    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    I just looked it up after my last post and yes, it appears they do. I couldn't recall how much I paid for each, but it looks like they cost the same amount.

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    One of the BIG points of my post (maybe I didn't make it clear enough) was that the Starter Set did such a bad job of introducing players how to play it would have been far easier (and less time consuming since I am familiar with the rules already on my part) that instead of giving each new...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Well, I gave three of them to my players, so technically they are their sets. The one which I share with a friend...I don't know. Maybe. Depending on where you live and if my friend is done with it (no guarantees that they are, I don't know at this point).

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    You can PM me and send me the actual post you addressed my issue with? Or you can post it again if not too much trouble. I saw you attempted to post pictures but they didn't show up for me in the thread. I also don't like your characterization that I did not read the Read Me First. I did...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    This is what gets me about this thread though. It's made for new players. If the new players miss something and don't understand how to do it, who's fault is it? Is it the box which is made for the new players, or do you blame it on the new gal/guy? Or, to put it in a different context in a...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 D&D Starter Set - Your turn to design

    So, this is an interesting dichotomy. The PHB does a great job of introducing people to the game, especially the 2014 version. It goes in detail what each thing is and introduces them to each item. What is a race/species. What is a class. How do they work. etc. It's also a lot of reading...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Actually, I did not for the most part. People simply did not address what I said was wrong with it and then glossed over what I said. For example, NO ONE...AT ALL has addressed the actual save issue. I even quoted what the section under the Saves stated. It actually directs you to look at...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Depends on what they want to use. Adventure and maps are absolutely something experienced players could make good use of. Experienced players may even like using the player boards and other items if they like things like the D&D adventure board games (Castle Ravenloft, etc). There are...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Just because someone doesn't say the word badwrongfun doesn't mean they aren't saying exactly that. As I said, a lot of people have said I was wrong, but almost NO ONE has actually addressed the issues that I pointed out. For example, the big one...Saving Throws. I've mentioned it several...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    For experienced players, I'd say this module is actually pretty decent. It's a decent sandbox an experienced DM can do a LOT with. Considering the cost of most adventures coming out today from WotC, this one won't break the bank. It has a lot of components that make it extra pretty as well...

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    Does that mean I could be related to an Emperor of Japan or Emperor of China? What if most of my relatives are...from the Continent of Africa in origin. That's a bit of a ways away. Does it still work?

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Personally, I'd say a LOT of people in the thread. However, because they are pro-WotC no matter what WotC puts out, it's not really seen that way on these forums. I'm okay with it. At least I've expressed my thoughts on the box (and no one here has really changed my feelings on it. There's...

    Spoilers Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    Of course, in Pyle's Robin Hood Legends, Robin is pardoned by King Richard, but eventually Robin once again crosses the Law and thus becomes an outlaw in King Richard's Realm as well. If I recall correctly, Robin dies an outlaw, and with his last breath shoots an arrow out a window (not at the...

    The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer

    This would be a greater deviation from Star Wars than the Sequel Trilogy. However, as long as they made it as a non-connected to Canon, total parody of it...A movie like this would ROCK!!! Hard. I think it would l have a hard R-rating though (something no Star Wars film has ever had to my...

    Paizo Pathfinder Quest

    I have no idea TBH. I've seen how it looks like it plays and that they have different scenarios and a campaign card to keep track of choices...but I honestly have no idea. Probably only the playtesters would know at this point. If I had to guess, I'd guess it would be similar to the...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    I told them to read through the materials and have their characters ready and prepped so we could start to play the game immediately when I arrived. They, themselves, as we went through getting the things set up said that there was nothing in the book to tell them to do this. When I went...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    I think they understood it, the set just wasn't made for people who may boardgame, but do not understand RPGs. On top of that, every starter Set (basic sets or things like the Essentials Kit is different) I've played is a sit down and run type of game. Except for prepping the dungeon everyone...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Currently, at 1st level at least, they cards are not shared overall. The only card that may be shared between classes are the ones that come on the background or race cards from what I've seen. That's because the set normally only has one spell card and only one class or individual can use...

    D&D General Who is this made for (Not Beginners) - the New D&D Starter Set

    Well, everyone there was an experienced board game player...and yes...we've played chess. One of them can whip me pretty badly at chess. I'm not sure of their rating but they play online apparently in a somewhat competitive online community (I don't play online and so I am unsure how that...
