D&D 5E D&D Basic PDF - 3 MB (They're released!)

[MerricB]

Due to constantly refreshing the Wizards page, the D&D Basic pdf has now appeared.

It's about 3 MB and 110 pages.

Cool!

Cheers!

I am guessing we are 9 or 10 hours out yet at least. They probably want to have their tech folks on hand in case there is a meltdown.

edit: there not their - my goodness - I should go to bed!

Absolutely. Which will make it about midnight where I am (Ballarat, Australia).

Cheers!

There you go. I was just guessing.

I am ridiculously excited for the release of these rules. Whatever WOTC did to market this version worked very well on me. Amazing, because I have been playing from darn near the beginning in the mid-70'S!

I even watched the group play through the first encounter on youtube - just so I could see the map of the first adventure and start casting some Hirst Arts to match. My sons are vaguely aware of the new edition, but it's going to be awesome to spring it on them tomorrow!

Wow, 3MB only? Now that's a pleasant surprise.
Was hoping for it to be no bigger than 50MB or higher, after purchasing the BECMI Rules Encyclopedia PDF...

Being nothing but text will help keep the size down.
