[QUOTE="JenniferRPG, post: 6623443, member: 6795724"] Hello, this is my first post here -- or any RPG web site for that matter. I played Dungeons and Dragons (Basic) a few times when I was a child and really enjoyed the experience. I ended up finally getting my own player's handbook and dungeon masters guide at Target with intentions of possibly running my own games. I got these on clearance at giveaway prices (due to them having demons / devils on them etc, lol). Anyways they were the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons manuals and it was too much for me at the the time (I was around 12 then), and I ended up giving up the idea -- but I enjoyed reading them, the best I could anyways. But I've always been into computers (since the Commodore 64) and always enjoyed playing fantasy "rpg" games on them, including the baldur's gate and Icewind Dale titles.. along with Everquest and then WoW. (I don't play MMORPG games anymore -- looking for some roleplaying and dynamic environments a computer can't begin to offer.) Now I'm at the point again in my life (32 years later) having the idea I might run my own games, starting with my nephew (I guess we could both play 2 characters for the party -- a lot of work in addition to DM'ing I know especially the roleplaying lol). We are going to start with Phandelver. But after that we will want to get another module. Should that module be Hoard of the Dragon Queen (and then subsequently Rise of Tiamat), or should we just skip over them and go right to Princes of the Apocalypse? I read that Hoard wasn't that great of an Adventure (that is was full of errata and was boring) -- but of course what I read could of been really biased. I have read great things about Princes, especially that it is TOEE--like. (Read great things about TOEE including someone's conversion notes from AD&D 1E to 5e). So after Phandelver, should we start with Hoard, Princes or a converted TOEE? Or perhaps something else? Maybe something free? Thanks! Jennifer [/QUOTE]
