    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon and the DMG: What's the story?

    Thanks a lot for the code. I was hoping another one would pop up. Here's to hoping they contine with more codes for discounts on any book we choose. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anybody else wish that WOTC would release paper pawns, similar to Paizo?

    This thread caused me to look at these, to see what they were, and I have to say from the pics that they are pretty cool looking. Judging by the pictures only, I would take 5E Monster Vaults and be just as happy as I would with the paper pawns, to be honest. I still think the paper pawns are...

    Please define a couple of common terms I see used on here

    Thanks again all. I keep reading/hearing about Meta-Gaming. I see the term being used, but am not 100% what it really means to meta-game. Youtube guys seems to use it a bit differently from each other as well. Some seem to look at in a bad light, while others use the term casually, as if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anybody else wish that WOTC would release paper pawns, similar to Paizo?

    RE: Mini requirement to run 5E games. I know that minis aren't required for 5E. 5E may even be the edition that makes it the easiest to remove them (matter of opinion I suppose) from game play. Using pawns/minis in 5E are (IMO) akin to having accessories that you like, such as a dice tower...

    Edition Wars

    I just finished watching all of these. Too funny. I really liked all of them. Favorite episodes are The Cliche and The Thief. The Cliche would have been #1, but the DeVil-D bit is seriously funny!!! :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anybody else wish that WOTC would release paper pawns, similar to Paizo?

    If they are an official or officially licensed product with quality equal to Paizo's pawns, I would be willing to pay the equivalent cost for WOTC's version. Yeah, the entire Monster Manual (with multiples of monsters that would be found in groups), plus packs to cover all official 5E...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anybody else wish that WOTC would release paper pawns, similar to Paizo?

    For sure, I am already planning to do that. The issue that I found was that the PF pawns aren't going to have the same races & classes of D&D, but that can be worked around with getting "close enough". IMO, the biggest challenge with using them is that the monsters aren't the same. Sure...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anybody else wish that WOTC would release paper pawns, similar to Paizo?

    Hello all, I am new to RPGs and have started playing in a bi-weekly Pathfinder game, and have been elected by my friends to DM a D&D 5E game. In preparation for playing Pathfinder for the first time, I decided to buy their beginner box a little while ago. All I can say is WOW! It's very...

    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon's current ranking of the DMG.

    Now at #41, so it updates fairly rapidly. Not sure of the frequency though.

    The DUNGEON MASTER'S GUIDE is out today!

    Congrats to all who were able to complete the trifecta. Is it ok to admit that I am jealous? :p LOL!

    Mearls announces end of Legends & Lore & New D&D Columns in 2015!

    Hey all, a bit of a stupid question here... As this column will be titled Unearthed Arcana, do you think WOTC has any plans to take all of these articles and compile them into a 4th rulebook of the same name, similar to 1E Unearthed Arcana? While I like the idea of new content coming out on a...

    D&D 5E (2014) A running list of questions from a new player/new DM. Other n00bs please feel free to add in.

    Thank you all for the clear explanations. I think this stuff will make more sense when I have a physical copy of the PHB and can "sit down to read it", be able to quickly flip back and forth between pages, etc. Maybe it's just me, but I find trying to use the PDF file as a reference manual a...

    D&D 5E (2014) A running list of questions from a new player/new DM. Other n00bs please feel free to add in.

    Ok gang, good news. I had a long chat with the player who didn't want to use the pre-generated characters, and explained why I felt it was important to do so for the starter kit. He is now on board with using them to get started! :D We discussed the idea of running through the starter box, then...

    D&D 5E (2014) A running list of questions from a new player/new DM. Other n00bs please feel free to add in.

    Thanks all for your input and thoughts. It looks like my idea to simply roll with the pre-gen characters through the beginner box is the best way to go. I am not sure how stuck on the idea of not playing these characters he is, but I think once I can get everyone sat down together and explain...

    D&D 5E (2014) A running list of questions from a new player/new DM. Other n00bs please feel free to add in.

    Ok gang, I may have a bit of an issue with one of my players before we even get started. He, along with another player, went tonight to look at the starter set and realized that is has pre-made characters to use in with the included adventure. My buddy called and said he was freaking out at...

    Reviewing Chris Perkins

    Ok, so the video I watched is NOT the same crew of people that seem to be in the PAX videos. Here is the video I watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzmpkaZEe6I I am thinking I need to start watching the PAX videos, and I see there are some videos that feature some of the guys who work...

    Reviewing Chris Perkins

    Having never heard of Chris Perkins until spotting this thread yesterday, I looked him up on youtube and watched most of a video where he was DM'ing at a convention of some sort. I would have finished it, but I had to get to sleep for work today. While I did find the video highly entertaining...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are the 5E playtest adventures worth buying?

    I see that Legacy of the Crystal Shard is now available commercially in a physical format that contains a 64-page setting book describing Icewind Dale and its inhabitants, a 32-page adventure book, a four panel foldout DM screen keyed to the adventure, and an illustrated folder. From the way...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are the 5E playtest adventures worth buying?

    Thank you for your input. This makes me feel MUCH better about my purchases. I thought I had been kind of "ripped off" (for lack of a better term) when I had discovered I was missing a LOT of stuff that was included in these kits to begin with. Good to know they can be ran regardless. :) A word...
