[QUOTE="Selkirk, post: 6400499, member: 6775377"] well two if you bought starter set...and if you like hoard (again reviews of this are generally lukewarm). but for new players and returning ones-players and dm's just getting familiar with the rules-is converting a module or creating your own (and this does go back to the absence of a dmg) even a possibility? why would i even think to do it? how likely is a new player to pick up a 3.5 module and start converting stat blocks and encounters for balance? this is what we actually pay the game designers to do. or am i supposed to research back in the release schedule and find the playtest modules...would be helpful if wotc had conversions ready on their website. they could have solved all of this relatively simply... release a full ap or at least 3-4 modules. or linked on website to playtest modules saying they are optimized for 5e as it is now. if i visit the website as a new player i might find links to hoard of the dragon queen (might not). so that leaves me with one module (mines of phandelver if i also bought starter set) and a link to one module. with one more announced at a later date. this simply won't do...remember the phb was released on august 19th.
