[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8983293, member: 7006"] The first playtest came out in September, which means you would have seen actual material you could look at for almost 2 years prior to the assumed release date in mid-to-late 2024 (probably around GenCon if I had to make a guessimate). But they announced they were going to revise the books even before that, which means stuff was going to be revised-- stuff we already knew about based on the revisions we have already seen in previous UAs as well as Tasha's et. al. But if you just want to quibble over my use of "2 and a half years"... that's fine. We can "revise" my post to say "2 years" or "18 months". No skin off my nose. But that doesn't change the actual meat of the post. WotC says they are revising 5E and not making a 5.5E or 6E. And people accept that or don't accept that based entirely on their [I]own personal opinion[/I] of how much a game can get revised or edited or errata'd before they don't consider it the "same game" and instead think it's a "new game" that requires WotC to tell people that on the front of the book that it's a "new game" so that "new players don't get confused".
