D&D (2024) Does anyone else think that 1D&D will create a significant divide in the community?

One thing I realized looking at this thread title is One D&D may create confusion with D&D 1E, as I imagine a lot of people are going to swap out "one" with "1".

People don't like Tasha's? Aside from the additional subclasses, spells, and magic items (like Xanathar's had), it provided a bunch of optional rules that made the classes better (and vastly improved upon the Ranger), and it finally gave us an official Artificer.

Just don't get me started on the flexible +2/+1 ASI for character creation and their subsequent removal from the Races.

Well, Eberron gave us an official artificer, but it was nice that it was in Tasha's if you didn't buy that book.

I don't see it as a hybrid.

I used hybrid, although without defining it explicitly, to mean that you incorporate an older version of an option and a newer option in the same game. I.e. if a party had both a PHB Ranger and a UA Ranger.

That's why I call it 6e. Because I don't see it any other way.

Yeah that won’t confuse anybody. But you do you.

I've had plenty of folks call me out on it, so I think it's pretty clear how I mean it.

Until an actual 6e comes out. Which I’m guessing you will call 7e.

They said they weren't doing editions anymore, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm dying.

If the changes to 5e are superficial, then it is not a new edition. So far they have been pretty minor and a little boring and so hence its maybe a 5.5e but I don't think they can decide what to call it. D&D "Next" was never a thing, I don't think "One" is going to be a thing, its an insult to 1st edition.

The “1” in 1st edition was in decimal. The new 1 is in binary. TOTALLY different.
