[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9238351, member: 7006"] The point of a different moniker is that it would pre-emptively stop a number of WotC 5E purists from bothering to show up in discussions and threads and such... which would then reduce the amount of WotC 5E stans arriving and feeling the need to defend WotC and WotC's choices for D&D in said threads. If someone makes a thread here about some product that uses the 5E game engine and calls it a '5E' product, and said thread gives a thumbs up to the product because it goes against a lot of WotC policies on their 5E products... those WotC defenders will arrive to defend WotC's decisions (rightly or wrongly). But if those posts could be made elsewhere and away from the prying eyes of WotC 5E defenders under some other umbrella term than 'D&D' or '5E'... those posters could just talk amongst themselves. It would basically be no different than the Level Up - A5E board we have here on EN World now... that is populated and posted in by pretty much only people who are interested in Level Up and the rest of us WotC D&D people never bother to look through. The non-WotC 5E game engine stans sound like they'd like a similar space, that's all. [/QUOTE]
