Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 8996615" data-attributes="member: 58172">Kyle Brinks is charge of the One D&D team that is creating the 2024 anniversary edition for Wizards of the Coast.Brinks describes the 2024 edition as something like 5.5, when he compares it to the transition from 3.0 to 3.5.However, in all cases, the anniversary edition is never said to be "6e".The designers appear sincere about the 2024 edition being compatible with the 2014 edition.Perhaps there is a renewed dedication to compatibility, now that the 2014 rules are legally released to the Creative Commons license that is beyond the control of WotC.The current business strategy of WotC is to be a prominent contributor to the 2014 gaming system, alongside independent contributors.Most of the differences between 2014 and 2024 are about presenting the 2014 system in a fresh way, such as reorganizing the DMs Guide, using current cultural sensibilities such as "species" instead of "race", and consolidating sprawling or unclear rules such as Ability Checks.The 2024 Players Handbook will have options that the 2014 Players Handbook lacks, such as new subclasses and tool proficiencies. Generally, there will be updates to incorporate popular content that has been published since 2014.Nevertheless, I expect it to be possible for a player to use the 2014 Players Handbook at the same D&D table where the other players are using the 2024 Players Handbook.</blockquote>
