Nobody else had an issue alienating their players for the last 50 years. 
Just make the changes incremental, make it possible to use the older 
stuff with barely any modifications. Just think about how people were 
using ADnD 1e stuff with 2e. I don't know why since 3rd edition they 
have to completely upend the way the game works with every edition. 
Editions used to be a thing that refined stuff, they weren't supposed to 
create completely new games with only the rough genre remaining the same.
