    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    That's the way we played in previous editions as a house rule. My groups were fine with it also.

    D&D 5E My Journey to 5th Edition

    My journey to 5e began with the a borrowed copy of the OSR. I then purchased (or, rather, my mom did) the Basic Set, followed by the Expert Set. This very quickly lead to 1st Edition which we played a ton of as well as branching out into other TSR games such as Gamma World, Top Secret, Twilight...

    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    I wholeheartedly agree. Much can be gained with words.

    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    I like this idea although I see both pros and cons to it. (Partial list of each follows as I am on mobile.) Pros It makes for very realistic advancement of experience. It allows for any research of spells, acquisition of manufactured goods (shiny suits of armour), etc. Cons Experience and...

    D&D 5E Followup on "Everyone Starts at First Level"

    (I'm reading through the thread from the start so apologies if this has already been covered.) This assumes that your group allows multiple level gains per encounter. Doing so has never made sense to me regardless of which edition it was. It breaks the immersion. One hostile encounter doesn't...

    D&D 5E 5E OB5ERVATIONS - from an Old School Ref

    I like that change. I was not a fan of the reduced healing time in 5e as I cut my teeth on 0e and 1st ed. way, way, back. I'm starting a new group that's never played before so I'm very torn on whether I should adopt your healing system or leave things as is for the new players.
