[QUOTE="Zeitgeist, post: 6447225, member: 6786173"] [b]5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook[/b] I enthusiastically rate this a perfect 5 stars. I signed up for the playlets, but never got a chance to really participate in it due to lack of time. I tentatively bought the book, thinking I would just resell it if I did not like it. Then I got one in my hands a week before it would ship to me. Let's just say I ended up reading almost all of it in the shop. My goodness this is a beautiful book, the art is stunning and frankly, I do not think I have seen as pretty a RPG book. It is also sturdy and really bound well. The color just pops of the page. My book arrived and I have yet to put it down. The writing and editing of this book is also extremely well done. It is not wordy and verbose, but succinctly says what it needs to and moves on. Very well organized and the book just flows. The rules are simple (thank goodness!, exactly what I was looking for), makes sense and not overwhelming. The focus on story telling is exactly what I miss in RPGs. The book is a standalone, but honestly, it would be terribly incomplete and players will want to invest in the Monster Manual and no doubt the Dungeon Master's guide. The playability is great and in a couple of minutes my kids and I were up and running, expanding nicely with the Starter Set we played a couple of days earlier.
