What: Council of Wyrms. Why: Because it's the most likely product that will bring in the dragons as characters rules, which I really, really want. Other Settings, I can take them or leave them honestly. I certainly steal parts from whatever they make.

Not compare to the PHB, it's better than that: "Compare your idea to what's in the world" Now that majority of the time what's playable in the world will be what's in the PHB, it doesn't have to be the case all the time. This opens it up a bit more to powering up or down the playable races to...

In addition to "winging it" I notice that they say to compare it to the other races in your world, rather than the races in the PHB. This is also a good sign to me as potential for more powerful races. I think I will try winging out a dragon race and subraces, and a few other races to match.

Once my two campaigns I'm in (one as player, one as GM, shared world) are finished I'll be taking a break before running any more games, but once I am, it'll be a 5E hex crawl! I'm thinking the starting PCs will form a new adventuring guild, and as they adventure they'll come across people or...

Could be both occur, depending on the exact (sub)species of Dragonborn. Both forms are present in lizards and snakes afterall.

The vast majority of my gaming is online, so I pretty much have to use my desktop for that. Though there are now getting to be friends and family (or rather friends of my brother) who are interested in gaming such that playing face-to-face will be more likely, in which case I'd be in favor of...

I voted for Dragonborn, though I do agree with you that they're mechanically very week. At least in games I run, I'll be changing their breath weapon to match that of dragons, being recharge 5,6. I also want to throw in a couple minor but flavorful benefits, like the elves, dwarves, and...

Wow, that is actually a good catch. Ok, it's looking less disappointing now. Edit: And now they've put up a more up-to-date ToC

I'm liking this for the most part (though wish chapter 9 would have been a bit bigger at the expense of chapter 2, which I think would work better in a setting specific book) I think I'll start my DMG reading at Chapter 9 ;)

Anyone notice that artifacts get extra random properties on top of the tailored properties? I find that quite promising

A Dragon domain, which would be all about emulating or having positive relationships with dragons, useful for followers of both Bahamut and Tiamat. It won't have any anti-dragon stuff in it (Well, beyond diplomatically getting a dragon to not eat you, I suppose might be considered anti-dragon...

I've got a campaign or two to finish first, which will be looong after the DMG is released, but yes, I'm looking forward to running some 5E.

Humans are the only race without access to magical power unless in physical contact with a dragon, and dragons have no control over it beyond their breath weapon, but together they make a formidable team. This leads to humans and dragons having generally friendly relations, while other races are...

Please, please, please! No more LA! Something like Large doesn't need be something that needs you to start at 5th/6th level. (Though at least you were giving them hit dice/points) Just have something like the effect from the Enlarge/Reduce spell, +1d4 damage to the large creature's attacks...

Pleasant Surprise: The movement rules, I really like that they've simplified it. Spring Attack for everyone! Disappointment: The Dragonborn, still without tails, and pretty bare and weak in ways compared to the other races, and significantly weaker than they were in 3.5 while the other races...

I saw the idea that a dragon's wing claw and non-webbed finger might be more dexterous, like a humans, but obviously not too strong a grip, while their fore claws can have a strong grip, but no thumb for more complex tasks. Thus big manual labor can be done with their fore claw, though carrying...

I'm fine with dragons being this simple (with the option to add spellcasting as stated), makes 'em easier to strip down in a PC race :P :)

I'll probably start out with the standard 4d6 drop lowest, arranged as desired, or point buy, player's choice. I am contemplating adding an extra option of 2x 5d6, 2x 4d6, 2x 3d6, arranged as desired. Another thing I'm thinking of is everyone roll 4d6l1 as normal, then the highest valued roll...

1. Have there been any innovations for intiative, particularly in regards to large groups (either PCs, NPCs, or both) as well as at higher levels where the ones who win initiative usually win the combat? 2. In 3.X any player had the option to play most any monster as a character through LA...
