D&D (2024) "One D&D": do you like this name for the 2024 edition?

[Seramus]

It's probably just a placeholder, like D&D Next.

It's going to get called either 5.5 or 6E, depending how much it deviates and how it's received. We should start a pool on which one of those sticks.

5E has traction, so my vote is 5.5. Even if they try to resist that, it will probably get called 5.5.

Sometimes this place definitely just has the same conversation. I mean I’m not dismissing it, I think it’s OK.

It just struck me to go look is all.

D&D 5E - D&D Next is a crappy name.

It positively screams corporate jingoism. Might as well call it D&D eXtreMe EdiTioN. *facepalm* Have these people actually met their core audience? D&D Next: Dungeons and dragons GONE WRONG!!!! Yeah. Shoot for somethong a little more dignified. Or.. Heavens help us respectable even. D&D...

I remember this.

But OneD&D is still pretty terrible. And they did stop calling it Next.

It just makes me instantly think, ash nazg durbatulûk....

As far as I’m concerned, it’s called D&D CONFIRMED !!!

They said it's just a code name for the playtest. I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

But getting worked up over something is a requirement to be allowed online.

I don't like the name. I would've preferred if they picked just Dungeons and Dragons or called it Modern Dungeons and Dragons or anything that rolls off the tongue better than "One D&D".

It’s beyond stupid, but I think there’s a pretty reasonable chance it doesn’t actually get used for anything other than a way to refer to their various future looking plans for the next year or so. The game they spit out will almost surely just have “Dungeons and Dragons” on the cover, after all, just like how the current one goes out of its way to not call itself 5th edition.

I figured One D&D might be serving a similar purpose as D&D Next (which was also promptly abandoned), but I don't know. I don't think D&D Next was as heavily publicised and used in branding as One D&D seems to be getting now.

No they didn’t. They still call the play test D&D Next.
