D&D 5E [Merged] D&D Next/5E Release Schedule Threads

[tomBitonti]

Hi,

Are there any image galleries for the miniatures? A search for the set name + miniatures doesn't work very well because the terms are too common.

Also, while I like the new cover images, the logo, in bright red, seems garish, and ruins them for me.

Price comparisons are hard to do: Not everything changes price at the same rate, nor does everyone's income.

Thx!

Spiffy covers that really harken back to the full cover art of AD&D. Also, it appears that D&D might be having its FedEx moment, seeing as "D&D" appears at the top, and "Dungeons & Dragons" is a tiny little add on near the bottom (my Dad works for FedEx, and started there when it was still officially Federal Express).

Yeah, I got that. I was thinking more the one on the top of the books.

I wish i could help you with that, but the logo is too tiny and im not enought high level for art working it! : )

Come on, simultaneous releases don't cause quality issues. Not starting your development and publishing process early enough causes quality issues.

As with many things, you can always go further back for more precipitating factors. But, in the context of an already rushed development cycle, simultaneous releases certainly didn't help quality issues.

Rise of Tiamat, at least, is definitely Komarck. The others could be his but it is hard to tell at such low resolution.

The green dragon from the Starter Set also looks like Komarck.

Lots of questions about character creation and the starter set - you will definitely be able to make characters when it comes out.

That was Mearls, on Twitter. Good news!

Heh. This is how I interpret that:

"Your starter set will come with a product code that will allow you to access chargen rules online."

Which, again, works for me. Some may complain, but I think that's a good way to provide value while keeping the cost of the physical product down.

Heh. This is how I interpret that:

"Your starter set will come with a product code that will allow you to access chargen rules online."

Or an online character creation tool.

From Mearls on twitter: ". @Wild mikebennett PH/MM/DMG releases were split because stacking them causes big quality issues, a la the 4e errata. Too much work at once."

So I think they made the right call. I'd rather wait and have less errata.

Thaumaturge.

Hey, I am not saying they should release unfinished products, but I do find it weird that the releases are staggered. It would have been kind of logical to wait until they have finished all the books before releasing any. For instance if they discover that the math doesn't add up completely when they are doing the MM, but they can't fix the PHB because it's already been released.
