I'll play along and say that you are 100% correct. You could very well be spot on with that point, I'm not saying that you're not. If that is correct, it further proves that the product delivered to WoTC did not meet the standards they had set forth. It doesn't matter "what" standard it didn't...

Yes, but it wasn't approved by WoTC, so my reasoning still stands. Trapdoor were unable to develop a product to the standard that WoTC required, within the timeframe and bugdet alloted. They may have had something ready to go for the ipad, but that doesn't mean they met the obligations they were...

Add another Starter Set to this. My OCD forced me to pick up another copy at Barnes & Noble last night. :p

I have to laugh when people keep bringing up the deal with Trapdoor. Let's take a look at the facts. D&D was working with Trapdoor, so that Trapdoor could release officially licensed D&D digital tools. Nobody (outside of those two companies) knows exactly why that deal fell through, but...

This statement/opinion probably comes from lack of experience, so take it with a grain of salt. I see a lot of people mentioning that 5E is too rules light. I don't really see it that way. In a nutshell, I kind of look at it like this. The DM sets the stage, the players tell the DM what they...

Cool article, and a nice introduction to the series. I liked what was there, but honestly, didn't see a whole lot there. Like the the "Behind the Screen" article, I believe the first one is there as more of a primer so-to-speak, to whet our appetites and set the tone for future articles. So...

Good deal, that's the kind of information I was looking for. Personally, I like the milestone system for advancing levels. I am running a home brew campaign with a couple of different players and am not tracking experience there either. I am just leveling them up when they complete certain...

I have a question spurred by this comment, if you all don't mind. When saying they are woefully under level, are you suggesting I have them level up more frequently than their experience points would allow for? I have read that the encounters in HotDQ are difficult as well. Should I be...

Are any of those other brands held by a major corporation with public investors who are looking for a return on said investment? Honestly, I have no idea, but if that anser is "no" then there is your answer. Hope that helps.

Hello all, I am currently running my group through the LMoP adventure, and they're all dead set on moving to HoDTQ next, in fact, one of my players even bought the book and gave it to me to run when we're ready. :cool: I have read quite a bit about HoTDQ and am aware of it's detractors, but I...

Interesting, to say the least. I would assume that this website would be considered a fansite as it's not an official forum, correct? If the wording is that you aren't allowed to show any upcoming products and use logos at the same time, wouldn't this essentially restrict all RPG news sites...

If I had to venture a guess (and that's exactly what this is), I would say this is the closest to what we will see when the Genasi arrive in 5E. It makes the most sense as far as the layout of the PHB and how races are being handled. Have Genasi be the "main race" that gives you a stat boost...

Looking in all of the local game/comic shops (3 that I am aware of, and looked at), I am finding that the Starter Box, PHB, HotDQ, and Trot are all on 2nd impressions. After opening mine, it hit me that the ELM # is the key to knowing. ELM 1XX 14 and it's 1st impression. ELM 2XX 14 and it's 2nd...

I have 2 groups. Group 1 has me + 4 players. PHB = 2 (me + 1 player) MM = 1 (me) DMG = 1 (me) Starter Set = 2 (me + 1 player) HoDQ = 2 (me +1 player) TRoT = 1 (me) 5E WoTC DM Screen = 1 (me) ToD DM Screen = 1 (me) Color printed copies of the free basic PDF = 3 (me + 2 players) Group 2 has me...

Ok gang, I scoured the city all day and did find 1st print, first impression copies of HotDQ and TRoT. I had to pay full retail + tax, but it was worth it IMO, just to satisfy my collector OCD. I also picked up a starter set with "ELM 273 14" stamped on it (also at full retail + tax), but...

Our group has just been getting started (been playing for a bit over a month now) and so far, I am the only one with all 3 core books, but one of my players recently picked up the PHB. He is loving it, and I am hoping his enthusiasm will rub off on the others, so they too wll want to pick one...

Thank you for your input. This is exactly the kind of information that I am looking for. I am currently scouring the internet for close up pictures of the back of the box, to see if there might be any identifying markings there. (UPC perhaps?) I am afraid most people don't care about this kind...

It's not errors or errata that I am worried about. I am a bit OCD when it comes to collecting, and I like to have the first run of a product, if possible. If you look on any of the 3 core books, you will see a series of numbers (under where is says the first print date) that reads 987654321...

Quick question for the collector crowd. When buying the starter box, is there a way to determine what print impression you're buying, by looking at the outside of the box? As far as I am aware, the only way to tell is by opening the box and looking at the numbers on the included rule book...
