Here's a famously epic fight, and it's almost all misses (counting blocks as misses): http://youtu.be/lC6dgtBU6Gs

His analogy (not strawman) was perfectly reasonable.

Not the point. The point was, Sting had been lost...buried in a cave for a very long time. An adventurer (bumbling or not) found it. It wasn't at Magic 'R' Us available for purchase.

Haven't ready through the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned The Black Cauldron? It was a so-so Disney adaptation of a really great (and very "D&D") series of books. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088814/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Bard is awesome in 5e, and can help out with healing. Since our group also has a cleric, my bard is more focused on support, softening, and ranged combat. You don't need a rogue, but they're pretty awesome, so why not? If you're running published adventures, you may need to adjust the...

Right...because Bilbo just walked into a shop, browsed around, and purchased Sting. Right? Oh, wait, no...Sting was a truly rare item. When Bilbo didn't need it anymore, he didn't pop down to the local pawn shop and sell it, he handed it down. That should be the default behavior of magic items...

I'm considering doing this myself...although I'll probably still use actual minis for the PCs and use PAWNS for all monsters.

Perhaps if a character is proficient with the whip, allow them to disarm an opponent with it...Indiana Jones style. While not dishing out a ton of damage, that can be very helpful to the party.

In my game I've decided the more mundane magic items (+1 weapons, etc.) might be found in a large city, but only if you know where to look. It's going to take some time to find the right contacts and build up goodwill. Those with better magic items aren't going to part with them. Now, those that...

A few years ago I introduced my niece (then age 4) and nephew (then age 8) to The Princess Bride. They've been quoting it ever since. Just doing my part to educate a new generation...I've also got them hooked on Ultraman and Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

Prior to the GotG movie the overwhelming majority of moviegoers had no idea who any of those characters were. My GF loved the movie, but certainly had never heard of Groot. Make a good movie with compelling characters and it certainly can be successful.

(Fully realizing this question wasn't posed to me...) Not specifically, but I've used them more than once to explain D&D to people.

They're pack-ins in the starter set. So, once yours arrives you'll have them.

One thing you could do is use each monsters max HPs instead of the avg. That should make them a bit tougher. If the party is still breezing after a couple fights, maybe increase the number of foes. You also may want to consider having your players adopt portions of the pre-gen character...

Ordered yesterday morning. No email receipt/confirmation, and no way to log in. I, too, have tried to reset the password to no avail. I've received literally no emails in the past 30 hours. I'll wait until Monday then try to contact them.

If I walk up to someone in a bar (IRL), take a swing and miss, nothing is going to happen except him likely taking a swing back at me. Nothing happens on a miss for a reason: it was a miss.

Seems to me WotC is doing a fine job of revitalizing the brand of D&D. As of last night when I checked, the PHB was #100 on the Amazon Book Sales list. That's #100 out of all books they sell, regardless of type. Children's books, novels, cookbooks, diet books, medical books, you name it. 100 out...

Adventurers League is NOT store only. From the AL website, first page: Private play includes home play and online play. Adventures themed around the current D&D storyline are considered official for D&D Adventurers League, so if you’re playing at home, you can still participate by picking up...
