WotC has posted some information on running the Starter Set as part of Organized Play. Information on organizing a game, and rewards. Also has links to character sheets and log sheets!

I think they have nimble-fingered goblin slaves for that.

I'm sure most people agree with you. My fiancée, who is brand new to D&D with the 5e playtest, was commenting how nice it was that the bonuses are predominant in the pregen character sheets, since that's what's relevant. I get that. But something AD&D in me wants to put the focus on the sore...

I'm guessing he pushed the limits of his wizardry too far and became a nothic. That or went to astronomy camp. I'm guessing nothics make good astronomers.

It was mentioned that these are probably from the Bestiary, hence extra monsters. Monsters appearing in the adventure will probably have descriptions in the adventure. This leaves more room for more monsters. Also, it only takes a Google search to see pictures. Also, imagination. That was...

Well, given that the full rules are not available until August, and even the basic rules are a week away, I think maybe people are probably being impatient. It is an interesting question to ask whether this kind of information will appear in the DMG or "DMG" addendum to the free PDF. (Or for...

One thing to watch out for is that it only comes with five pregenerated characters, so you may need to create an additional character if you end up with six kids. The free PDF should be coming out at the same time, so hopefully this will be easy to do. Additionally, you may want to make a tweak...

Kobold Press has an article up by Steve Winter. Tiamat Tuesdays: Maintaining Focus.

I've been play-testing with three players who are completely new to the game. I think this works out very well. I don't see it as reversing the trend. Quite the opposite, in fact. This is the most streamlined version yet. You already have your ability scores, you already use those bonuses (and...

Seriously, what's up with this art? I mean dwarves don't even exist!!! ​ FAIL

There is a lot of good discussion in the video about how Rich Baker provided a lot of opportunities for non-violent roleplaying, including a sidebar with info on how to deal with a scenario where the PCs try to trick the denizens. Sounds like a lot of good stuff for new players.

I'm very much with you here. If people have interesting things to say, I can listen. But prima donna posturing or complaining, I have little patience for. I don't care much about what other people think the right way to roleplay is. I'm still trying to figure out how to read these forums...

Interesting, maybe. But appropriate as the baseline generic fantasy setting that new players will expect? None of them are. Further, since any new setting they created would have to be relatively generic, there's no point in recreating the wheel. Most of the above will ultimately be supported in...

You sure can, can't you. Great contribution.

Where did you here that? Edit: more to the point, 5e is not set in the realms. The OP adventures are.

I think it should be fairly easy. Just be careful with the monster math, as some of the statistics may have changed. One thing the Kobold Press folks mentioned about the difficulty of writing the Tyranny of Dragons adventures was that they would use some monsters, send stuff off to have...

I consider the Q&A and Legends & Lore articles to be pretty good preview articles. I'd like to see more, of course, but I think they've shared a fair amount. (Not to mention, I've been previewing the game with my group for the last year, whenever we can get together.)

I already tried! But apparently I recently XP'd him before. :( That comment is definitely the highlight of the thread so far. (The command spell itself would probably be if I hadn't already seen it on twitter.)

I suck at painting minis, but I still do it because it's the most Zen experience I can get. If I could paint the way these minis are painted, then it might be worth it, but at my skill level, it's definitely not worth it. Also, resin is relatively fragile, so I'll stick to painting metal and bones.
