People saying otherwise are not listening/reading and are creating their own narrative. Or are listening to others with their own narrative, and that is confusing them. There are Wizards-haters who are trying to confuse the community on purpose as a way to stick it to the man.It's right here:  <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/one-dnd" target="_blank">One D&D</a>OneDnD is not the name of the game. It is an initiative, essentially a project name like D&D Next. It represents takes taking the core of 5E, enhancing/improving it after 10 years of our legitimate criticisms and feedback, in order to create a better experience, and it merges that with DDB and a new VTT that allows both physical and digital play, because people play differently and more often remotely, these days.The 2024 books will still be using 5E mechanics, but it takes our legitimate criticisms and feedback, to enhance for clarity, be more inclusive, and yes give us some new stuff that we can hype up over. Look at the positive interest in the new DMG! People want this!And no, they are not changing the name of the game. They want it to be D&D, and this has been their stance since D&DNext playtest 10 years ago. They want D&D to be able to evolve with the times, and yes, this is a big evolution.Sure, it is a legitimate discussion what people should (or just will) call the new books, to differentiate them. But most people don't agree what "edition" even means anymore. Wizards wants to get away from the edition wars. By holding on to the travesty of the 3.5 marketing, people are keeping the war alive.I'm just going to call them the 2024 rulebooks and 2014 rulebooks, and I can totally see them using the Anniversary Edition to differentiate the books themselves. But they don't have that pinned down yet, as it is essentially marketing, not design. We are in the design and playtest portion of things.I understand that people don't want to give the D&D team grace, after being hurt. But just because they were hurt, it doesn't mean that they are not trying to hurt Wizards in return. They can do that, but it is obvious to me what they are doing.</blockquote>
