[QUOTE="Gorck, post: 8766335, member: 7037537"] I hope not. They need to call it something to differentiate it from all the previous editions. We're already seeing problems here in these forums where people are referring to One D&D as ODD, which is causing people to get confused with Original D&D. If they just call it "Dungeons & Dragons" there will be mass confusion when we're trying to compare the different editions with each other. Whatever they wind up calling it, I'm just praying that the new MM will do for the 5e MM what MP:MoM did for VGM and MTF. I know it's just a pipe-dream, but I would also love to see the creatures in the 5e MM converted to the new stat blocks and combined with all the creatures in MP:MoM to form a Mega Monster Manual. Complete with the handy dandy Random Encounter Tables from XGE updated to include all the monsters (even those in FTD). I find those tables to be extremely helpful, but wish they had more than just the monsters in the MM. One of the issues I have with D&D in general is that it has a lot of material to work with, but that material is scattered across too many sources. They put out charts and table for various things to make it helpful, but then new products are released and those charts and tables are no longer complete. [/QUOTE]
