D&D (2024) 6/6 news scoop!: Wizards announces "6X" for 2026! Not one, but six "expressions" of tabletop roleplay! [parodia filum]

Folks, see the forest for the trees. There is a certain kind of joyousness about this - a big umbrella approach that literally supports every play style, and every product ever made.

I mean, it is sort of the 1e DMG of edition speculation. While much of it is absurdly unwieldy, there's lots of great ideas to mine here (like the 1e DMG) for the stray WotC staffer that might wander through.

Maybe that could be called Onefold?

Oh dear god, I thought this was real for a moment and felt my stomach drop at the thought of D&D encroaching even more upon the RPG space.

 

[Sword of Spirit]

I've pretty much been officially left behind now, even in fake announcements. All I want is to stick with 5.0, and somehow I can't have that even with a proposed big umbrella tactic supporting all versions of D&D.

Our group is playtesting the 6F and 6U rules, and we are loving it!
All we can say is: Well done Wizards of the Coast!

 

[Dungeonosophy]

There are some savvy newshounds here!

Is this real or a joke?

It's not real.

On the other hand, given its utter lack of anything resembling wit or humor, I can't imagine how anyone would mistake it for a joke.

This gave me serious flashbacks of the late 90s, both with TSR throwing everything against the wall (seriously, I love Birthright, but those domain sourcebooks were a waste) and Marvel Comics flooding the market with #1 issues and foil comics and constant crossovers.

I heard that based on recent feedback, Wizards will be supporting that format: Sixfold Solo (6S).
