D&D 5E Is One Year Old!

Today is the one-year anniversary of the first official physical D&D 5th Edition product - the D&D Starter Set! A boxed set containing a rules booklet and the adventure Lost Mine of Phandelver, along with a selection of pregenerated characters and a set of dice, the D&D Starter Set was launched in preferred stores (it hit other stores 11 days later) and was pretty solidly well received. To this date, it has a certified 86% rating right here on EN World. It has won a couple of awards, and is up for two ENnies this year in the Best Family Game and Best Production Values categories (people love boxes!)

So, Happy Birthday D&D 5th Edition! You're one!

Happy Birthday 5th Edition! I hope you keep getting more awesome!

Best edition yet, and I'm happy to see the back of the edition wars.

That can only mean that Modos RPG is coming up on a birthday too...

Happy Birthday to the fantastic 5th edition of the world's greatest role-playing game. We celebrated by running around some the latter part of Hoard of the Dragon Queen tonight.

Agreed, great system!

 

[Zak S]

They were wrong.

It seems longer to me... weird. Best D&D so far I think. I wish there were more settings books available already, though.

Starter set is still the best product they have put out, AFAIC.
