D&D 4e and Tags

History Edit

Up until now, if memory serves, all of the previous editions of D&D have all been rolled into a single tag under Dungeons and Dragons. With 4th edition 1 month away I think a descision should be made regarding tags. The publishing of a New Edition has already caused a big rift among fans/players. Some will upgrade, some wont. The same thing happened previous times the game was updated.

I'm just wondering are we gonna roll a new 4th Edition tag into the main D&D one, or should we actually split the D&D tag into all of its editions. (Red Box and Blue Box D&D, OD&D, Expert D&D, AD&D, AD&D 2e, D&D3e, D&D 3.5e and D&D4e, damn am I missing any?).

Previously I supported re-directing everything to the main Dungeons and Dragons tab, but with Meta-Tags I'm not so sure that we should anymore.

What say you?

I think the most important question for redirecting is whether people who listed themselves to play AD&D would want to play 4th Ed. I think the answer is no in that instance, but it's murkier for a generic "Dungeons and Dragons".

I don't have a good answer here, any D&D players want to pipe up?

I would split D&D into:

OD&D, BECMI D&D, AD&D, D&D 3.X, and D&D 4E

I have enjoyed every version of D&D BUT really hate what I've seen and read about 4th edition.

What the hell is BECMI D&D?

B(asic), E(xpert, C(ompanion), M(asters) and I(mmortals) D&D.

Were Companion MAsters and Immmortal really their own versions or are they all part of Expert?

Having never played anything beyond Basic D&D I wouldn't know. The BECMI acronym is commonly used, so I'm guessing that others consider them to be editions unto themselves.

In the 11 or so years I've been playing D&D and years I've spent on EnWorld and other sites that's the first time I've seen that anacronym.

Why dont we just leave in under a general D&D tag and let prospective players / DM's sort it out? Categorizing under the different incarnations of D&D just seems to make things more complicated for the sake of being complicated. I'm fairly certain that if some one wants to run or play a particular version they'll let people know.

I think DnD 4e is good. There needs to be something to distinguish between 3.X and 4e. I'm planning on playing in 4e and my group is looking for new members. But, I would hate to have to sort out every person and try to find out who is playing what. This way its clear at the beginning.
