[QUOTE="eyeheartawk, post: 8983282, member: 6727715"] I'm using the royal "we" I, and I think everybody on this forum would be well aware of the differences. But like, not even having different covers (other than the, presumably, limited alt cover) and no differentiating text on the cover will create confusion and a non-optimal play experience. I'm mainly speaking on behalf of the newer, less informed people. Say it's your first game in 2024 of D&D ever, your brother gives you the PHB and you think you're good to go. You're excited, you show up and whoops you have a completely different version of the book that has a bunch of new stuff and changed stuff. Why let that happen? Just write "2024 revision" on the cover or something. If you're going to go through and make a bunch of changes over a public multi-year process to revise the books in 2024, maybe you know, mark that on the book so people know? Your average new player isn't really going to know to look for this page count or new art to tell them apart or hunt for the small text in the credits. That's all I'm saying. [/QUOTE]
