It does not mean my 3DS will recognise the DS Wi-Fi Connection and let me play Pokémon Black and White on 3DS servers. It does not mean that I have perpetual access to the browser-based Pokémon Dream World, despite that being a selling point of the DSi Pokémon titles. Likewise, One D&D should be able to “boot up” a 5e module, even perhaps run with PCs from the 2014 PHB. But I wouldn’t expect it to cleanly allow mixing and matching of player options, nor would I expect it to easily balance 2014-2019 PCs with 2020-2023 PCs with 2024-onward PCs. I would expect every 2014 PHB character archetype, if not in the 2024 PHB, would have a very close equivalent option and an errata/update guide to show how to rekit the your character.And I’m still not sure if I should expect Tasha’s onwards (incl errata for Xanathar’s in the Rules Expansion) to be fully compatible. I expect them to be a heck of a lot compatible, at least, than the 2014 and 2017 versions.</blockquote>
