The full uncropped picture is MUCH better. Thanks for the link.

Ok all, I think I finally rolled up my first complete character a couple of days ago, and am now trying to learn exactly how combat works. I think I understand the basics, please correct me, or fill in things I am missing. :) 1. Roll for initiative. This means everyone rolls a d20 + DEX...

Then why is everyone waiting until January to see if there will be an OGL? Or am I missing something important here?

Please excude my ignorance here all, but what does having an OGL allow that isn't already being done by companies like Goodman Games? http://www.goodman-games.com/5eproducts.html

Thanks for the maps. I downloaded them for future use. :) We have 100% decided to run the starter box first and foremost. We all agree since we are new, then it's probably the best way to break all of us in. I am thrilled to see so many positive reviews for this adventure. The debate, is...

This looks pretty cool. Just sent a mass text to everyone I know who may be interested. I will be in if there are no booster packs of anything needed to play ie. everything needed to play is in the box. I quit Magic: The Card Game (he he) because it simply became a money pit. (S)He who...

+1 Thank you. :)

As a noob who is about to DM for a group of noob players, I want to see quality 5E modules. I have talked to some of the players individually, and that seems to be the general consensus among them as well. They all seem (so far) to be happy with the choices available to them, so I don't feel...

I have to admit, these look really cool. Now for the question of the day. How are you guys going to be able to get around copyright issues? Wouldn't these monsters be part of some protected likeness clause or something? :confused:

It may be the future, but I don't like it at all. I have never purchased any software that requires being online in order to use it. Free software, yes. Purchased software, not one bit. Big difference IMO. My first PC had a CD ROM. Yes, I still have some of those CDs. The ones I cared about...

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the idea of any software that isn't self contained. To me, any software that's "cloud based" means that I actually buy nothing, instead, I pay my money to get a GUI to access stuff online. IMO anything cloud based means "bad deal" for me. I feel I actually...

Thanks for the info guys. :) I wasn't actually building a character. I finally got a printed copy of the Player's Basic Rules, and last night was the first time I have had the opportinuty to sit down with it. I decided to read the entire PDF like it's a book, in a hope to glean as much info as...

OK gang, I have yet another character building question. In the character description for the High Elf race, the Player's Basic Rules state (on page 15) "Cantrip. You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it". I read this to...

LOVE IT!!!

They are magical and weightless.... j/k, but I would probably rule that way if it came down to a situation where a PC had to drop an item to avoid going over their carrying capacity.

OK, that makes a LOT more sense. How I didn't catch that is beyond me. LOL! Thanks for your help. :)

^^^ Excellent ideas. Thank you for those. :) ^^^ Ok guys, another character building question. I finally got a printed copy of the Player's Basic Rules v0.2 today and decided to sit down and create a character, now that I can easily flip back and forth between pages. To remove all...

This idea is GREAT! It has a LOT of potential for surprise twists, cool things to discover, etc. Underground societies with high tech (or traditional middle earth tech), maybe a village atop a tall mountain (that is nearly impossible to get to) that are wanting to rid the world of it's...

Excellent thread. As a new RPG'r myself, it's great to read other stories of new players. I think it's awesome that you and your brother are able to share the fun with your father, and that your wife and children are interested and involved as well. It sounds like a lot of fun, and many great...

Excellent thread, and I am glad this came up. I am planning to do the same thing. I am going to run my players through LMoP, then move to HotDQ, and then to TRoT. They already know this is the plan, so I am glad there is a way to make this work. Great ideas and tips in here. :)
