[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8742862, member: 6988941"] I wish they just called it "5e 2", but that would have required acknowledging that 5e is called "5e" by everyone outside of WotC, who use the term but rarely. 5.5 seems like something 3.X veterans will gravitate towards but I wasn't part of that scene and unless everyone else gets on that bandwagon and the term becomes ubiquitous it has no draw to me. There is no clear reason, without the creators calling it that, to call it 5.5 rather than 5.1, 5.2, or any other software-style versioning other than that ".5" was nomenclature for 3.5. If the edition that comes after OneD&D also more rejiggering rather than the typical "whole new game masquerading as a new edition" model, then what is it supposed to be called? 5.5.5e? I'll probably call it the 2024 edition when I need to distinguish it from 2014 5e. Or I'll just call it wrong when it relates to a change I disagree with. [/QUOTE]
