC prez from Blizzard, looking for/hiring Monetization Experts and AI Experts I am not going to follow the path that they are heading. Don't fool yourselves if their VTT is a smash success you will see new adventure books...

Just so it would be clear to everyone. I know it's the new book. They did it with 3/3.5

should have put in on the front cover of the book, too
