[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8731139, member: 50987"] A while ago on Reddit, there was a discussion about the "upcoming edition" of D&D, and people were quickly divided into two camps. One group insists that it will be a complete rewrite, a brand-new edition, the oft-mentioned 6E. They insist that Wizards of the Coast is going to discontinue 5th Edition in order to sell a whole new product line. This camp says that all of the crosstalk about "5E compatibility" will boil down to brief notes for converting your stuff to the new edition...like the conversion notes for converting 3.5E to 4E, and for converting 4E to 5E. Most of it was wishful thinking, in my opinion: some people genuinely want 5E to end. The other group insists that they are going to bundle all of the 5E books into a revised set of the core rules, and call it "the Deluxe Edition" or something. They insist that this new book will just be a reprint of the core rulebooks plus the added material from [I]Xanathar's, Tasha's, Fizban's, [/I]and so forth. This camp insists that we've already seen everything that they are going to include, and it's intended as an item of convenience--a way to have everything neatly in one place. Most of it was wishful thinking as well, in my opinion: some people genuinely want 5E to be the elusive 'evergreen' edition of D&D. Obviously, the new product will fall somewhere between the two camps. But it sounds like it'll land a lot closer to Team Evergreen. [/QUOTE]
