[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9418793, member: 7023840"] I have to ask ... why are we still arguing over this? The definition of "edition" in D&D is completely arbitrary, and designated by the company. Editions in publishing aren't the same thing. And it's not about interoperability or compatibilty. OD&D and Basic (Holmes) and Basic (Moldvay/Mentzer/RC) and AD&D (1e) and AD&D (2e) are all interoperable. But they aren't all the same "edition." See, e.g., my prior attempts to discuss [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-interoperability-of-od-d-basic-ad-d-and-kinda-5e.673352/']interoperability of TSR-era D&D[/URL] and trying to do a [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/a-new-taxonomy-for-tsr-era-d-d.681249/']new taxonomy of it[/URL]. Heck, what even is a "half" edition (3.5e)? Is this a New Edition? Well, speaking of new editions, Bobby Brown put it best when he said, "Whitney, let's go party!" Um, no, when he said.... [I]Everybody's talking all this stuff about 5e (now now) Why don't they learn to forgive? Hasbro don't need permission, make its own decisions That's, that's Hasbro's prerogative They say it's a new edition, Crawford really don't care That's Hasbro's prerogative They say Hasbro is lying But we don't give a damn Getting money is how corps live Some ask Crawford questions, what do you want to conceal? But they don't know history They really don't know the deal about the past changes Filled with anger and spite, from wars so long ago But Hasbro will win this fight, sing Everybody's talking all this stuff about 5e That's, that's Hasbro's prerogative (I'll tell you why) Hasbro don't need permission, make its own decisions That's Hasbro's prerogative It's Hasbro's prerogative (it's Hasbro's prerogative)[/I] [/QUOTE]
