D&D 5E What Should We Call Next/5e

[Umbran]

Capcom took a while to learn to count past 2.

Yes, and Final Fantasy seems to never actually be final...

The question wasn't "What will some marketing hack call it?" It was, What should WE call it?

I submit to you that given that gamers can, for the most part, count to ten without resorting to using fingers that 5e is pretty much the inevitable construction.

Yes, a major product line can change its system (Windows 98), but D&D is, on those terms, small potatoes. I don't expect so much as a single nationwide TV ad campaign - WotC doesn't have the oomph to override the customer's tendency to name things as they wish.

D&D 7e

To bring all the 3e and 4e players together.
See what I did there?

Yeah 5E D&D is not technically correct but it makes it obvious what we are talking about. I mean if you count Holmes Basic, B/X and BECMI as separate editions, which is reasonable when thinking about the dif between 1E and 2E, D&D Next could be the 10th Edition/version of D&D!

D&D X!
I like it.

D&D X!
I like it.

Around these parts calling it D&D X would be pure irony, as for over 30 years 'X' has been our shorthand notation for (character) death; as in "Falstaffe's career: Borderlands, Hommlet-X, Bone Hill, Slavers Stockade-X."

Lan-"I named one of my characters X to save the notation trouble later...of course it's the one who survived"-efan

Dragons and Dungeons ...

Time for a major shakeup !!

Could you imagine the nerdrage then?


It would be.....delicious...

Anything footwaer related is going to draw the spambots adverting "cheap dunk shoes".
