"3E" was the 5th typical edition,"3.5" (the most egregious misnomer of all) was the 6th typical edition, "4E" was the 7th typical edition, and the 2014 books were the 8th typical edition.So, the 2024 rulebook will be the 9th typical edition of the AD&D lineage, but the 14th version of D&D rules (not counting Essentials).Why should they call that mess "Sixth Edition"? There is no way it comes out to the Sixth of anything.</blockquote>
