Message: <blockquote data-quote="Levistus's_Leviathan" data-source="post: 9437013" data-attributes="member: 7023887">“Calling it 2024 or Revised 5e is clearly just a WotC corpo-speak marketing scheme to make sure WotC doesn’t lose money on the new rules. Instead, we should ‘stick it to the man’ and use the 2 decades old WotC corpo-speak marketing scheme designed to make sure 3.5e didn’t scare away customers.”If you want to call the updated core rulebooks anything other than what WotC has called them, fine. I don’t care. You do you. I prefer “the new rules” or “2024 books,” but I have no problem with you calling it something else with your group. But what really gets me are the minority of people acting all self-righteous about it, or trying to convince the community to refuse WotC’s terms just to spite them. You are not “sticking it to the man” by calling the new rules 5.24e, 5.5e, 6e, or any other unofficial term. WotC is not “lying” when they call the updated rules “the 2024 rules” or “revised 5e.” Anyone that has literally any familiarity with the history of the term “edition” in D&D knows that it is a very inconsistent term. I know you know this. And you are not better or more correct than the folks at WotC because you want to refuse to use their terminology.This is just edition warring. Edition warring over the term “edition.” If it weren’t so annoying and didn’t infect so many threads it would be funny. If you want to criticize the new rules or bad actions of WotC, feel free to do so. I have before and will continue to do so. But for God’s sake, would you please stop whining about them calling it the “wrong name” and actually engage with the new rules instead of complaining about nonsense?</blockquote>
