D&D (2024) What is your preferred naming for the 2014 and 2024 versions of D&D?

[schneeland]

Following up on the discussion in the "Let's call it 5.24"-thread, let's have a more extensive poll on everyone's preferred option to tell apart the 2014 and 2024 versions of D&D.

There's a character limit on poll options, so I'm repeating the options I compiled from the aforementioned thread in full below:

1. 3e-like naming: whole edition is 5e, 2014 version is 5.0(e), 2024 version is 5.5(e)
2. SRD-based naming: whole edition is 5e, 2014(-2015) version is 5.0, 2024 version is 5.2, optionally 2016(-2023) version is 5.1
3. Year-based naming (with e): whole edition is 5e, 2014 version is 5e14 (or 5e2014), 2024 version is 5e24 (or 5e2024)
4. Year-based naming (with dot): whole edition is 5e, 2014 version is 5.14, 2024 version is 5.24
5. PF2-like naming: no name for whole edition, 2014 version is 5e, 2024 version is 5e revised/5eR or Revised 5e/R5e
6. Anniversary naming: no name for whole edition, 2014 version is 5e, 2024 version is 5ae (anniversary edition) or 50e (50 year edition)
7. Movie-like naming: no name for whole edition, 2014 version is D&D (2014), 2024 version is D&D (2024)
8. Old and new: whole edition is 5e, 2014 version is old 5e, 2024 version is new 5e (added after suggestion)

If someone feels their preferred option really isn't covered by the existing options, I can also add additional options later (hopefully, I never tried that so far).

I selected PF2-like naming. Calling the 2024 version R5e works for me since the new version is a revised version of 5e. 5e, R5e and A5e.

 

[Parmandur]

I chose "Movie-like naming: 2014 version is D&D (2014), 2024 version is D&D (2024)."

4 way split so far!

 

[SlyFlourish]

None of these.

2024 D&D or 2014 D&D.

 

[TiQuinn]

When writing about it, i prefer Revised 5e.

What I think it’ll be called colloquially: New 5e.

 

[Mind of tempest]

5.5 so I can save on typing charicters

 

[schneeland]

2024 D&D or 2014 D&D.

Just to double-check: you would perceive this as significantly different from D&D (2014) and D&D (2024)? (because I probably would have sorted it into that bucket)

 

[EzekielRaiden]

5.0 and 5.5e.

Short, simple, familiar, reasonably accurate, doesn't lay claim to more than is warranted.

 

[Micah Sweet]

5.0 and 5.5. Forever and ever.

 

[Seramus]

5.0 and 5.5.

The only other thing my groups sometimes call it is One D&D.
