Your point is a bit vague, though. What specific assertion are you challenging?I am 100% certain that the 2024 stuff will stay compatible because I am currently using it and it is compatible, but also because it needs to be compatible to maintain DnDBeyond, which is the basis of their business model.I feel like you are accusing me of something, especially since you kind of apologize, but I'm not sure what.I got into Magic in 1994, then quit in '96. However, I recently bought some of the starter sets to play with my kid, and it didn't seem fundamentally different to me. I could still use my old cards.With regards to D&D, there is much less compatibility between the rules from 1994 and the current rules. That's the whole point of switching from the old editions model: to make it so that they can keep selling you stuff for decades without you feeling like you have to change to a new game.Okay? I use DnDBeyond, and I love it. It is very clear to me that WotC intends it to be the backbone of the game going forward, and they directly stated as much, during the launch of OneD&D. Bringing selected 3PP onto DDB solidifies it.If you don't want to use it, or the integrated VTT, then don't? I don't work for WotC.Okay? Your tone seems kind of hostile, and I'm not sure why. I think DDB is the best value available for my entertainment dollar, and it isn't close. For 6 bucks/month, all of my players in three campaigns have full access to all of my WotC stuff (and now some 3PP stuff). And it saves me hours in prep time each week. But if it doesn't work for you, or you don't see the value, then that's awesome. Everyone has their own situation.I was analyzing and explaining my opinion on why the 2024 changes are not like previous edition changes, and the implications, again as I see them, for the game going forward.</blockquote>
