I'm a backer of this Kickstarter because I love the look of their flagship product they are offering, a beautiful and highly detailed prepainted miniature covered wagon. My D&D players have used wagons countless times in adventures as cover or while escorting caravans to safety and fighting off...

4e's Hammerfast

There happens to be a Kickstarter right now for Corpse Tokens. It expires in 4 days so if you are interested best hurry up and pledge. Here is the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyderak/corpse-tokens?ref=nav_search

That tiefling pack actually includes two figures, the tiefling warlock and the winged cambion with which the tiefling has a pact. Approximately $8 to $10 for a resin miniature doesn't seem out of line for the current market. Resin is generally more expensive than plastic or metal and allows...

Can you explain what you mean by troupe play? I think I know what you mean (group larger than 4 or 5 characters, and including widely varying levels?) but wasn't sure. From what I've heard 5E will support play with varying level characters, but I've not tried that in the 5E playtest so I...

At least it seems the mace is a competitive choice in the sense that it is only 5 gp, so though more expensive for no good reason, it is not a major price to pay if you want to weild it, and if you plan to use a shield all the time, the versatile advantage of the staff is not relevant most of...

I didn't keep up with all of the versions of the playtest packets so I don't know where the rules were headed on this point. Will there be a reason for a first level cleric created with the basic rules to pick the iconic mace and shield? Is the default basic cleric proficient with those? Or...

Thanks for all the responses and discussion in response to my inquiry. Based on the discussion my player has decided to go ahead and create his elf rogue archer. He hopes to have fun with the character's skills and yet be able to contribute to combat, which it sounds like he will. In any...

I posted this question in the similar thread on the WOTC forum: What domains will be in the Player's Handbook for clerics, and which of those will be in the Starter Set and/or Basic D&D? Or at least how many domains will be in the Player's Handbook and how many in Starter Set and how many in...

I think the OP is assuming that Wizkids will do a gargantuan mini case incentive like they do for Pathfinder Battles miniatures. I am betting he is right, and my guess is that it will be Tiamat, though it is possible it may be a dragon that features prominently in the Rise of Tiamat adventure...

I tried to pre-order the Starter Box and Player's Handbook and it took me four calls, as each time the person at the counter that answered the phone told me to call back later. They are supposed to be a Wizards Premier store, but had no idea when the products were to come out. At least they'd...

I don't think the plastic Icons set matches the Basic Starter Box pregens. For one thing, the Starter Box won't have rangers, just fighters, rogues, clerics and wizards. In any case, my understanding is that it will be possible for my players to use the online character generation rules to...

I think you are thinking of Hammerfast. That was a pretty good location product with a good amount of information for sandbox style adventuring as well as info to run a campaign in and around the city.

I know we don't have the rules yet, but I'm too impatient to wait, and want to get started helping my players find miniatures for their first level basic D&D characters we'll use when the Starter Box comes out. One player already settled on an elf rogue with a bow, and even found the miniature...

Just realized that when I look at this forum on Interenet Explorer, the logo for threads about the latest edition have the new logo (I noticed that change ever since the new logo was revealed a few days ago), but on Firefox, I still see the old D&D Next logo on the same threads.

Thanks for the responses. My player is excited his character concept will actually likely work in practice.

My group is starting to think up of characters to use with the Basic Starter Set when it comes out in July. One player wants to play an elven archer, but the missing spot in the party is the rogue. Based on what we know so far, does it seem feasible for an elven rogue to be a decent archer in...

I absolutely love the starter set cover art. It's my favorite piece of art for 5E revealed so far. I like the Tiamat adventure covers a lot too, and the Monster Manual cover. The Player's Handbook cover is dynamic, which is good, but seems an odd choice for the Player's Handbook. It seems to...

I think how many magic items you can have is way too important to be tied to Charisma or any stat, since from the early days trying to get the coveted magic items were too central to the goals of adventuring for many players. I think a flat number is much better than tying it to a stat which...

Does this module use the same stat blocks for monsters as were in the last public playtest packet? Or are there new monster statblocks here that provide insight into how monsters have been shaping up in the rules since the end of the public playtest?
