Also, unlike the 4e 3d VTT, at no point in the demo did it crash. (Someone had to say it, well maybe they didn’t, but it is true!)

Did we see an area attack spell? There is a breath weapon with lots of dice and it does seem to hit several targets, with damage indicated for each.

…and the kobolds, also on the PHB cover.

Is that the gold dragon mini you get from preordering the D&D Beyond bundle?

Yes there is some rules adjudication built in. But right now I still have more questions then answers.

Looks like they started at about 5 central US time and have been playing for an hour. Edit: so maybe in 20 to 30 minutes. The preview begins

They are playing. And maybe not for long.

Is it coming up? Just them playing at this point.

Is that a particularly positive response? Very few are voting for switching to buying, even with a pretty massive push by the WotCs. Reactions are not 4e negative, but they do not seem 5.0/next or even 3.5 positive either.

it certainly has! They have fixed a lot of little things, but also made choices regarding aesthetics, complexity, and all around fiddlyness that I do not love. I will still give it a try. But 5ever may only last so long.

I see your point, but what you are describing IS Roll20.

I like it, it cleanly presents the dragon and gives it some interesting options. But speaking of CR, what does it mean in a case like this? 4 characters of what level would find this challenge? I think they would be lower than 20.

A CoC gm running 4e, maybe not a perfect match. But there were also core flaws with 4es math and assumptions that could make combat too grindy, and those of us that stuck with it had to find ways to deal. Out of combat, you also needed rituals, and to push for the same stuff that you would have...

So Retreater, I have noticed a pattern with these threads, but speaking of patterns. You did manage to cover several of 4e’s greatest hits: (perceived) dependence on an online/computer character builder, too much focus on combat, highly tactical fast playing combat that was the system’s main...

This does various things I have had in past games in a straight forward way and can easily be elaborated on. I like it!

In terms of starting this fast growing thread, the motivation is not semantics or the “e” word. It’s that WotC is on the record that this is a lot of change. If we take them at their word, then it’s all kinds of different. And better, as there is very strong encouragement to switch to 2024. But...

“Dungeons and Dragons 6” is pretty good.

I have had that same journey. In theory I would like to use XP for all sorts of things, but I know the hassle factor is to great in practice.

In this video: Jeremy Crawford goes out of his way to say how much has changed for the coming whatchamacallit. A lot of new! different! better! In fact he goes so far as to imply that there is as much change as there has ever been from one core to another. (Reworking I think is the exact...

There all in pdf…and this was early for PDF. I don’t remember if there was a search function, but it’s great resource in any case.
