So what do we, the Older Edition community, think of One D&D?
My initial thoughts on a new edition are: Please don’t. With the exception of 3 & 5, the number of players in new editions has been smaller than the edition before - 50/50 chance that it hurts the long term prospects for the game. And new editions divide the community everytime it seems.
I’m not a 5e fan, but I’m hoping for their sake it‘s nearly unnoticeable like 3e to 3.5e.
I suspect WotC has absolutely no interest in Older Edition fans, so I don’t suspect it’ll bring us back into the fold (whichever Older Editions we prefer), but whatever One D&D is, I’ll buy the PHB and presumably play it occasionally with someone else DMing … and learn to convert some of the avalanche of new material backwards.
8 years between editions isn’t much when your campaigns last decades … yup, I’m definitely not the audience,
