[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8664235, member: 83242"] We can't know for sure, but everything I have seen, and what WotC has said, points to this being an incremental change. For example, a new monster book ([URL='https://www.amazon.com/Mordenkainen-Presents-Monsters-Multiverse-Dungeons/dp/0786967870/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29AQIHODO7OX2&keywords=mordenkainen%27s+monsters+of+the+multiverse&qid=1655201882&sprefix=morde%2Caps%2C160&sr=8-1']MMoM[/URL]) was recently released that is explicitly supposed to preview the changes that will come in '24. These monsters can be used right now in your D&D* game with no problem. You are in fact expect to use them. Similarly, a recent book ([URL='https://www.amazon.com/Cauldron-Everything-Expansion-Dungeons-Dragons/dp/0786967021/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_2/136-7056302-7851765?pd_rd_w=Lm4nm&content-id=amzn1.sym.7757a8b5-874e-4a67-9d85-54ed32f01737&pf_rd_p=7757a8b5-874e-4a67-9d85-54ed32f01737&pf_rd_r=0MKEFJVWPQWDBXJRH5EF&pd_rd_wg=kvajw&pd_rd_r=4bf827b9-c0fc-4a9f-b064-7cba889267b4&pd_rd_i=0786967021&psc=1']Tasha's[/URL]) provide many new player and DM options, some of which are assumed to preview the '24 edition. This book is also expected to be used right now, and people are, with the base '14 core books. In fact, you can't really use them without the '14 core books. So, I fully expect the '24 updates to be backward compatible and see no need to wait 2 years to start your gaming. You could also start with the [URL='https://dnd.wizards.com/what-is-dnd/basic-rules']free basic rules[/URL] and [URL='https://dnd.wizards.com/resources/systems-reference-document']SRD[/URL] and holed off purchasing the core books unitl '24. There are also websites that have all of this information online too. *Note: WotC don't call the current game 5th Edition. They just call it Dungeons and Dragons.
