    D&D 5E Starter set unboxing photos

    I get your point- for $3 bucks, the PF beginner box trumps the Starter Set, not argument here. However, in Amazon the Starter Set is $13 and the Beginner Box $26; at regular retail, the Starter Set is $20 while the Beginner Box is $35.

    D&D 5E Starter set unboxing photos

    Regarding the Starter Set price, I do feel they've sacrificed a few nice things to keep a low price tag- for instance, I would have loved to see a different cover for each booklet, as silly as that sounds. However, these kind of decisions are not made by the game designers, they are handed...

    D&D 5E Basic DnD: Classes?

    I'll get the PHB because I like to have lots of Race and Class options, for I can understand that for some the Basic rules are enough. I mean, lots of people have played -and still play- such setup.

    D&D 5E Starter Set: Except 7

    I'd really like to see more flavor text, but I guess it's the first thing that gets cut for space by the editor.

    D&D 5E So why's the spell's saving throw and target in the text block?

    Honest answer: I have no idea. WotC should know. Speculative answer: maybe in the PHB spells will have Save and Target entries, even when those in the Starter Set don't. Mearls mentioned they were dealing with a set page count and tried to make the most out of it, so perhaps saving those two...

    D&D 5E Are we banking too much on the DMG?

    I don't really expect much of the DMG, personally. To be honest, for most editions the DMG has been the least interesting book among the core three. If it can be just a little bit more inspiring than its predecessors, I'll be happy. I do agree that it's impossible to satisfy the needs for...

    D&D 5E Design Philosophy of 5e

    I, for one, welcome the design philosophy of the new edition. I quit DnD six years ago because I just wasn't getting any fun out of it, so I'd like to see a return to simpler and "human-centric" rules- if I have to make a judgement call about a rule, so be it, it wouldn't be the first time I...
