I really hope they start at midnight WotC local time and have some official torrents set up as I picture their servers getting smashed otherwise. More info would be nice at this close date.

Well if they are going to go with all the classes from the PHBs 1e-4e why not cover all the races from the same?

I worry that the whole encounter ending/skipping spells thing could once again see the decent into the 15 minute adventuring day. It all depends how a group plays obviously but IME in editions prior to 4e when the casters had blown their encounter killing spells a wise party rested up. The...

If they can go a solid 5 years I will be alright with it. In a fantasy world I would love 10 years without major revisions but that seems unlikely given the DnD history of this century. I agree that they need to generate a monthly revenue stream through subscription services, it could really...

Looks like about 2.5 to 1 in terms of people having experienced the issue so far. I always like to see what other people experience at their tables as it varies so widely.

Suffice to say, yes you are lucky if you only play with uber DMs and a group of players who are all looking for the same experience in a way that only draws on one or two of the player motivation types that are compatible. Of course with that I imagine any system you play will be great fun

Related to the new L&L about Wizards I wanted to get an idea of how many here have experienced what Mearls is talking about.

While not everyone liked it bringing power level up is what 4e did by giving fighting types their own type of powers. Since there was negative backlash the problem of casters vs fighting types is back and need s to be dealt with in type V. Mearls did address the perceptual issues around the...

Like most of it conceptually. Lack of rituals would be a downside we will have to see. Bringing back IMO "problem" spells like Haste not a good thing. Related to that the idea of multiple attacks as standard for high level fighters very negative, total regression IMO from the faster one...

Hey all thanks for replying. I apologize for the weakness of my poll-fu. I should have definitely included linux and a none of the above option. If this would be more appropriate in the Media Lounge please move it Mods, or close it and I can start a new one there whichever is easier for yawl.

I wanted to just see general buy in of the posters here, a follow up poll could be do/would you use a certain device in your gaming.

I did assume by default that someone with none had some sort of desktop access, that or a really cool magic hat ;)

Wanted to get an idea of what sort of tech adoption rates we see here: Please check each one that applies.

A thought occurred to me, what will be the standard for whatever the public outreach version of Encounters etc that accompanies 5e?

Have you seen Old School Hack's system of arenas for fights? It sounds similar to what you are describing?

Shhhh... don't tell my wife, I have been with this hobby about three times as long as I have been married ;) More to the point not every combination is covered with the release of the early books, this was true in all of the editions i have played. It will be true of 5e also some races and...

So I take it you never saw the Slayer, Tempest, other types of fighters, etc. The only one not done easily is the archer. There is even a fighter who does well bare handed. It is the apparent lack of knowledge of the current status of 4e that makes threads like these so frustrating to me.

Yes please!

I think they just need to get about 60% towards an OGL and, this being the most important, get it out with enough lead time and encouragement as companies due with new consoles that they want to be successful. Get enough names on board with an app store approach, leverage Ipads, Kindles, Xbox...

DnD Kreo would be a lot of fun I think and help spread the game to younger players. 3d dungeon sets, traps minis it would be great for Hasbro to get on board with leveraging DnD in new areas
