Just Two... More... Days!

After that, I might nervously glance at the ENWorld Next forums, from behind the sofa.

I will be making a point of staying away from here until my group gets it's first solid game in and we've had a chance to discuss it. I want a solid opinion of the materials both as a document and as a play experience before I read any reviews or opinions by the community at large.

I wonder how much of the rules we're going to get...

The PAX playtests were all done by designers, so we can assume they knew more of the rules than the char-sheets let on. Even if we don't get char-gen and such, there has got to be some general rules for handling corner-case stuff...

* A good explanation on how to set DCs for actions not assumed in the text.
* Mundane gear and weapons/armor.
* Magic items and what they do.
* How to resolve attacks, saves, ability checks, spells, etc.

Just to name a few.

I can still imagine that this playtest book could be easily 60+ pages.

I'll be playing in a playtest at Origins next week. Here is the feedback I plan on giving them

• Need more THAC0 (its like cowbell, only better!)
• Psionics needs to be acquired randomly. Perhaps on a roll of "00" at character generation
• We need a new PC race - FlumphBorn!
• Healing Stirges!
• Hit Points should be descending. AC should be multiples of Pi
• Harlot Miscibility Table!
• Skills should be rolled 5d4 roll under Score

If that does not lead to an awesome game I do not know what will.

Not leaping on here to post a frothing missive before you've finished reading page 1 of the rules? You, sir, are a rare and precious specimen.

I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up. So I'm keeping a tight lid on my excitement.

Still... yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

The first thing I can't wait to get my hands on is Ability Scores (the absolute core of D&D).

Potential spoiler:

I heard a rumor that one of them will be a 12!

Well, that's the last straw for me. WotC has gone too far this time.

This edition will never sell giving they type of ability score..

Just lol.
Btw also if paladins aren't LG this edition will fail.
Also if Dragonborn are in this edition it will fail.

Yes. Those 2 things are all it takes.
These forums are hilarious sometimes.
