My original prediction was that it would be a slightly reworked version of 5e with new layout, tweaked main classes and added subclasses and new art. A complete refresh top to bottom and I was right. There isn't enough to call it a new edition, at least in comparison to when WOTC releases a new core rulebook since every time it's either been a MAJOR overhaul like 3.5 or an entirely different game ala 4e and 5e. This is still very much 5e as I originally predicted but cleaned up, reorganized and easier to understand and navigate. Where I can say I was wrong is that as the playtest went on it seemed like it was going to be more 3.5 than BX-BECMI. This is very much a 5.2 with Tasha's and MoM being a 5.1.What I am more irritated by though is that MoM, FIzban's & Bigby's are supposed to be forward compatible with the revision but looking at the revised monsters I am not 100% sure HOW they are forward compatible.Will I upgrade when we go back to 5e? ehhhh maybe. I love Mordenkainen and Volo's and they HAVE been updated but with the MoM not looking as forward compatible I am not sure. It's just information but the changes to mechanics could squeak this off my list for a while. I may run my ToEE with just the 2014 version.</blockquote>
