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

While I 100% disagree with them, I find that use of the name quite funny.
ODD is pretty clever too (Not to be confused with "Oh, DAD!" of the Original D&D).

But I'm gonna use 1DD myself, I think.
Oh, it definitely is. I guess it isn't 100% original, as it was derived from a recent X-box (I guess the most recent was an 'X-box One', which became 'X-Bone'), but still quite cute. Wordplay is a strange equalizer in that it is pretty divorced from the actual points and the people one agrees with don't necessarily have the best jokes and all that.

They should call it D&D Next! Oh wait, that was just a playtest name, like this will end up being.

Everyone will just end up calling the Anniversary Edition D&D, to distinguish it from Vanilla 5E D&D, since it is supposed to be fully backward compatible and still be 5E.
That's a far better name. I actually really like that one.

i think the working title is just a code as is mentioned. My money is on D&D as the eventual title. The community? We will call it 5.5 or 6e.

I am going into this with an open mind.

I have never been in two successive editions of the game. Being current for more than a little bit would be novel. For me it was 2e, 3e, 5e.

I am less worked up about floating racial ASI if they tie it to background. I think I want some sense of grounding even though D&D is no simulation.

I like that a greatsword does more damage than a shortsword. I like that a laborer of any race would come to the game with more strength.

Giant halflings…eh….to each their own. But I am going to play test some of this.
