[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9271645, member: 6795602"] 1. All this seems to highly depend on how many groups adopt the updated ruleset. Like if everyone is using the new rules great! If it's 50-50 then buying the new rulebook may mean you bought the wrong D&D to be able to play with your friends - and there's a good chance you wouldn't even know to ask the question about whether it's the right version or not as you are new. 2. And on the other side let's say you have someone casually into D&D that occasionally buys some books. If they walk into the same store and see a D&D players handbook or even Revised 5e D&D Player's Handbook - they are going to think I already own that, why even look at it. At the end of the day it seems better to call it something clearly distinct while marketing it's compatibility with existing 5e products (even if a little rough around the edges in some cases).
