Please read what I read. I never said I was speaking for 'the' people. You added that. I was simply pointing out the fact that some people have been confused by the nomenclature. That's why there are so many threads about it. I hope we don't have to dispute that simple fact? Yes, and the OGL...

Yes, and it is also the source of the confusion. But calling it 'revised 5e' would have been even more accurate and transparent. They didn't want to stress that, though, because that wouldn't have had quite the splash. So we got more marketing spin like 'One D&D' and the 'next generation of...

Exactly. So, when you are announcing a new edition, you can coin and use words like 'Next'. But when you're just announcing revisions to an existing edition -- revisions which are allegedly minor enough that there is full backwards compatibility, and revisions which are so minor that you are...

Yes, and that's contributed to the confusion. Because 'D&D next' became a new edition, with a new number (5e). So when WotC says they're creating the 'next generation' of D&D, people will naturally think that means a new edition. Add to that the fact that we now know we cannot trust WotC and...

I think if they had just said, 'This is just a revision of 5e' it would have made it all clearer. Using terms like 'next generation' of D&D and 'One D&D' is just confusing things at this point. If it's just revised 5e, then just call it that.

I read that, and they talk about creating the 'next generation' of D&D. You don't think that naturally gets people thinking about a new edition? They seem to want to have their cake ('It's the next generation!') and eat it too ('It's the same game!'). Yes, that's the problem. It all sounds...

Thank you! So we can happily just keep referring to it as 5e?

So where exactly are we with what exactly these new books are? We were told we cannot call it 5e, nor 5.5e, nor 6e. But now it seems like they are saying it is just a revision of 5e. Jeremy Crawford literally said, 'This is NOT 5th editon or even 5.5. This is very important nuance.... ' What...

The best sourcebooks were still the 80s/90s MERP books from ICE. I'll die on this hill.

Let's call it Everything Everywhere All At Once... But don't dare call it 5e, 5.5, nor 6e!

He literally said, 'This is NOT 5th edition'. So if it isn't 5e, and it's not 5.5, and it's not 6e... what is it?

JERMY CRAWFORD: "Today we're going to focus more on what's coming in the core books, design goals, a revision of 5th edition ... "One D&D" was never supposed to be the name of the revised books. ... it's not a new edition and never was meant to be... This is NOT 5th editon or even 5.5. This is...

Looks nice. I am hoping though that you can remove the bases from the figures? I don't need them in a VTT.

I'm glad Gary never decided on a career as a film critic. Conan the Barbarian is far superior to The Sword and the Sorcerer.

Good sales somewhat raises my hope for what I really want: a Pathfinder 2E game. I know Owlcat is focused now on Warhammer, but hopefully somewhere down the line...

As a wise man once said, '...it is the doom of men that they forget.' Never forget that WotC has revealed its true alignment. They're not primarily interested in fostering a creative community. They are a business seeking to maximize profit for shareholders. That's fine, but when they do it in...

Sadly, this might be the best course, given how catastrophic Wizard's forays into computer games have been. I found the recent Dark Alliance game to be quite terrible, so if they were aiming for more of that, I'm glad they reconsidered. The obscure Tuque studios (a Hasbro subsidiary) was...

Might also have noted the release of the new edition of Rolemaster, Rolemaster Unified. They released the first book (Core Law) on DriveThruRPG on December 3rd. Rolemaster Core Law (RMU) - Iron Crown Enterprises | DriveThruRPG.com

Yes, Spell Law should be coming out shortly after the Core book, as it is already laid out. Treasure Law will be a bit further out. Unfortunately, there are no hard dates for those yet.

I'd still like to have the Str bonus though.
