D&D 5E (2014) 5e Resolutions!

[Cyan Wisp]

Spark up a new 5e game with a new group, using converted Night Below.

Begin developing a D&D for Education model.

My 5e Resolutions are:

1) Try to play/DM more without negatively impacting my professional and academic goals.

2) Finish my social challenges rules for 5e.

3) Finish updating at least one of my homebrew settings to 5e, which includes finally finishing the world map (which I haven't been able to do yet for any of my settings).

I suppose I should make a resolution to complete my 5e conversion of Rokugan setting, but since I am the only one who cares about that, it's probably better I spend time on something else.

Oops! This was COMPLETELY the wrong thread! Sorry guys.

My current 5e resolution is somewhat grim. I'm kinda pissed at 5e, to be honest. I gave it what I thought was a fair shot, only to be told* that 5e is apparently the most sensitive, delicate snowflake of a game, that absolutely needs an alignment of a good-to-great DM, starting at the correct level, and running for MANY levels beyond that, for me to have "given it a fair shot."

So...I guess my resolution is, try to find such a game, so I can legitimately say I gave 5e every chance to allay my concerns and cut it all the slack anyone could ask for.

*Specifically, by [MENTION=996]Tony Vargas[/MENTION], in this post. As I said at the time, I think it's ridiculous to need to play to level 7+ on multiple characters, all with DMs that fully grok the system and make sound judgment calls, just to say I've given the game a "fair shot."

Treat your self bro. Then have evil wizard port the PC's there and make them try an escape adventuring in process.

Me and my group had a big D&D session right before the end of the year, which ended on a huge cliffhanger, where the players were stuck in the realm of the dead, and came face to face with the cosmic horror they had been fighting all this time.

So my new year's resolution as a DM, is to delve deeper into the lore of this new world. I'll probably create more maps of the area they are in, and write more npc's to flesh it all out. When we continue the campaign this year, I want it to be a memorable session. I want to give them some good combat, along with interesting new characters that they meet, and some great world building.

Not a resolution as such, but I'm going to try to post more often about gaming and relatively less about the business of RPGs. Which may well lead to me posting less overall, but oh well.

(The reason it's not a resolution is the same as for [MENTION=94389]jrowland[/MENTION].)

Eh, if you don't like the game, you don't like it. Surely you'd be better off spending the time finding a system that is more to your taste, rather than trying to meet the arbitrary standards of some random guy on the internet?

I've had rather a dearth of any kind of gaming, so at this point I'll take "a system I'm not sure I like much, but might simply not understand yet" over "fourteen consecutive months of zero gaming and counting."

Also, it's nice (in perhaps a somewhat petty way) to be able to criticize the game, and respond to deniers with personal experience. (I became so utterly, thoroughly sick of "white room theorizing means nothing!!!" retorts...)

Pray, roll the dice, petition, etc. for an OGL equivalent to allow third parties to add content, including new ways to present classes.
