The OneD&D announcement somehow managed to make me feel like the changes would be both bigger than I expected, and somehow smaller than I expected. (I think I may have been imagining TWO scenarios, which this looks like it will fit somewhere between!)At any rate, I am 95% sure that the upcoming books will work absolutely fine with the new core. Mostly because I don't expect them to have a lot of class or subclass options (which I think will be the most changed by the revision).There IS ONE THING I'd like to see (and I feel that I have evidence to support the theory that they're at least THINKING about this<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Redesigned layout of Monster Statblocks. The CONTENT is one thing, the LAYOUT is another. I think it's time for a change. MPMotM may be the beginning of the new design philosophy, but it's quite possible that the statblock will change design before we see the 50AE MM.But you'd still be able to run those monsters, absolutely. You'll still be able to run 2014 monsters, even if they're slightly off design-wise.</blockquote>
