Really it's just one system that is now much more messy and complicated, as the knowledge of each version contaminates the other. In other words it's been foisted on me, it's made my gaming life needlessly more complicated for what I consider negligible upside, and I'm going to complain about that at every opportunity for the next several years.But I don't think it's ridiculous to like it at all, I just can't relate to that position very much, and claims about certain specific changes being massive improvements do read as comical fanboyism to me. But I am glad some people actually like it. I don't want D&D to die, and I don't want to hasten the advent of some completely different edition pushing what tattered remnants there are of the edition I like aside. I don't actually want the fandom to go in the toxic direction of so many other fandoms in recent decades, and in the wake of the OGL debacle that seemed to be the direction, so 2024 boosters are kind of a breath of fresh, positive air.But once again, it's a positivity I really don't relate to at all.</blockquote>
