More thoughts... Reverse 5e? Revived/Raised/Resurrected 5e? Rockin' 5e? Radical 5e? Randomized 5e? Reduced 5e? or... Rotor-5 Engine? Robot 5 Exists? (i.e. the number five is alive edition) Righting 5 Errors? Did I hit the mark yet? :)

5e has come, and peaked, and gone; and the book is now mostly closed on it. 5.5e's peak is most likely yet to come.

Were anyone to approach under such a misapprehension they would quickly find themselves corrected, either by me/us or by their own research into our system or both. This would - both in theory and in practice - occur before said person/people even got to the stage of being invited in.

Punch and eye, more like, if they don't capitulate quietly. :)

General, all day long.

Personally, I don't see any of this as that much of a problem. One of the prime considerations already when jumping to another table these days is what system - never mind what houserules - they're using, so this feels like you're just taking that which has been the case since D&D was invented...

One more keystroke to type, two more syllables to say and-or think (or three if one sees 5.5 as just "five-five"). For ease of speech and thought, the fewer syllables the better.

In a store it makes sense to have it be a single-edition environment as that's the version you're trying to sell. Most of us - including this forum as a whole which covers all versions of D&D - aren't in that environment, and often do want and-or need to specify which edition or version we're...

Given that 6e will likely IMO come out in 2031, it lasting unrevised until 2052 seems like one hell of a stretch. Even 2042 seems too long. 2037-ish for the revised ".5" version, maybe 2039 if 6.0e proves highly successful.

That's fine. While we've charge forward to get our coup going we leave the Cloud of Paper Daggers behind us, and now the bureaucrats have to deal with it. Benefits all round!

As we charge forward in a disorganized mass, someone accidentally-on-purpose knocks the wheelbarrow over when it's next to a puddle....

That's what henches and hirelings are for, dummy!

Yeah, so isn't it just more efficient to skip everything else and just jump straight to the "we all go our own way" piece? :)

Plan? Organized? Those words and concepts have no place in this coup! Onwards, chaotic neutrals!!! :)

In the initial books up to and including MMII, yes; and the jettison-modification process is relatively straightforward. After that, however, in subsequent books (UA, OA, DSG, WSG, etc.) the signal-noise ratio gets much worse and the challenge becomes more one of finding and extracting the bits...

I try to give each character a distinctive voice and-or accent. I say "try" because after a few beer the accent and voice often start to regress to my own. And to echo @humble minion 's point, I too think it adds to the game. And I'm pretty hard to embarrass... :)

This calendar year???? Hell, when I saw the options I thought you were asking about this calendar month! (for me, that'd be 30-40 now, 40-50 by month end). This assumes DMing a game also counts as playing.

TSR ran it into the ground 30 years ago and yet here it is, still chuggin' along. If WotC does manage to run D&D into the ground there's exactly zero doubt that someone will come along and revive it or, if necessary, reboot it from scratch. in fact, the biggest problem would probably be too...

And this doesn't account for the observed fact that 1e Monster Manuals, when left on a hidden bookshelf at a DM's home, can and will self-replicate. Put one somewhere where you can't see it and two weeks later when you look there will be two or three of them. Every time. Try it. You'll see. :)
