I would like to award Jester David all the XP.

I like the art direction.

Not sure what your scope is... Would it help with combat tracking too? If so, initiative order, monster HP, damage, etc. are musts. Maybe that is a bit outside your scope though.....

Free 5e Adventure Added for Backers Another stretch goal achieved!

Malazan Empire I feel the need to recommend Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series. It isn't as strongly D&D as many of the titles mentioned by others in this thread, but it has enough elements to be familiar. I've read most of the books listed above and I think its the best of the...

IN! The Kobolds make awesome stuff! I jumped in for the lairs; I can really use them to fill in some of the blanks in my campaign (Tyranny of Dragons). Hard to pass up on all those monsters, so I added that in too. They already cleared 4 stretch goals (closing in on another) and a backer...

CR? Is Challenge Rating missing? or is that what the 6 at the bottom of the page represents?

For comparison, the milky way galaxy is about 30,000 parsecs in diameter. This particular ship has an operational range roughly 1/8 of the diameter of our galaxy.

Mike Mearls has been pretty clear that he doesn't want to do splatbooks. I'll see if I can find some quotes. I think this is the right approach. I would much rather see WoTC focus on campaign setting books and adventures.

That's a really great point that I had not considered. I guess the only way around it would be shrink wrap or something equivalent which would add to the cost. This would also eliminate the ability to thumb through the book in the store, which would be bad.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this. I'm guessing that pdf's will be available one month after official release dates (I think this is how Pelgrane Press does it). They will be available for one time purchase as well as included in some sort of monthly subscription with...

Just want to jump in and let you know that we're already talking Hoard of the Dragon Queen. The kids don't realize that they aren't even 1/2 through the starter adventure yet so they've been asking about what's next. I told them that Hoard of the Dragon Queen will be showing up some time...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I ran the Lost Mines of Phandelver with the kids over the weekend and they are hooked. They cleared out the Cragmaw hideout and can't wait to continue. Thanks to everyone that contributed some tips.

Curious if anyone is using software tools to manage combat in 5e. It looks like the 4e turn tracker would be pretty usable, but haven't tried it personally. Looking for a recommendation since Morningstar isn't available yet. DM Minion also has a 5e tool in beta, but I don't know much about...

I love the idea of a pyromaniac fire sword that sounds like Beavis. I will make this a loot drop.

Wow, thanks for all the guidance. It will be a little while before the set arrives and I have a chance to run it, but you've given me tons to think about. I will definitely report back once I've got something to report.

Thanks for the input. I haven't seen an age range for the starter set. I don't know if they've made that public. I was planning to modify anything that seemed inappropriate. What exactly do you mean by map rules? Can you elaborate? I own the 4th edition rule books and the playtest rules...

I played basic and advanced as a kid, and want to introduce my kids to the game. I thought the starter set would be a good opportunity. The group would consist of 9-12 year olds. I think we would have 4-6 players depending on which neighbor kids decide to participate. Their exposure to D&D...

I used an amazon gift certificate I had to pre-order the starter set, PHB, MM, DMG, and Hoard of the Dragon Queen. If Dragon Queen is good, I'm sure I'll get the Rise of Tiamat at some point. Normally I'd wait for reviews, but the hype has got me wildly aroused.
