The remarks from stevelabny are my thoughts exactly. What makes it worse are the flaws of the folkhero PC, so if they RP him correctly he will be too arrogant to believe failure is an option. Not only that, the players themselves might think it is possible. They will probably have the videogame...

The dragon does retreat after taking half damage but I'm also wondering about this. I think Mike Mearls himself said it's best not to take on the dragon but then why did they put it in there and even put the defeat of the Dragon as a personal goal for one of the PC's? Too bad that it seems you...

Some nice roleplaying on your part :) One thing that I would find hard as a new DM is that the players might just think it's a mindless monster and not understand the whole clever thought process behind the attack. But that's something I have to learn I guess.

Woohoo finally :D Now I can read something before my Starter Set arrives at the end of next week. I'll also point my new players to these and ask them to make a top 3 of characters they would like to play and one they wouldn't like at all. I'm going to make a short overview of each one though...

Spoiler:

Well, they are promoting Theater of The Mind play so you don't really need all the extra maps. I understand their approach. They provide a low cost Basic set that is enough to play for most. If you feel that you want miniatures, battle grid, extra maps, etc. to enhance the experience then you...

But that doesn't make any sense, does it? What kind of reasoning could be behind that? It's madness I tell you, madness!:(

So how long is Tyranny of Dragons set after the end of "Baldur's Gate 2 ToB" again?

Just watched it all. The ending of the episode is really funny :D

Something is really wrong with the pre-orders in Europe. People don't seem to be able to get it before next week even though the release date is today. Check the reactions on Amazon.co.uk...

Here's part 2, video starts after 6.22 minutes. http://www.twitch.tv/wotc_dnd/b/547589915 Going to watch it now :) He's showing off the PH in the beginning hehe.

Well, I hope they will want to play again and finish the Starter Set adventure :) I'll start with what you said. Saying it might be a good idea to take notes. If they all seem to think this isn't fun then I'll just remind them when needed.

Nice, this might come in handy. I'll be playing with new players so they might not (know they should) take notes. However I think that it will be more fun if they do. How is this handled normally? One player is designated to take notes?

Forgive my newbie question but I'm not understanding completely how you get to the end result of having the different pieces of the map. Could you explain a bit more?

http://www.twitch.tv/escapistmagazine/b/546332525 Interesting to see another playthrough of the Starter Set adventure and how it is different compared to the Wotc one. They also play a larger part of the adventure. They don't use all the rules correctly I think but still fun to watch...

Nice, it even matches the group I'm going to play the Starter set with gender wise (3 female, 2 male) :)

I recognised it *proud* I even started playing the first Baldur's Gate a few days ago. Wish I started with that game. Damn, Baldur's Gate 2 was confusing and hard for someone who didn't know anything about the whole D&D system. It was my first introduction to the genre. I even played it on...

So these can match up with both the Starter set pregens and with the "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" adventure?

That's what I thought too but now I'm wondering if that wasn't it. Can someone ask Mike?

Can't you just fire Magic Missile at the Darkness? (Sorry, I had to do it :blush:) I think most people will use common sense and use it the way you described.
