If WotC and everyone else is going to insist on calling 5e D&D Next, what will they call 6e. D&D, Even Nexter?  The Lastest Edition? I'm curious.

They may just call it D&D

Personally I do find it helpful for the publisher to enumerate editions.

I can see why, but on the other hand if the plan is to bring out new editions of all the old editions, I can see why you would want a different naming system for the core editions.

If we ended up with Classic D&D, Advanced D&D, Open D&D, Power D&D and D&D Next, each with several editions, I could live with it.

I consider "D&D Next" to be just a working title, quicker and easier than saying/writing: "Dungeons and Dragons, Fifth Edition".

6th Edition would be D&D Next 2nd Edition.

7e will be "D&D: The Nexterest".

That's indeed the thought behind it: to just drop the edition numerals. Unless the plan changes between then and now:

Quote from: Mike MearlsI think that the actual naming of the game will come down to how the play-tests go and how people react to it. I'd love to just call it Dungeons & Dragons and leave the edition numbering behind.

After d&d next will come Nextest, then Nexterer, then Next, Punch, First of the Month, then finally Infininext!

They will go in spirit of film sequels imo: DnD Balboa. Or DnD:Chainmail.

Who cares what they call it?  Let's get to D&D Next and worry about another edition when it comes out.

As long as it's not called Dnd: The Crap it will be fine.  DndNext, DndLast, Dnd 5.0 whatever, as long as I like it will be all good.:D
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

I'm just saying, calling it Next is an amazing lack of foresight. In 5 or 6 years, when 6e is announced, this will be looked at as a dumb mistake.
