[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9271123, member: 59816"] Paramandur's not doing that either. He's only using it to explain one of MANY reasons why WotC might wnat to "get off the edition bandwagon" and only because some people (yourself included) seem very, very resistant to allow WotC to do it. That only works if you insist that 6th Edition is coming down the pipe. Which it is not. WotC has been [I]exceedingly[/I] clear that they want OFF the Edition bandwagon. They think we'd be better off with "D&D [SIZE=1]2[/SIZE][SIZE=2]024[/SIZE]" and some time down the road "D&D [SIZE=2]203X[/SIZE]" and so on. And I agree with them, because they are [B]right[/B]. The edition numbers that you hold so tightly to are a meaningless mess in any way other than that TSR and then WotC used those numbers as branding. If you think that it's okay for them to have done so, arbitrarily and for their own various "at the time it made sense" reasoning, then I have no idea why you wouldn't allow WotC to do the same now. Trust me that they've actually put AT LEAST as much thought into it and how it relates to and effects their market than, say, Gary did when he named Advanced D&D (mostly to screw Arneson out of royalties).
