Great seing xp back on the posts, appreciating it enough to necro this thread. ;)

I would buy digital content equal in amount to the PHB for around 20$. It's about what I payed for the physical PHB without the printing costs. (I payed 30$, printing in WotC-volume probably cost around 5-10$). There are some books I would probably buy in paper-format (Campaign setting, DMG)...

As a fellow developer, I think doing a really early beta (or alpha) is really important. I just wished they had crowdsourced it earlier. They have a really good feedback system, which should make it kind of easy for them to find where they need to improve or even re-engineer parts of the app. My...

I agree, there is no reason for the web version being sub optimal.

Because you are using a windows tablet like the surface? I am not as much reviewing the app as much as I am noting how far I think the app has to go. It feels more like an alpha than a beta since so many features are missing. Getting responses like: "This will be hard to do at this stage"...

The web version is even worse on a touch screen tablet than on a pc.

Yeah, the lack of visual clues is really disapointing, the user interface just feels un-intuitive. What's worse in my opinion is the lack of editing options. I haven't found a way of changing the skill selection for instance. There is no way to use a custom background. There is a "idea" on...

Are all corporate purchasers women? :hmm:

Actually, to have a magic item economy, there would have to be some volume of magic item transactions. Without it, the price of the magic items would be really situational. I think 5e assumes the latter. Because of this, there isn't any sense in setting the "list price" of a magic item. I do...

That's just so funny :D

I fully agree, it's not like this extra benefit will break the game.

KarinsDad yeah, pretty much agree to what you say here, especially the conclusion.

Yeah, epub or some similar format/approach would work a lot better. Epub is basically html, while the reader you use does the css, in other words, it's easy to change layout/borders/font size/etc depending on device.

Same here. I like adventures are more open-ended, and not an endless railroad towards the final module. It's why I like modules that covers a relatively small set of levels, usually three, but sometimes a bit more. Red Hand of Doom covers about 7 levels and is still pretty open. I bet it would...

I partly agree with you, especially when it comes to the dice rolling. I still can't get myself to roll hit/damage at the same time. I don't agree when it comes to the conclusion. If I was playing a Wizard at level 11+ (since you mention three attacks), you have quite a lot of spells known...

Well said! Also remember that 5e lets you vary the count of monster to a much larger degree than earlier editions* due to the slow-scaling bounded accuracy. Instead of using one monster per PC as is the norm in 4e, or one monster per group in 3e, you can use a large variety of fast, weak, slow...

I like simple monsters. I am currently running a 4e campaign and having three different monster types with a few different attack types and some special stuff actually slows me down as a DM. I would prefer most monsters to be simple, but with varying hp/damage output combinations, and a few...

If you had read the Wheel of Time series, the 5e way of doing exhaustion fits pretty well (up until you get magic that removes it).

The cr of 5e and 3e aren't comparable. Regarding the HP scaling, it's how 5e separates the levels. 3e used ac and attack bonus to a much larger degree
