It is extensively based off his notes, and his input. Some of this was already being sold in late 2007 early 2008, and a lot of the product was in the process of being made. They have access to all the notes, the original co-authors that Gary was working with, and of course the Troll Lords...
I was picturing fleshing out the character classes presented in Essentials Kit to 12 15 or 20 in the same, simple manner. Additional spells to the fleshed out level, more magic items, Another Adventure, and another screen with different, pertinent information that could be 'added' to the first...
I ordered mine from Target. Was supposed to get it tomorrow. It came today!! Reading through it. They did a great job presenting a cut down rulebook for beginners. IMO the best job since the 1982 basic version. I sincerely hope Target pushes for an Advanced Kit through level 10.

At that point, might as well buy this product. Two historically significant copies of each, essays by authors and artists, 5e conversions, and 5e expansions. Plus a pdf copy. All in a nicely done package.

I never played the realms until about a year ago. I came across a huge collection of FR stuff from 1e and 2e and it piqued my interest. I ran a small campaign around Daggerford set in 1357. I hated the sundering, spell plague, etc. of later editions. I really enjoy fifth edition, and think...
I do not think an invisible creature in combat needs to make a sneak or hide roll. They are considered heavily obscured and 'perceiving' creatures are effectively blind when dealing with invisible creatures. Unless their is extenuating circumstances, no perception is allowed. They can guess...
We always played you rerolled your hit points at every level. If you got higher, they went up. If they where lower, they stayed the same. Helps average them out.
Goodman Games is a top rate publisher in the Role playing industry. They have a vast amount of experience publishing under the OGL. They have not concentrated on 5e because D&D is no longer their "Bread and Butter". Much like Paizo, during the 4e era they went their own way and made their own...
