[QUOTE="abazaba, post: 9639120, member: 7043538"] Some of the parts were it matters to me and makes a difference are : How we refer to the 'not-new-edition': WotC seems to want to call it the '2024 revision of 5e' (if I even got that right), which leads to naming things like 'the 2014 revision of 5e', and 'the 2024 revision of 5e', which doesn't exactly roll of the tongue easily. The fact that the new monster manual was only published in 2025 and not 2024 only makes it more complicated: do we call that the '2024 MM' or the '2025 MM' ? Or perhaps even 'the 2025 revision of the monster manual using the D&D 5e 2024 revision' ? WotC is definitely marketing it as 'not-a-new-edition' while claiming that all the old material will fully be compatible with the new material, and then they plan to release a 'conversion guide' to convert the old material to the new material. So which is it: a 'fully compatible not-new-edition that doesn't need any conversions', or a 'not so compatible new-edition that needs conversion' ? You can't have it both ways. [/QUOTE]
