Yes I am borrowing some inspiration from previous editions/versions of the playtest, but I believe I will allow partial spell list preparation. However, I believe the spellcaster should be rested, therefore later preparation can only be done immediately after a rest. Nothing in the RAW states or...

Not a lot of help, I know, but I beleive this will be available in the Wizards core stores 11 days earlier, on Oct 23, like all the other WotC D&D releases have been.

Deleted because I was wrong.

Ahh. Right you are. I was just looking at the dragon entries, where nothing is mentioned about the age catagory of dragon in regards to lairs. But page 11 does describe legendary creature lairs, and does state the activation of lair actions is by legendary creatures. Also, not all legendary...

Note that the lair actions are the same for all dragons of a type, regardless of age of the dragon(s). If it's a red dragon, whether wymling or ancient, the lair actions are the same (presumably the wyrmling is living with mommy and daddy). edit: Replace "wyrmling" with "adult" Also, I would...

I would say, it is one lair, the lair only gets one action. But the actions would continue until all who can claim the lair are killed.

As a player, I enjoy combat hard most of the time, with a rare deadly tossed in. But at the apprentice levels, easy to medium are in order to be able to get the feel of the character. I want to feel challenged, but I like to think that if we play smart we should be able to make it out alive. I...

That is the character sheets download, not the adventure. edit: Or rather the pregen character sheets.

Yeah, I guess "a couple years" for me really means 5-10 years.

How to vote is the question. I would like to see a monthly short adventure released, to keep a new product out there. Plus the two adventure arcs and a Monster Manual/Campaign Sourcebook per year. I don't want to see a PHBII for at least a couple more years. The monthly adventures could be...

I have had fun finding a cool mini, then creating the character. As a DM I've designed some great npcs that way. I've also used some monsters that I had previously ignored.

Thanks for the heads up on their War Machine system. I will check that out. Around our store, minis were almost always the norm (for 33 years), but we had some very good, even professional, painters from the very beginning, so that encouraged the minis use. Players liked having a painted mini...

Actually, 2e was over 6 years before Combat & Tactics brought in the optional assumption of miniatures. And were are nearly a year into 5e, so just 7 years out of 40. And I am not sure how much of Basic D&D expressed the use of miniatures. But yes, the assumption by game designers that...

Some interesting ideas in this thread. Since exploration and the environment are major factors in my campaign (we have combat only about once every 2 or 4 game sessions), I may look at campfire building being a survival check at disadvantage without the proper tools, if the environment is not...

Some of the boxes, like Dwarf NPCs, are jam-packed. Some, like my Dwarf PCs, are just 1 or 2 to a compartment.

I've used minis for almost every game played since I started playing (well, since the third game I ever played back in early AD&D). And since I collected ALL of the D&D prepaints, I have most everything covered without needing to proxy. The picture covers about 2/3 of my collection.

Yes, the participating game stores do have to purchase the free products. We sign up and decide how heavily we want to participate, but we have no choice in what we get, only in how many. We can purchase 1 or more "kits", which are all alike. Each kit contains 15 of each "platinum sponsor"...
