[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9270542, member: 7040132"] I disagree. The "edition name" doesn't need to change. Any confusion would be short-lived, or perpetuated by those who wish to perpetuate it for their own reasons. I would argue that calling it a different edition could even cause substantial damage to the Community. Calling it another edition will make some people think that it [I]is[/I] different and incompatible, and that any content that came before 2024 (including 3rd party content) is for a different edition, and could hurt sales for compatible products. The only thing that is really[I] needed[/I] is for people to be able to differentiate the 3 same-named books from themselves, not the "edition." And that is very easy. In DDB, I expect 2014 content to get the "Legacy" tag. In the physical books, each playgroup will just determine what they want to use. If they choose one or the other, they will have little problem. For those who want to use options from both releases (2 different druids, for instance), they just need to mention which [I]book[/I] they are using for that rule, not "edition." As Monsters of the Multiverse and its companion books prove, just because a new book is released with updated/revised content, causing older content to be tagged as "Legacy" content, it does not make that content a different edition.
