    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...

    Spoilers What do people get wrong about Tolkien?

    You realize Einstein was born in 1879... At least if it's the one I'm thinking you are thinking they are thinking of...

    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...

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

    Spell Save DC in 5e is calculated as 8+PB+Ability Modifier (whichever one the class uses). That is a pretty easy number to keep set. For example, a Wizard with a +3 to their INT (Stats are only bonuses or negatives in this game, no 3-18), at 1st level would have a Spell DC of 13. That number...

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

    Not as per what is there. You have different stacks of cards. They did very well at separating the stacks of cards. No one realized they were supposed to get cards from the stacks (Except the Elf Wizard which DID get the cards from the Elf out...I think it was Druidcraft). They are supposed...

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

    They read it (they are the new players). I skimmed it. I know how to play 5e so I didn't expect to have to get everyone going from scratch. That didn't work out. I started everyone from the basics. It took an hour before we even started to play. I was hoping something like 5 minutes...

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

    Thank you. That's not actually the Spell DC (which is stated specifically to be on the Spell Card...as quoted on page 10 under Saving Throws, but you are correct. We ALL missed that line...somehow.

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

    You have to watch the videos to figure things out. The videos are far more clear and more in depth than the book on character creation and what goes on in the character creation. Same with the how to play video. The How to play video actually has a decent example of how to play. The books...

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

    I have both the Read Me First and the Play Guide. In the Read Me First all it says is It goes over the card items in the component Overview (Pg. 3), but it never really goes into...Okay...this is what you are going to do with these items. None of my players put 1 and 1 together, and it...

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

    Beat me to it. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm also wondering what period this is Set in. It appears Connie Nielson is the Queen, but what periods of English History had the Queen? Is she Bloody Mary? Which Queen is she supposed to be? Edit: Ah, someone answered that. She's...
