Invective Index: A Museum for Edition War Memorabilia

[Nifft]

This thread is intended as a catalogue of the creative names invented by edition warriors to make fun of other editions and their proponents. I'm only familiar with a few, so I'm explicitly asking for community help in enumerating these hopefully entertaining names.

This thread is a museum for edition war memorabilia. This thread is not intended as a venue for edition wars.

I think this thread doesn't violate the forum rules, and I hope it is both informative and entertaining.

Without further ado, here are the invectives that I've seen.





oD&D
- ???


AD&D 1e
- ???


AD&D 2e
- 2mor (2 + "tumor")


D&D 3e
- 3e-tard or 3tard (3 + "retard")


D&D 4e
- 4on (4 + "moron")
- 4rry ("furry" except 4)


Pathfinder
- Pathfundie
- Pathloser
- Mathfinder


D&D 5e
- ???


"Previous Edition" in general
- Grognard

I've seen Grognard tossed about for any player who grumbles about a new edition or rule change, or generally prefers older editions. From the French for an old soldier (literally, grumbler).

Good call, I'd forgotten about that one since it's not edition-specific.

Added, thanks!

I have a friend who calls pathfinder "mathfinder" intending it to be derogatory toward the system

I guess it's a complaint against complexity?

Math itself seems like a good thing to me.
