MM and DMG are a lot better imho. Personally I like the PHB as well BUT. 1. Players are a lot more powerful. 2. Game is more...

Li Shenron replied to the thread D&D 5E (2014) Do You Start At Level 1?.I voted "sometimes" but I should have read the post first... I don't really run campaigns but adventures only. If the same players ask...
