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

[Staffan]

I prefer D1D. It's got almost the same rhythm as D&D anyway.

Which reminds me, the Fast and the Furious and Final Fantasy are the only Franchises to get to 10 and earn the 'X' honestly.
Looking at you Windows and Apple.

Well, if you want to get technical about it, Mac OS X was really NextStep V.

But I digress. One D&D is still just silly.

My immediate thought was this…

“One D&D to rule them all.
One D&D to find them.
One D&D to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.”

Less Wizards of the Coast and more Sauron and Saruman…

 

[Aurel Guthrie]

I don't like it, but that doesn't matter. It's a playtest title and they're treating it as such. Nobody said it was a permanent name.

This is what I get for making the same comment in The Black Speech.

Oh, sorry, I missed that. Kudos to you for doing first

I think it's a short term marketing term used to emphasize compatability during the transition. I don't think it will be the name long term.

This sounds reasonable. A term used during transition, which fades and they'll just go back to calling it "D&D" again.

All I hear is Strahd Von Zarovich going
TWO! TWO D&D! AH AH AH!

Nah it's going to get called 6E because once people start googling it, stuff like "AED&D" or "5EAE" or the like will be clumsy and not work. 6E is a lock unless WotC finds something competitive with that.

This. WotC desperately wants to put numbered editions to bed, but we were all calling “D&D Next” 5e from the beginning of the playtest. Same think will surely happen with “One D&D” as soon as people settle on whether to call it 6e or 5.5e. And inevitably, WotC will have to call it that, because that’s what the fans will know it as.
