Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 9431476" data-attributes="member: 7006">The fact that WotC has not given us an "official " term, and every single other player out there uses a term different from everyone else is all we need to know about what's going to happen.Nothing will stick, we will all just use whatever nomenclature we wish, and after probably a year from release no one will be really talking about 5E14 anymore (because everything needing to be said about it has been said over an entire decade thus far). Thus when people make comments about D&D core rules in this thread everyone will know it's regarding these 5E24 books, no description necessary.Hell, we already have dozens upon dozens of folks here that all claim they aren't going to switch to 5E24, and yet still post in this thread as it's about the most recent version of D&D. Are they going to move all their comments going forward about 5E14 to the 'Older editions' forum once the revised books release, even as they continually claim 5E24 is a "new edition" and thus all their talk about the older books they stick with SHOULD move over there?Of course they won't. Because in order to be part of the current zeitgeist of D&D they will talk in this thread even though it will be all about the version of D&D they supposedly aren't playing. Which of course means they probably WILL switch over sooner than later just so they can keep up with the current conversation... at which point it REALLY won't matter what the version is called, because everyone will know which version of D&D we're talking about.</blockquote>
