I got my basic set, and I kind of dig what's going on, but damn, my players really hate D&D since our try at 4e. Essentially, I had 5 people swear off D&D for ever and switched to pathfinder (which is kind of wearing thin on me lately simply due to all the petty modifiers leftover from that...

Medical doctor ordered errors kill 150 per day. It surpasses the outbreak every 10-20 days It seems the worst advice is to go to the hospital ;)

SPOILER ABOUT ADVENTURE WITHIN That is an excellent point about being related to the scenario material. That itself probably justifies this selection more than anything else. That it is being treated as "artwork for the module" is standard practice, although I think they could have added a...

I want some elemental discussion of the art, rather than "me too" or "not me" posts. jh

Sales metrics have repeatedly and reliably proven that the cover of a product directly affects sales. (quick reference: http://blog.kissmetrics.com/color-psychology/) At this point, I'm not arguing whether or not I "like" the cover. I'm saying it's inappropriate for sales with the multiple...

Did they use the drab gray and GREEN to be".. warm and inviting, lending customers a pleasing feeling.. denotes health, environment and goodwill. Finally, green is the color of money, so it creates thoughts of wealth.."? Terrible idea for Dungeons & Dragons sales of a product...

Well, that's a start. The dragon does look menacing :) I suppose learning how to discuss art objectively is a learned skill much like discussing math equations for 3rd edition :) The use of drab colors in the current cover makes me want to compare to the other covers...well.... They have...

What elements do you guys like about the cover? As specifically as we all love to talk about rules, what do you like about it? Otherwise you're just making the equivalent of a "me too" or "not me" post. How is it that you feel this art is more appropriate to selling a "starter set" than...

Yes, reviewing older covers, the black box has big contrast, but like the new boxed set, not much else going on. Plus, is that even a dragon? It [black box] looks like a chubby daemon cherub ;) My biggest complaint with the new boxed set is the objective (not subjective) finding that there...

1980/81 a friend of mine got the red and blue boxed sets (otis covers) during a Webelos trip. I, having been raised with a strange sense of religious fantasy (old bible stuff) and drawing knights, dragons and crap and stuff immediately fell in love with his game. My parents got the set for me...

I'm sorry, this topic has probably been attacked to death, but I got my Starter Set for 5e and immediately saw that "blah" art. What the heck? Are they attempting to save money? The artwork is incomplete and... blah... Isn't the year 2014? Didn't we get overwhelmed with every marketing...

I still think that more GMs could solve this problem by stopping with the rocket launchers and instead implementing more non-hit-point dilemmas: hostages diplomacy diplomacy that doesn't suck/boring that actually has character power consequences progressive insanity that has power consequences...

I ran convention games for years. There seems to be a bizzare element of intolerant players who occasionally emerge who have trouble with players who don't min-max/robot their characters. During my Living Greyhawk and Pathfinder Society days, I've seen huff-puff (and even punches thrown)...

I think that's why I house rule every system that I play. D&D has been no exception for over 30 years. I find that the more difficult a system makes house ruling, the more more difficulty a system has with dealing with non-number-crunching player characters.

Doesn't this imply that D&D isn't able to handle players who want to buck the system? I'd argue instead it has little to do with the system, and 95% to do with the adventures. jh

Thats great! Thanks :) jh
