So, whatever happened to the even worse than 5e edition that was going to come out?I have a feeling that the next edition is going to be the most atrocious shit we've ever seen and will be even more hilarious than the shit they've pulled this edition.
>>97856482?it came out
>>97856488Oh shit really? I haven't heard anyone talk about it at all. What's it called?
>>97856501>What's it called?Dnd 5e (2024)
>>97856514wtf mandid they want to reuse the same covers or something?
>>97856482Advanced 5e ?Nimble 5e ?
>>97856580D&Dows 11: Mandatory Edition
>>97856526no, they dont want to lose the branding momentum. A new edition kills interest. A "revised and better" version keeps the normies around.dont expect to ever see a D&D 6e
>>97856604well that's fucking boring, it's just going to be social media stooges sucking their own cocks forever then
>>97856615yep!
>>97856604>dont expect to ever see a D&D 6ethere's been rumors for the past 6 or so months about a new edition in the works at WotC because 2024 not-a-new-edition under performed badly, and the idea of doing D&D 5e (YEAR) Edition every couple of years did not go over well with the community at all. Their in-house VTT crashed and burned instantly also. Lasted less than a month and fired the entire team behind it got shitcanned right away.Of course, sales figures were never released and WotC gets to pad out its earnings reports with the Fortnite-ified MtG sets, but as far as anyone can suss out, just by general chatter amongst the community, D&D Beyond metrics, and so on, 2024 D&D didn't even get the honor of having an edition war. Most people just didn't fucking care and don't talk about it.
>>97856514Yeah it's not even really a 5.5 edition. It's really basically just a big errata.
>>97856688We can always cross our fingers that they fuck it up in a spectacular fashion so that we can roast marshmallows on the coalsThe way I see it 3x turned into 4 and everyone freaked out because they tried to turn it into their D&D minis wargame, but people who played D&D were fine with 3x more or less. The current era seems similar with people who play 5e being more or less fine with it. So here's my idea of the most hilarious scenario:D&D 6 is integrated directly with MTG. MTG cards in boosters that can be used as ability reminder cards and rare cards with better versions of the abilities can be used. Then class cards, race cards, ongoing effect cards, you can pretty much write it yourself.It would cause the most hilarious hobby meltdown in years.AND IT WOULD MAKE HASBRO A TON OF MONEYDO YOU HEAR ME HASBRO INTEGRATE MTG AND D&D IT WILL MAKE YOU AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEYWOTC LISTEN UP HERE IS HOW TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEYD&D 6E INTEGRATED DIRECTLY WITH MAGIC CARDS IN BOOSTERS TO COLLECT TO USE INSIDE OF D&D GAMESThere. I've done my bad deed for the day.
>>97856688>2024 D&D didn't even get the honor of having an edition war. Most people just didn't fucking care and don't talk about itThere was an edition war between 3.0 and 3.5?
>>97856764No, for the same reasons.
>>97856740Isn't Magic kind of losing momentum these days?
>>97856776YesNo way! And even if it were, this will totally revitalize both properties and be the economic powerhouse that Hasbro needs going into 2027 and beyond!
>>97856776Depends. Turtles did poorly because of design choices, but Final Fantasy was the best selling set of all time by a lot, which is still less than a year old. Most people are not looking forward to the upcoming Marvel set (and funnily enough it's a third set that takes place in New York, making Standard officially a New York Block).
>>97857253>Final Fantasy was the best selling set of all time by a lotWas that because of FF fans or meta cards? I haven't looked much into it besides drinking the delicious tears of people who bought shit like Dr. Who and then complained FF wasn't "MtG enough" (as if it doesn't fit better than Strixhaven or Cowboys or Akira Slide).
>>978564825.5 seems to doing fine.
>>97857964Already emailed Hasbro the plan I'm afraid, they've confirmed 6e with physical AND digital gatcha mechanics is in the works currently. Sorry 5.5 fans!
While art and flavor texts seem to be less violent than before, DMs are still 100% free to make games as dark as they want.>>97856689Do you consider the difference between 5.5 (2024-2026) and 5.0 (2014) smaller than the one between 3.0 and 3.X?

>>97856482I know you're a retard and baiting, but I'll give an answer about 5.5 anyway.>It was designed to be compatible with 5e so anyone playing either edition can buy all the side books. >It's virtually identical, there are some small changes. 5.5e characters are slightly more powerful.>What 5e did well 5.5 does slightly better. What 5e fails at 5.5 continues to fail at. There are a couple of downgrades but they're few and in specific cases (I don't know what retard let 5.5's True Polymorph get through the cracks but it's there)>Main points of complaint are two art pieces. The one you posted and the dwarf one. They're atrocious but not indicative of the edition>A few youtubers who make money by saying everything is woke clung onto them and spurred reddit into a lot of bitching. I remember one retard posted a picture of Kas and Vecna when they were mortal at a table laughing over a massacre with "THEY'RE WOKE AND GAY NOW" despite the whole adventure we have of those two trying to kill each other.>Supplements for 5.5 have been rare largely due to the printer fucking up the Eberron book. (the covers would horribly warp) but what we do have isn't bad. Fun expansion of the forgotten realms, some new ways to use magic. A mini supplement on Netheril that's quite faithful.>On the subject of that supplement, The Netherese are portrayed as brutal, human supremacist, classist, and evil (as they should be). The supplement assumes you'll be on side with them. This is a far cry from the Spelljammer censorship we had.>Focus seems to be on different settings, we've had Spelljammer and Planescape. Eberron just got some love, Dark Sun on the horizon.I'm cautiously optimistic for the future. But also I just play the game and don't get my opinions from youtube and reddit so what do I know.
>>97861311he was already answered you pedantic redditoid
>>97861344Answer better and I wouldn't have to
>>97861354see>>97856488
>>97861311>A few youtubers who make money by saying everything is wokeFaggots always complain about these guys, but they never seem to grasp that the only reason they have an audience to "grift" is because the faggots refuse to stop being massive faggots. No matter how hard you try to pretend otherwise people complaining about woke aren't complaining about nothing, they're complaining about you, what you represent, and your destruction of their hobbies and they have every right to.Stop making wokeslop and people won't look at a piece of art that's inoccuous in context and assume the worst because of the 500 prior pieces of art(and background material, and changes to char creation, and etc etc etc) that were absolutely not inoccuous and the context for which made them worse, thus destroying the wokeslop-complainers' business model.
>>97861650If there was so much to complain about you think they'd complain about it instead of having to make it up. Or have retards like Arch cry about not seeing dragons a month after Dragon Delves came out
>>97857925the head designer recently let slip that wotc only tracks sales success through distributors who buy directly from wotc, so a set's ability to sell out in LGSes or excite players isn't actually what wotc cares about. go figure.for now, the top echelons of the pyramid scheme that is magic booster gambling sales are happy, but the audience way down at the bottom is losing momentum and trust in the company, and game stores aren't having any better a time really. magic will only stay afloat, at this rate, as long as they can keep bringing in normies temporarily with crossover sets, and hope that enough tasteless whales keep spending money on proxyable "special arts" but none of that feels sustainable beyond 2030
>>97857253>but Final Fantasy was the best selling set of all time by a lot>which is still less than a year oldjfc the retard speed these things are happening at is getting to be a bit much.
>>97857964"Seems" and "Is" are two different things.
>>97861311>A few youtubers who make money by saying everything is woke clung onto them and spurred reddit into a lot of bitchingThis is such a disingenuous pile of bullshit that it just tips your hand entirely and exposes you as a shill. The kind of guys who whine about WotC on youtube have tiny audiences and do not matter in the slightest.
>>97863109>wotc only tracks sales success through distributors who buy directly from wotcHow archaic.
>>97866430>>97861650Well which is it? You two figure that out
>>97868859Nah, the worm is turning.The astroturf machine is being ratcheted to max.No paradigm lasts forever.And those that dissolve on contact with reality have proportionally shorter windows of relevance.
