Any narrative justification for the physics of the entire universe suddenly changing is going to be ridiculous. Presumably virtually every group trying a new edition starts a new campaign anyway.What's wrong with good old-fashioned alternate realities? 1e Forgotten Realms, 2e, 3e, 4e, 5e... just let them all be 'shards' of the same reality. Don't try to shoe-horn changes between editions into the same timeline. I guess in the case of FR that might make selling yet another Drizzt book series slightly more complicated. But I mean, just let him stay in his original version of the world. OR re-tell his 'origin story' in the new universe. Superhero comics do it all the time.  But I don't really care about Drizzt and book continuity seems like a dumb reason to bend the metaplot around a new edition.</blockquote>
