Erm, no. Just no. Pathfinder was built on OGL, Open Game License. WotC basically published barebones D&D rules for free and allowed anyone who asks for agreement to use them in their own games within certain limitations. They fell for linux coolaid and believed D&D can dominate RPG market if everyone uses the system - forgetting the distribution wars and splintering for the market lessons. Which were not an issue for a pretty long time thanks to D&D big name until WotC tried to change course with 4th edition and the most popular of dozens of the splinter RPG games, Pathfinder, managed to steal a big portion of playerbase that didn't liked 4th or couldn't be arsed to switch from 3rd. The resulting sales downturn is why OGL for 4th and 5th edition was much stricter, and why GW (and other big game companies) shelved their own rule licensing programs and begin controlling them in much harsher way.

The thing is though, that this has never really been tested in court - there's just not enough money in it. GW in particular has been known to overstep the bounds of its IP rights to bully people.

Anyway, with their recent bs, that's why I'm not buying into the new KT.

So now that the new KillTeam is hitting the stores on the 28th, do we need to start distinguishing between threads for the two editions? If so, how do yall propose we should go about it?

Just start calling it Kill Team 2019 and Kill Team 2021 or KT19 and KT21

Being a stroppy sod I'd prefer to not acknowledge the newest addition...

Previous edition of Kill Team came out roughly in August 2018, along with Adeptus Titanicus. It was possibly Games Workshop's finest hour in recent years...but anyway, its referred to as "KT'18".

**tauist**

so we'd use Thread title prefixes

[KT18]
[KT21]

?

**SamusDrake**

Correct.
