[QUOTE="MichaelSomething, post: 4846016, member: 51168"] Here's what I think 5th Edition could turn out to be... You just returned from your Friendly Local Gaming Store with the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons! Hooray! As you open the box you find not a series of books but a card. It has some account information and directions leading you towards the new Dungeons and Dragons website. Wanting to see the new 5th Edition, you go to the website and open an account with the information on the card. After you complete that task, a CGI Gary Gygax appears. “Welcome to the latest edition of Dungeons and Dragons!” the computerized Gygax proclaimed. “When I first developed this game, I had no idea how popular it would become. What was once a humble past time for me became the foundation for an entirely new way of gaming! A way where you could literally do whatever you could think of and customize the game to whatever you wanted it to be! Now with this; 5th Edition, you can truly create the game you want! I hope you have as much fun with this as I and many others had.” After that short intro speech, you look over the options. You skip the ones that explain what roleplaying and Dungeons and Dragons are go straight to the section called “The Player’s Handbook.” After you click, you come to the following screen which tells you the following… Welcome (insert your account name here) to the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, the most customizable edition ever! You can construct the Dungeons and Dragons of your dreams! The first step is select all of the races, classes, and other options that make Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons and Dragons! Once you are done you can download a PDF and/or order a physical print of your book to bring to your gaming table! Intro articles You only get one first impression. Please select the article/author you would like to first read when you open your PHB! We have over 20 different introductions to select from! (Here would be a listing of various intro articles you can choose.

Create a classic fantasy world or just pick at random! If it exist in D&D, you can play it! (Here would be a listing of every D&D player race ever. Here you would select the races you wanted.) Classes What classes will you select for your Dungeons and Dragons Game??? Fighter (old school style): This fighter class is designed to be like the Fighters classes of earlier editions. He has few special abilities and is designed to be very realistic. This class is not a good fit for a game which demands powerful character abilities. Fighter (new school style): This fighter class is designed with the latest in gaming ideas. With this class, you’ll never have to worry about being outclassed by spell casters in high level play. This class is not a good fit for games where powerful characters are not required.
