Dungeons & Dragons next pseudo-edition, which Wizards of the Coast has finally landed on calling the "D&D 2024 ruleset" instead of OneD&D, or D&DNext, or D&D Revenge of the Lich (I made that last one up) is finally here. Having sat down with it and zeroing in on all my points of interest like a bee to nectar, I can, on first contact, safely say that you will like it if you like D&D 5e.
If I were speaking to you instead of writing, you'd detect a lack of enthusiasm in my voice—or at the very least, some conflict. That's because, for good or for ill, being a slightly better version of D&D 5e means that this new ruleset—as PC Gamer's Robin Valentine successfully predicted, isn't really giving us something new.
