[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9377163, member: 23751"] This is wrong. They can publish what they name D&D, but they have no ability whatsoever to determine what D&D is to me. There have been 5 different editions, as well as BECMI that have all been different. And those are only the 5 so far. There were be more versions of D&D, plus all the different D&Ds that we the players have made. Every edition of D&D, EVERY SINGLE ONE, has been designed in such a way that it remains D&D despite all the changes DMs make to it. One of the design goals of D&D is for players to make the game their own version of D&D through changes, rulings, third party products, etc. D&D is designed to be changed and remain D&D. Just like they have no ability whatsoever to determine what D&D is to me, neither do you. You can't be right if you tell me that my altered version, and I house rule the crap out of every edition that I play, is another game. You can only tell me that it doesn't seem like D&D to YOU. Non-existent. We each have our own individual lines and the company doesn't draw one. We can say what feels like D&D to us, but not what is or is not D&D for someone else. And that's fair. You get to determine what feels like D&D to you Unfortunately, every edition or half edition like 5.5e does just that. There are significant changes in the upcoming PHB, DMG and MM. They also continually change rules as time goes on. See Tasha's, Xanathar's and other books that make modifications to the rules. What you are asking for isn't something that D&D has ever been. TSR published changes to rules, additions to systems, etc. and so does WotC. WotC has also embraced 3rd party additions/changes to the game. [/QUOTE]
