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

    I'll see if I can find it... it should only be a few pages back. It's similar to what I'll say here, and the pictures above illustrate the same. I always assumed that you did. That part was the 'taking the piss' - part! I don't want to give you too hard a time, because I honestly sympathize...

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

    I mean, I did. ... I guess you didn't read my post, just like you didn't read the Read Me First or the Character Board! ZING! (With apologies. I truly mean this as a friendly 'take the piss' kind of post, so I hope it doesn't come off as overly mean).

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

    There are about, what, five or six threads, that are discussing this Starter Set. I haven't made a comprehensive post on what I think could be better, but I've discussed a few things on many of them. If you're interested, I could consider summing up my thoughts, but I don't think that - here -...

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

    That's true, but possibly overrated. They didn't though. They did the exact same thing that I did, only I did it with more groups (though some of my groups had a few experienced, or at least, 'have played a few sessions' players). I played with some people who didn't know which dice were which...

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

    They definitely aren't saying that. They have, though! That's not where I'd expect to find it. That's where I'd expect the rules around it to be. I'd expect the specific-to-each-character Save DC to be found on the Character Sheet, where it can clearly be seen. I suppose that your concern is...

    Sure. We've long ago established that this ain't the product for you.

    They were giving me some encouragement to get the round rolled. I'll see what I can do...

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

    In another thread I have seen you argue with teachers that kids ought to be able to read complicated texts, and yet here you are acting like a new D&D player will be stuck forever if things aren't explicitly spelled out for them. (And you're starting from information that is factually wrong...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake With their kayak freed, Shade-9 and Aywin landed with a splash in the "pit of teeth". By this time, Bjorn had hopped out of the water and came up near Guldred, who was being threatened by one of the lizardfolk guards. The guard waved his spear threateningly at the giant frog, as...

    So you're 9 hours ahead of PST, so your match would start tonight at 8pm.

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    I played S&L as a kid in Canada, but I haven't seen it since then. My own kids never played it, but then again, I owned a Game Store before they were born, so they grew up with Formula De, Catan, and Carcassonne. We definitely don't do that here. I think that sounds cool, but I've never heard...

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Yeah, it's just that one of them literally mentioned Yahtzee. I assume that others played other games. I was honestly lucky (and smart, I suppose) to have on-hand these cheap Chessex sets that are color-coded. The d20 is white, the d4 is yellow, etc. So you can say "roll the blue one" instead...

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    @JusticeArman I ran it this weekend at my Comic & Game Store. Many of the players had never before touched dice that weren't d6's from Yahtzee (or whatever). Age range varied from 9 to 60. They all enjoyed it, and a few bought their own copy to "keep going". I'd call that a big win!
