I let my players roll as well (and use 6x6 arrays) so they got some decent stats, but you have to remember that the standard array gives a +5 total mod, if you add up the mods for a character and it is wildly more or less than that then you can't run encounters designed for average adventurers...

Totally viable. One of the good things about level 1 5e and the starter set is that is that it's not very complicated. Keep it breezy and if there are rule questions go with common sense and make a note of it to look up later. Only area you might run into trouble with is spellcasters, might...

Ready has a trigger. I don't see anything in the rules that says you can't make your trigger "Once the goblins are done attacking, I stab the closest one" or "Once Jim takes his turn, I cast my readied spell". The only difference between that and a Delay action is the init order is not...

Your view of history seems a little off there. Biologicaly modern humans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Some culture must have existed for a long time but the reason history seems to start with the agricultural revolution is that for the first time in history there was enough...

That cow is out the barn door, down the street and on a plane for Vegas already with this thread.

I got this off the front page: http://5espellbook.azurewebsites.net/SpellIndexFilter It looks like a great way to make a spell book and then print out just the spells you need, can even print them as 4e style spell cards.

Remind yourself about inspiration. I expanded it a bit and pretty much gave it out for any RP or combat that I thought was awesome or fun but I still forget it half the time.

Yeah at least when I ran 4e and 2e Dark Sun it was always concurrent with the other settings. In my most recent adventure the players discovered a crashed spelljammer that was caught in The Grey long ago.

What you are missing is that some people like to complain. And what you are missing is that being rude helps nothing - Lwaxy

The existence of completely free basic makes this a strange complaint. Just run it forever, problem solved.

Reading about the Dungeonscape plans I kind of get a feeling that it may be the way Dungeon Magazine style small non-AP adventures get distributed and maybe Dragon style articles as well. If they were digital only they would not be showing up as future product releases. But it might be that...

Reading through the PHB in full it feels like there are tons of Greyhawk nods. Certainly more than Ebberon, Dark Sun, etc. One is definatley encouraged not to be a stickler about X is only part of world Y. I know my realms are going to be an amalgam of all the standard fantasy worlds and home...

That's an interesting one, almost too tight. I ran through ten of them (a small sample I know) and the total attribute bonus was always 5-7 only drew 2 17s and nothing lower than 8. Probably better for a long campaign than what I am doing.

GOGOGO! Hmm, I wonder if Woz plays..

Yeah I was actually inspired by this thread to call the issue, told him to make a fake FB account and set it to notify him by email if he wanted but the rest of us would be using it. My age group is right on the edge where guys are suspicious and don't see the utility in social media.. until...

Yeah what you created was creative and sounds fun but it is a reskinning of the Barb mechanics to make a Kensai like character. It does not rage, it's not a berserker style Barbarian.

Yep that's what they said, seems reasonable. But hey, go ahead and jump to the most cynical interpretation and fill in any missing information with conspiracy, the worst that can happen is you will be wrong.

Ugh, we have one member out of 8 who will not use Facebook or G+ even because he's a Luddite so we have to organize every game over email which most people only check rarely. Nothing to add, just wanted to vent.

It's about decisions. My character has a low Dex. I can decide to structure their class and race choice to allow them to use heavy armor, or I can expect to get hit more often in physical combat. I have a weakness and need to make a decision about how to deal with it. To a lot of people...

Just to reiterate, this is what has been said in the Morningstar/DungeonScape thread and is most likely the way PDFs will be distributed.
