Dungeons & Dragons 5+ in 2024

Sounds like Dungeons & Dragons is getting a 50th anniversary edition in 2024, intended to be fully backwards compatible with the big hit of 5th.

Of course the definition of editions in RPGs is always a bit wonky. The first two counted editions are actually Advanced D&D, ignoring the several editions of Basic, and 3.5 doesn’t count despite getting a full set of rulebooks.

Compare Vampire: The Masquerade second edition where IIRC the rules changes would fit in this post. Which is less than the revisions for each Doctor Who core since Tennant, but the big rules revamp for the new Whittaker book is labelled a second edition.

Thanks to Conrad Hubbard for the news.
