That does. Thank you for your answer/help. :)

Thank you to all who are participating ITT. I am learning, not only from my own questions, but from the questions of others as well. I appreciate all who are asking, and answering questions posted here. :) I have another kind of random question really, and it's one that was spawned when...

To those running these adventures: Are you using the various kits that were available, or do the PDF versions on D&D Classics come with everything you need to run these modules? I am curious as I paid some fairly good money (on an online auction web site) to buy the physical copies of Vault of...

Add me on the list of people that don't have ANY of the 5E core books, an even more sadly, not the Starter Box yet either. With just now getting into the hobby, still trying to get the 1E reprints (and I also ended up getting the Pathfinder Beginner Box), and Chirstmas around the corner, I...

Thanks for the info Was, but I will most likely end up just playing with this group. They seem like good guys, and I don't really have the time to keep up with another game, to be honest. My work schedule is a bit weird.

Hello all, As the thread title states, I played Pathfinder for the first time on Saturday. In fact, this was the first time that I had played ANY tabletop RPG. A guy who just started at work is the GM for the game (and the only person there I knew) and he just happened to be starting up the...

Thanks for the info all. Does the inside of PHB tell you what printing they are on? Maybe this was an issue confined to a batch of 1st printing only? From the sound of it, I think should be pretty safe though.

Seeing these reports really makes me paranoid about picking up the physical copies of the new D&D books. I am SUPER excited to jump an and start playing, but not being experienced, I will need to use all of these books rather heavily. I am just worried that I will plunk down my money, and end up...

I actually bought the Pathfinder beginner box (sadly, I haven't been able to get the D&D box yet though), so I have the flip map and paper pawns that came with it. I thought it was a really nice kit, to be honest, and it made me wish WOTC would have included some cool extras like that as well. I...

WOW! A lot of great information here all. I cannot thank you enough for the help! :) I think I am going to try to run without maps or minis and see how everyone responds to it. I think we will be fine, especially running the starter box. When we move on from there, I am thinking I like the...

I want to sincerely thank everyone for their input. Now for my next question(s), I would like to dive into the use of maps and minis. I see many people getting excited about cool maps. Are maps needed? If so, do you need a copy for each player? Does the DM use a special version of the map...

Thank you for the help and advice guys. I really do appreciate it! It's knowing this type of stuff that really helps out in ensuring we have a fun gaming experience. :)

Question number one is an easy one. My friends asked me "What do we need to buy to start playing?" My answer was "I think we just need the starter box to get started". How accurate that answer is, I am not sure. I think the answer will be. 1. We all need a set of RPG dice. 2. We all need...

Hello everyone, If you have seen my posts in other threads, you have probably realized that I am loaded up with a lot of questions. If you're not familiar with any of my posts, I will do a quick introduction. I am new to tabletop RPGs, but have played some older video game RPGs in the past...

WOW! That's some great stuff there. Thanks for the tips! This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. :) BTW, I assume when you say worlds calendar, then you are talking about using a regular calendar to track the passing time in your game setting/campaign world?

I am in the same position as the OP. New player, and picked to be the DM. I think it will be a lot of fun and plan to run the starter set to begin with. OP, from what I have read, the starter set is really good, and the adventure really walks the DM through it with good detail on what to do...

While we are hashing out rules, and how you like to run them, I am completely lost on how you would handle the passage of time as a DM. From Players Basic rules version 0.2, page 63/115: Time In situations where keeping track of the passage of time is important, the DM determines the time a...

Thanks for the info Trancejeremy. I appreciate the help. :)

This thread is awesome and is getting me even more excited to jump into 5E with my other non-seasoned friends. It looks like we are not going to have an issue with trying to make the rules fall into an earlier editions rules (as we don't know them) and will give us the freedom to interpret (and...

Sorry for the double post, but I have another n00b terminology question. What does it mean when people say "min-max" your character?
