[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9451258, member: 6801228"] No, not in the slightest. Those products were not made by WotC and are quite fine products. And I've never denied that other 5e compatible books exist. But those books were built on top of the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons, not "5e that is not DnD" The brackets are a replacement, as seen in some quotes when without context it can be confusing to use the pronoun. The line comes from here, though I did not quote it exactly: [ATTACH type="full"]378827[/ATTACH] Is it still 5th edition, as in is it still the 5th edition of DnD, and in the FAQ for Level Up, Morrus gave an emphatic Yes! Yes! Level Up is still the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Sure, the 5e SRD is not the entiretly of all WoTC products released for the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons, but again, an SRD is a "System Reference Document", it is not a product on its own, it references another product, another entity. And that is the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. And of course the SRD is not the only implementation of the 5th edition DnD ruleset. It wasn't the only implementation of the 5th edition DnD ruleset before it was even written. But that doesn't make it not DnD. "they are other versions of the 5e ruleset." or in other words "they are other versions of the [5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons] ruleset." because that is what 5e means. Of course Level up is not identical to the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons, if it was, it would just be a copy of 5e DnD. But again, by saying it is a version of the ruleset, you are literally saying "It still is a version of the [5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons] ruleset however" Which is my point. [/QUOTE]
