D&D (2024) Counting the minutes to get the PHB 2024...

[MonsterEnvy]

Oh, well this kind of sucks - Only the Cleric, Fighter, Rogue & Wizard classes are free for the basic 2024 rules - compared to all the classes (save Artificer) for the 2014 rules...

That was the same as the Basic Rules back in 2014. I assume once the SRD is finished the other classes will show up.

Oh nice, each class has its individual spell list listed right in the class rules. That's a helpful QoL change that I hadn't seen before, or had missed in the previews...

The quality of life changes are immense.

The crafting of the book is wonderful

They are up (all core classes), took a little time for them to show.
App updates now, made first character - Aasimar Warlock that I hadn't planned on.

Weird. If you click on cleric from dropdown, you get the legacy cleric. You have to select all classes to find the new stuff and even then the 2024 classes are mixed between free and 2024.

I just picked up my copy (Pegasus Games, Madison, WI). I ordered the alt-cover.
And one of the first things I noticed - dark text, very light colored background, good text size, highly readable. Man, it's hard to imagine I'd find that quite so important but THANK YOU, WOTC for making those choices.

Sadly, those of us who discovered D&D during the 80s boom years are distressingly close to demanding large-print editions of the rulebooks…

I’ve been there a while. That’s why I’ve switched to digital books now.

What do you mean? Stuff seems to be shorted from me checking.

 

[UngainlyTitan]

anyone see an easy way to replace your 2014 spells with 2024? or do I need to do that one by one for PCs....

It does not look like the character sheet is complete or has bugs, I attempted to remake the basics of a high-level character that I have in Fantasygrounds and the new version of the warcaster does not appear to be in the list (or I could be just blind).

As for spells, it looks like the spell manager has both versions listed for legacy characters (or presumably for characters created using legacy characters ) but only the new core version of the spells for new characters created in the new core.

A bit messy as far as UI goes.

I'm hoping they soon implement a toggle tied to a cookie that will remember if you are using current or legacy rules so you don't have to fiddle with it every time you go to do something on the site.
