Ok, I set my collection up and snapped a quick pic. My apologies for the low quality pic, I took it with my phone. :p

Cool collection Jester Canuck. With everyone posting pics, I feel like I should add some as well, even though my collection is just starting...I will grow it as I can though. :)

Interesting points & counterpoints here all. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Having not been around for everything that has transpired with previous editions, I find this stuff to be highly fascinating.

You raise some excellent points here IMO. I feel you are probably correct that if WOTC were to publish adventure paths/modules to play with the 5E core books, they could potentially continue to do so forever. As a new player, this sounds GREAT to me! HAHAHAHHAA! Churn out high quality adventure...

Please forgive my ignorance, but how/why would an OGL reduce sales of products like the spell cards? I can understand players buying different adventure paths/modules, if they thought they would be better than the official ones, but I would think items like the spell cards, DM screen, etc would...

Yeah, after seeing all thee (physical book, free PDF, starter set) I can see why they did what they did. It makes sense to not repeat the same info over and over again. I only wish that WOTC would have dived into the details of everything for new players (in the physical copy of the PHB...

IMO, something like that would go a LONG way in clearing up confusion. I was actually surprised the starter box didn't have something like that. In fact, there isn't anything to help create characters in the starter box (that I saw anyway). I found that to be rather odd, considering it is the...

+1 SO. MUCH. THIS. As a new player, if there are suggestions I could make to WOTC, they would be the following. 1. Show a pic of a blank Character Sheet with labels and a guide that tells you what you need to do to fill in each box, or put in each box. Step by step. IMO the "step by step"...

I sincerely want to say Thank You to all of your for your help. Getting this worked out, really helps me feel a lot more confident going into the game. :)

Ah, thank you. I think I got it now. On the attack roll you roll 1d20 + appropriate modifier for weapon type + proficiency bonus (if applicable, but I cannot imagine many {or any} PCs using a weapon they aren't proficient with). On the damage roll it's simply the weapons attack die + the...

Thank you for bringing this up. Here is what I am meaning by my post. Using the Fighter with the Noble background out of the Starter Set trying to attack a Goblin with his Greataxe (assuming the Fighter has the higher initiative): Fighter would roll his attack roll. A d20 + his STR modifier...

Awesome! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! to everyone for clearing that up for me. Will make reading the Monster Manual even more fun, now that I know what the #'s mean. :D Not to derail my own thread, but I absolutely fell in love with the MM upon cracking it open and skimming through it...

Please help me here. I am about to DM a game and just cannot seem to wrap my head around how combat works. I have read the PHB rules many, many times, but cannot get it to sink in my head as an understandable concept. I think I have partially figured it out, but am still up in the air about...

Great thread idea. For myself, I cannot say that I have a personal favorite "gem", as I recently started collecting, but I am proud of my entire collection so far. For 5E I have: Player's Handbook Monster Manual Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle (print version) Vault of the Dracolich (print...

That's awesome. A great way to get into the game, to be sure. What lit the fire under me was a new co-worker who just happened to be a GM for Pathfinder. My friends had half way planned to start a D&D game, so I got really excited about the idea, and started reading a bunch. My friends elected...

I like this as well. Only have them fall if they roll double 1s. Seems a bit less punishing, and I am sure the players will appreciate not having a penalty for every 1 rolled. Admittedly, I have not yet DM'd a game (my first will be on Jan 11th) nor have I even played 5E yet (played a bit of...

I love this solution. This post made me LOL @ work. I bet the buddy who was the cover was not happy... Regarding rolling a natural 1. I am going to rule that if you are in combat, or doing something that requires DEX, then you will fall prone. I know some people don't like that idea, but I...

Speaking of Amazon, did you all notice the PHB went up to $36.09 now? :( I don't have mine yet, so I am hoping Wal-Mart will keep their online price down while I get the $$$ ready. B-)

I am currently playing Pathfinder and the GM is running us through Rise of the Runelords, and I have to say it is a LOT of fun. Our group is all experienced players (and experienced GM) with me being the only new comer to RPGs. The cool thing about RotRL is that it seems to give us endless...
