    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 2: Settings

    I feel that without including the TSR novels for each line, it does it a deep disservice for how much it would actually cost. If someone was that much of a completest to collect all that material during TSR's time period, they surely would have been also fervently collecting the novels at the...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 1: Editions

    The initial run of 3e PHB's were $20. They did quite a massive run (though rather quickly went through them) and kept the price down due to this for that first year or so.

    D&D General Should the third Forgotten Realms DLC have actually been set in the Forgotten Realms?

    What about an option of...don't care? Nah...but probably one that says...I'm not saying yes, but I don't have a problem with what they doing. Meaning...It wouldn't have been bad to have another FR specific supplemental DLC in it's place, but this DLC isn't a bad thing either.

    D&D General Weapons should break left and right

    Look Ma! I just got that +4 Legendary Sword I've heard about in Legends. I bear the fabled Brecker Sword itself! Wielded by the fabled Grimwulf, handed down to his son the fabled Garnswammer who slew the two headed Demi Deity in his epic battle against the Hordes of Darkness. Retrieved from...

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

    Sorry, I try to respond to those who have direct comments to me, but there is only one of me, I don't spend all my time here (I have other things I am involved in), and I only have so much time. The thread literally goes quicker than I really have time to respond to. I have time to pop it up...

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

    For 5e (2014), that was called the Essentials Kit which you bought and played after you used the Starter Set. It didn't go up to level 12/14, but it also didn't end at level 3. It went up to level 6. You also had the actual Basic set of rules, but you had to download them and they were...

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

    They aren't defined in the Read this first booklet which tells you to punch tokens and gather them up and stuff. They do not have a Section which is labeled about Hitpoints, and they do not have it in the Glossary as a term in case you don't know what they are. They are discussed in combat...

    Greenland 2: Migration

    They had a movie called Greenland with Gerard Butler? Now they have a sequel? I never even heard of the first one! How did that actually do? I imagine it must have made some sort of profit if they made a second one. I never heard of the first one though before today.

    Fans of long series of big novels, sound off!

    Not a big reader of the Giant Novels anymore, or reader of big series, but I can name a few. My favorite, and the only one I'm currently reading is not really a Novel series, the books (Except for the last one which is extremely long) are not excessively big, but it is a LARGE series. Lone...

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

    I'm not positive but I think it may be in reference to a Video Game called Alan Wake.

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

    That's my conclusion. The tokens and all the pretty stuff is not really worth it for the New player and doesn't really help as much as some may think. I feel this is more a set for those who are experienced as well as to draw people to D&D beyond (and that makes sense, as a business Beyond is...

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

    @BruceWright Thanks for pointing it out. It's not under Hitpoints though...wonder why? It's not at the portion where they actually needed to know what they were in order to utilize that information. With an experienced player...sure...it might work. If they watched the video...sure...it...

    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...
