D&D (2024) Jeremy Crawford: “We are releasing new editions of the books”

[mamba]

Its the single biggest unforced error they could be making trying to change the game as dramatically as OneDND has while trying to frame it as just a revision.

short of releasing an actual incompatible 6e

clairity...

imagine tomorrow Mcdonalds made a 'new' big mac that is a single burger on a sourer dough bun with mayo mustard lettuce tomato and pickle.

That MIGHT be a great burger, but calling it a big mac confuses people.

putting out a taste test of that new burger and saying "It's still the big mac just like any other Big mac would make people ask "wait this is a new big mac right?"

It gets worse if you go to your favorite Mc donalds message board to ask about New Big Mac and people insist it isn't new it's the same big mac...

now I am hungry, but I wont go to fast food on a night I don't work.

Man, that's MUCH better than my car analogy.

And now I too want a Big Mac, which I haven't had in a few years.

I will raise you a 3rd coke...

I just got back from my Honey Moon, and we went to Jamacia. They had Coke made with real suger... here in the states we us corn by product. So in theory there could be 4 really... the new coke made from suger, the new coke made from corn, the classic coke made with suger and the clastic coke made with corn.

Around here (GA), and in CA and PA it's called "Mexican Coke", because Mexico gets the sugar, too. Like, that's how the restaurants list it in their menu.

Pretty sure Coke sold everywhere outside of the US contains sugar instead of corn syrup.

This thread unexpectedly makes me remember and miss the Arch Deluxe.

Which means it needs conversion? Why would it need conversion if it is the same edition?

No conversion needed, not even for Warlock Subclasses. Even now, in rough draft, and they have explicitly promised to clean up how older subclasses slot into the new Class frameworks in the final publication. But anyone can already do this, easily.

I guess we shall see when its finally released.

I mean, you can see the packets now.

Yup, Mexican Coca-Cola. Real sugar, just like it used to be here. And it is GOOOOOD!!!!
I can get it here - in glass bottles no less - at the local carniceria, or when I go to Rocky Point.

Reminds me of Hardy Boys Casefiles book I read in my preteen days. Turned out the French chef planning meals for anschoold district was using horse meat, because Americans had bad taste. He might be right; our McDonalds suck compared to global offerings.
