[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 9430274, member: 27252"] Simply not true. A new edition could simply mean a few corrections. I have Call of Cthulhu 1st through to 7E and the first 6 editions had barely any changes at all, with the 7E requiring about half a page of conversion notes. The same is true of multiple games and books of all types. All "edition" refers to is a particular form of a book or game that, over time, has multiple forms of that book or game. It is simply a term used to differentiate publications. It is misleading to [I]not[/I] describe whatever you want to call this new.....erm....thing....as a new edition. The changes [I]are[/I] substantial. And beyond any of this, as people here have stated, nobody really [I]cares [/I]what to call it. However, WotC demanding and admonishing people for daring to call it a new edition is all that that is making this an issue. They are making (another) controversy out of nothing. [/QUOTE]
