[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9435843, member: 59816"] I'd love to. However... Here's the thing: I have enough respect for you to [I]know[/I] that you know that the publishing definition of "edition" and the use of the word in D&D are different. Related, but different. By the standard publishing definition of Edition, D&D 2024 is somewhere between 9th and 17th edition, depending on what you count. Morrus had it at 12. But by D&D's traditional use of the term edition, D&D 2024 is still part of the "5e Line". [I]Everyone[/I] knows what WotC is talking about, when they say that it is "not a new Edition". No one is legitimately "confused". You [I]know what they mean[/I]. BUT... they left themselves open to get GOT - we [I]can[/I] argue that they are "trying to change the definition of words" (when that was, in fact, done decades ago, and at any rate, [I]happens to words all the time -[/I] it's part of how [I]words work[/I]). We can get them! And they [I]deserve it[/I] (they do!) They say it's not an edition, but it IS! It's an easy loophole to attack them on. [/QUOTE]
