    D&D 5E (2014) What is WotC working on now?

    Didnt they say there was a Handbook, like Adventurer's Handbook being released with the Princes of the Apoc line? Edit: Seems the Adv. Handbook is a Sasquatch product.

    D&D 5E (2014) Retributive Strike does 800 points of damage!

    Nice... but I'd prefer a Sphere of Annihilation if we are freely picking. Or just hand Tiamat a Deck of Many Things.

    New 5E Adventures Coming From Goodman Games

    True. But back then, the rooms were sparse, the monster distribution made no sense, and there was barely any description. Any random dungeon generator can create a 1E dungeon these days.

    New 5E Adventures Coming From Goodman Games

    Agree ^^ Based on the review of Glitterdoom, a 13 chamber dungeon with an item or two and a new monster is not worth $10. Nor would I even classify it as an "Adventure" as they have.

    D&D 5E (2014) A running list of questions from a new player/new DM. Other n00bs please feel free to add in.

    Pre-gens are fine. Especially in a small starter game, like the 5E starter set. And especially for new players. Once you play a few levels or adventures with a pre-gen the desire to form your own character takes hold, and another magical part of D&D comes to life. Starting with a custom...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons: The "Dungeon Master's" edition.

    D&D 5E (2014) First time D&D player

    Depends on the situation.. If they have the time, no rush no worries, exploration at their leisure can be very old skool. But if time is important, make them aware. If they dont get the magical idol from the dungeon within 4 days the princess will be sacrificed and all will be lost.

    D&D 5E (2014) First time D&D player

    Which is fine if he wants to be involved in that aspect of the game, its interesting, detailed, and strategic. I would recommend starting him out as a single class character to start, and see how he goes. If he likes it, he can get involved in larger groups, which adds the social element to...

    D&D 5E (2014) First time D&D player

    MMORPG and Video Game players are used to a high level of detail, and interaction, but low amount of impact-able choices. They are used to seeing the meta of the game, examining the game components to understand what to do next. To really capture D&D for these players it is important to show...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is every Official Adventure Going to be about Saving the World?

    I imagine when they release the campaign sources with adventure paths, those wont be "end of the world" but more "setting tourguide".

    D&D 5E (2014) Ranger Favored Enemy - Expanded Crit Range?

    Agree. I think a slayer build would be a more elegant solution than just a patch. But for now your idea works. Maybe even grant the ranger advantage in the first round of combat against favored enemies. Cannot be surprised by them, etc.

    D&D 5E (2014) Initiative and Saves

    Its the meta game way to do it, but yes, the PC should ready the action for the BBEG to do anything, and then PC spell is cast. Now if the BBEG fails, he loses his action, and the full next turn goes, and the PC can ready a new action.

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice (and Help) Needed for a High Level 5E One Shot

    An evil or manipulative diplomat or king or queen with a few high powered supporters is much, much more evil than a random BBEG, dragon or what have you.
