I remember the Superman triangle numbers. Jesus...my understanding is the anywhere from 13th to 17th edition would fit... maybe that was for 5e so somewhere between 14th and 18th?
this reminds me of legacy numbering on comics...

It’s a joke man, don’t overthink it.Except that they're not calling it 6e, and if we're going off "every other edition" instead of the publisher's nomenclature, then 3.5 should have been cursed...
The "even edition curse"!? Why, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 2E and...Yeah, I could see this being a continuation of the “even edition curse,” which will be recovered from in whatever they call the next iteration of the rules after 1D&D.
And to be clear, I think 2e and 4e are both great rule systems. But they also both, for various reasons, led to troubles for TSR and WotC.The "even edition curse"!? Why, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 2E and...
Oh, wait.
I see what you mean.![]()

They even tried the use of "One" which has 3 letters to be doubly safe. They should have read the rules on curses. Curses are not so easily evaded."1" is not an even number. They tried to evade the curse.
But the gods knew the edition's truename...
Pretty sure it's the opposite of sebtraction.Oh, good, yet another thread descending into "what's an edition?" I put on the popcorn.
Well, given how many Ex-Microsoft employees are at WotC and that there's the same curse, only with odd editions of Windows, now I imagine that after their probation period, every Microsoft employee has to choose:"1" is not an even number. They tried to evade the curse.

However, unfortunate connotations to Sauron and the Rings, which have been comparisons that are too easy to resist this week.They even tried the use of "One" which has 3 letters to be doubly safe. They should have read the rules on curses. Curses are not so easily evaded.
Considering that all of Foundry VTT's support for D&D and OGL content is created and developed by 3rd-part creators, I wonder how this will play out for them.No. You don’t need to buy the VTT support to play the game. You can run any RPG on any VTT just fine. All the official bells and whistles and art assets are helpful extras, not necessary components.
Based on the leaked draft, Foundry is in the worst place if they don't have the same kind of direct deal with WotC that FG and Roll20 do.Considering that all of Foundry VTT's support for D&D and OGL content is created and developed by 3rd-part creators, I wonder how this will play out for them.
I just don't get it, though, considering that there's no 1st-party Foundry support for D&D/OGL games. I could see going after the 3P creators of game system modules, but Foundry itself?Based on the leaked draft, Foundry is in the worst place if they don't have the same kind of direct deal with WotC that FG and Roll20 do.
But if the new OGL stands and says "no VTTs" then Foundry is probably going to have to take that stuff off their service, I would think.I just don't get it, though, considering that there's no 1st-party Foundry support for D&D/OGL games.

Foundry won't be able to officially host the files but that won't stop people from distributing them over, say, Discord.Depends how its being put on it; keep in mind Foundry is hosted by the user, not a central server. I don't know how system support is managed, but if its done by using files at the user's end, hard to see how they'd have any real obligation to do anything about it.

this (Twitter and Musk) is yet to be determined...I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but if Twitter can survive Musk, D&D will survive this OGL flap.
I've been playing a 4e game for almost a year so I'm pretty familiar with unofficial distribution methods.That was what I thought. I just don't understand exactly how it operates that I wanted to make an authoritative statement here.

What work? You just click to roll the dice and handle everything analog like you would at the table. A character sheet that automatically calculates things and has a button to press to roll this skill or that attack absolutely is a helpful extra.More than just helpful extras. The free SRD content on Roll20 makes it much much easier to play 5e. It would be too much work for me to do it without it.
