[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8977382, member: 83242"] I don't really want to wade into this discussion with you again as we are not going to agree or convince each other. However, I think this is not an useful standard. Each edition of the game has produced material during that edition that would require some "conversion" to use. If you go by this definition, then we are way past 5th edition. Personally, I agree with someone else on these forums who pointed out that using the term "edition" is just the wrong way to look at it. We should look at it as different games. Therefore, I think their analysis was more accurate: 1e -2e: Different editions of the same game 3e: New game 3e-3.5: Different editions of the same game 4e: New game 4e-Essentials (4.5e): different editions of the same game 5e: New game 5e-1D&D (5.5e): different editions of the same game [/QUOTE]
