Posted on 2025-01-14

• "Chainmail?" not enough Tolkien
• "Dungeons and Dragons?" Too easy
• "Dungeons and Dragons Basic?" Dial back the Tolkien omg lawsuits!
• "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons?" Not a set...
• "BX D&D?" Not quite there yet
• "BECMI D&D?" Too many sets now...
• "AD&D 2nd Edition?" Oh right, Advanced, forgot about that
• "Rules Cyclopedia!?" We solved the sets issue
• "2nd Edition Revised!" Why is this not 3rd edition?
• "D&D 3rd edition!" Okay but this isn't AD&D or BECMI...
• "3.5 edition!" Were you watching the Xmen 1.5 DVD release?
• "D&D 4th edition?" WoW, as in world of warcraft
• "Let's call it 5e?" okay this is more like 3.6 and it rocks!
• "For 2024 and 2025... One D&D... wait no we changed our minds, 5th edition again!" WoTC you suck
