Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9432044" data-attributes="member: 6801228">WoTC has said it is not a new edition. WoTC has never called it a new edition. WoTC has repeatedly said it is the same edition. WoTC has specifically stated it is backwards compatible and a rules revision, not a new edition. WoTC has clearly labeled and marketed the books as the revised 2024 rules for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. WoTC has said they don't want people to think this is a new editin, because then they will think their old books are useless, and they are not. Sure, fans are not under a legally enforceable obligation to follow the company line. But considering there are "fans" that have been calling WoTC liars and demanding that we all acknowledge the "clear and obvious" fact that this is REALLY 6th edition and WoTC is lying to us so that we will keep buying new books that will clearly be worthless in a few months, and have been doing this since the rules revision was ANNOUNCED and we had not seen a single change to the rules.... Well, I'm under no legally enforceable obligation to follow THEIR company line either. And since I can take my Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and seamlessly add the Tiger and Elk from the Totem Warrior optional feature into the 2024 Wildheart barbarian... pretty sure it cannot be a new edition, in the way that TSR and WoTC have used the term "edition" for the past 50 years.</blockquote>
