toolset and virtual tabletop for D&D.(opens in new tab)
"XBox One" and the problems they've had since differentiating the
'original' XBone with its successors), I've no problem with this. As
pointed out, it's not our first rodeo with regards to new editions
(it's not even our sixth; what is it really, the tenth?*)
Anyway, it's too early to judge the merits of this new edition - will
it be an exciting revival (and arguable improvement) like 3rd, or more
like the much maligned and forgotten 4th edition? We'll find out, but
until its out it's all a moot point anyway.
And it's not like I just won't keep using an older edition anyway. ;-)
Though, really... "D&D One"? What's wrong with 6th Edition, Wizards?
Don't be ashamed of your heritage!

Weren't there initially four to seven that included basic: original brown
and maybe white boxes (with JRR Tolkien's material), white box (without
JRR Tolkien), blue basic book, another blue basic book/box, (one had chits >and another had dice), first red basic book (followed by first blue
expert, B/X), second red basic book/box (and second blue expert) starting >BECMI, Rules Cyclopedia? Of course original/brown/white boxes had same

Ignoring name changes from JRR Tolkien's to generic, it seems to me more
like minimum 11 editions exist (6th might be 12th). Some people also
count AD&D 2.5 ed (because though was backwards-compatible new rules, not >everyone switched).
that's nice.
Pathfinder did a second edition (PF2) and it is a different model with a more game play focused mechanics than trying to model anything realistic.

Because so far they did not really have much success with it.
They have been dipping their toes into it since at least 3.5.
But World of Warcraft is far from being as successful as it is
right now, and I don't think an auto-GM tool ever could work
like players actually would want it to work.

Yeah. I think they saw the success of things like Roll20 during the
pandemic and wanted a piece.
The thought being "We can do this better."
And they can. I look forward to never having to align another combat grid again, comms that work, and D&D Beyond character sheets instead of
crappy, cobbled together community sheets.
Of course, it's going to cost a lot more money, too. They'll charge for everything they can. And they probably won't include old editions. So I
may stick with Roll20 anyway.

I'm not entirely sure how probable that would be as there's no agreement

No kidding. They'll have to stick to some semblance of core rules to make that workable. Problem is, as you imply, 1e had no core rules. It had aYeah. I think they saw the success of things like Roll20 during the

core set of reference books that everyone cherry picked their house rules from. 2e and 3.5e have cores, but so many supplementals that no one will
be happy with the hatchet job that will need to be taken to them.
Even if they do it, I don't want it.
I don't like the model they have, have given up on 5e, and don't like what >> I'm hearing for 6e, excuse me D&D One.Calling it "D&D One" just feels wrong. D&D was based in Tolkien, right
down to the original "racial hatred" rules and classes like the Ranger.
To come full-circle to "One D&D to rule them all" just feels very, very weird.
You'd almost think it was deliberate irony. ;^)

I doubt it. They're more likely pushing the idea of one unifying
system, /the/ game you play if you want to experience role-playing.
Plus, they've probably an idea that this will be the 'last' D&D in the
same way 'Windows 10' was supposed to be the 'last' version of
Windows; coupled with the idea that "customers are afraid of products
with big numbers" that has forced countless revisions to franchise
numbering (Friday the 13th, the nvidia GPUs, Microsoft's XBox) over
the years.
It's stupid, customers see right through it, and causes nothing but confusion, but marketing companies make money off of big re-brandings,
so it keeps happening.
Anyway, I'll just be calling it D&Done :)

Get some Xanax boy as this kind of bollocks were already part of the D&D ecosystem, back in the 80s when kids who blended worlds of fiction and reality too much killed each other and their desperate parents blamed the game and its satanic practices
Hint, 'woke' means black. And they are overtly anti-black. I don't say this as a white guy, I say it because the black people are and I strive to be an ally. There are people that will listen to me, a white guy that won't listen to black people.Good luck crucifying fiction.
Many things have changed since 80s, indeed, but some are exactly the same.. people should be fixing they own mental problems outside the game.I lived through the Satanic Panic. Fictional worlds can allow real bigots to escape notice. Look at Tolkien and Lovecraft. But out here in the real world the fascists are rewriting what is and isn't free speech. What will and will not be protected.
And I can live without the concern trolling.
