Team Caves Shamal slashed his swords into the nearby Cultist, who fell to the ground among glowing green crystals. Urgan moved southwestward, away from the largest piles of crystals, but only the ones furthest away began to dim their glow. Torhak cut down the remaining armored dog. Then he and...

It is, indeed! Don't worry - You. Will. Be. Judged.

Sure, it happens. It's not the only place that the same information is given, as seen in other posts. But if you're not finding it by reading AND not finding it by looking at the pictures, then yeah, you're not finding it - but it's there.

I am certain that it will be. Your judge is, I think, waiting for a bit to see if there was any chance of a change of heart on behalf of your competition. I suspect that you'll see your judgement tomorrow.

It's more like different content. Yeah, it's a lot less words, and it's not content that Micah is interested in, but it's content that's worth quite a bit (in fact, I'm positive that WotC makes WAY LESS MONEY per unit on the Starter than they do on the PHB). Believe it or not, it's still a...

Yeah, I understand what you mean, but I whole-heartedly disagree with you. I get that you had a bad experience, and maybe you're right that FOR YOU (and your group) it would have been a better idea, but for most people (I've taught a LOT of people to play D&D) this Starter is the best thing that...

Okay, @humble minion & @bedir than, your ingredients will be posted at 9am PDT September 26th (or just under 15 hours from the time-stamp on this post). I pushed it back an hour from my suggestion to get it done before bedir's conference, but not so much that you don't get enough warning.

OKAY, so Match 2 will be @humble minion vs @bedir than. When shall we start? You both okay with tomorrow? Let me know if September 26 at 10AM PDT is too early for you. I could push it back to later in the day, if you prefer.

... That said, yes, you need people to not actively work against themselves learning new things. (Note: I am NOT saying that @GreyLord's group were doing that, at least, not on purpose. As I've tried to point out before: Mistakes happen.)

I make no assumptions about what people know and don't know when I teach people to play D&D - it's just soooo much easier to succeed that way!

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...

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).

Okay! It's time to think about scheduling Match #2! @Whizbang Dustyboots @humble minion @bedir than @Onelung @AustinHolm @GMMichael I need TWO of you to step up to the plate! Who thinks that they'll be ready to go in the next day or two? Any particular start time that you'd prefer? @Gradine...

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 -...

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...

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...

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...
