[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9451156, member: 6801228"] Because I am not giving anything to WoTC, except the acknowledgement that they made Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. Then why does A5e advertise itself and brand itself as "Still 5th edition [of Dungeons and Dragons]"? Pathfinder is its own TTRPG line, they have never once claimed to be part of 5th edition, they are only on their second edition. Warhammer 40K is their own TTRPG line, they have also never advertised "we are still 5th edition [of Dungeons and Dragons]" The 5th edition platform for what? Was there a 3rd edition platform for Level Up? A 2nd Edition? No, they were made FOR DnD 5th edition. You keep trying to make it sound like 5th edition is not the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, but instead some other TTRPG that has no connection to WotC whatsoever. But you can't escape that the platform was built on DnD. And did more people make more things beyond what the owner of DnD published? Of course they did! That has been true of DnD since Gygax decided to have a magazine and respond to fan letters. That is nothing new, and it doesn't change that the core system is still the DnD system. I guess you can argue it is bits and pieces and other versions of DnD, but it is still DnD. We can't claim "we are still 5th edition" and expect people to not connect you to the product that was and is 5th edition. It doesn't work like that. [/QUOTE]
