Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaosmancer" data-source="post: 9435348" data-attributes="member: 6801228">I can call a Nintendo Switch a Playstation. I can call a Toyota a Ford. I can call Pathfinder DnD. I would be wrong in those instances, but I could do it. You can say that the revised 2024 rules for Dungeons and Dragongs 5th edition is really Sixth edition. But you have no leg to stand on beyond "I feel the rules changed enough to warrant that." You can call it 5.5 edition, and maybe that will catch on... but even that is an acknowledgement that it isn't truly a "new" edition, just a continuation of the old. And you can claim you are just expressing an opinion, but over the course of this thread and others, people have claimed WoTC "walked back" calling this One DnD (they didn't), that they have never decided on a name for these rules (they did), that they have never put the name for the rules on the cover of the book (they did), that it doesn't matter if it is on the back cover, that only the front cover counts. That this is NEEDED to be fixed, because new gamers will show up with the wrong book to the table and the people with the right book will never share their copies or something. And pointing out how little that is going to affect someone, if it even happens because the two books are CLEARLY different, one being almost twice as thick as the other, just leads to me being accused of "waving the flag" for WoTC.</blockquote>
