5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual I had to just put my two cents in. This book is great! Art is wonderful, the monster stats are well organized and just fit the game, and it has plenty of them across all difficulty levels. This is probably my favorite monster book of all of...

4 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook I fell out of love with D&D when 3rd edition came out. I think they kept the heart of the game, but it was just too much. Being a husband and father, I just didn't have time to absorb all of the rules and stay on top of the system. I saw...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook This book is all of the best of the past editions of D&D put into a very well-written, gorgeous book. I fell completely out of role playing shortly after 3rd edition came out, and tried to get back in with 4th, but the game changed so much...

5 out of 5 rating for Numenera Core Rulebook What I love about Numenera, aside from the gorgeous artwork, attention to world detail, and downright simplicity in mechanics and play, is the fact that this is a story-driven rpg with some cool modern mechanics to back up those stories. Sure, I love...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules You get close to the full game with this rule set. Yes, you only have the four iconic classes and races, and a much smaller selection of spells. However, you can actually play D&D for free with this. If you're new to D&D or role playing games in...

If that's the case Mistwell, then I'm in. However, Wizards being, well, Wizards, it wouldn't shock me if they enacted a minimum pricing structure. Not saying it will happen, but it just wouldn't shock me. Forgive my pessimistic attitude. I want in, I really do, but if it's going to be $150...

If there will be electronic versions without having to subscribe monthly I'm really happy to be back into playing rpg's again. I really am. I've had a love affair with D&D for-freaking-ever. Seeing the playtest online, and getting back into the game, and introducing it to my teenage daughter...

What D&D means to me. I think it was 1981. I was at a friend's house, and he had a neighbor friend that was a few years older than us. I was 11 at the time, and I think his friend was 14 or 15. My friend said something about a game that his friend plays, where you fight dragons and goblins...

Yes! And I believe that the design team is setting it up to where they can achieve something like this. With all of the talk about modules and customization, I think a module with all of that stuff in it, instead of bloating the core rules, would be fantastic.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! What a lot of it boils down to is 5E is working very well with my group and our play style. If you don't like it, don't play it, stick with the edition you prefer. I'm hoping that the design team keeps the system as free-form and loose as it is in the...

Hi All, new guy here and just had to comment on this thread. There are lots of valid points made, for and against, but I thought I'd put my 2 cents in as well. I've been running 5E for a while now, and sure, there are issues. The math hasn't been perfected, low-level monsters are easy to...
