What are your D&D plans for 2014?

[Michael Silverbane]

Right now, I am gearing up to run a Spelljammer campaign that I am going to run in Type III D&D, and that I may transition to Type V D&D shortly after it comes out.

I am also currently playing in an epic level Type III game that is, sadly, coming to a close. I don't think that DM has any plans to start up anything new at this time. It is most likely that if something new does replace this game, that it will be an SWSE game, but you never can tell.

My players will continue to wreck Eberron until the summer. Then I move across the country and we try to figure out how to keep the game going with the DM in another state and one player in another country.

But my move will put me into at least one and possible 3 other campaigns, so it's going to rock!

D&D plans for 2014

I'll continue running the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game, a D20 retro-clone, and picking up Pathfinder materials. I did try the Dungeons & Dragons Next playtest, and I'll keep an eye on the D&D5e announcements and releases, but I'm not sure my groups will feel the need to switch the next edition.

We just started a new 3.5Ed campaign- I'm running a human "arcane paladin", and it seems cool so far!

 

[Blackbrrd]

Going to continue my newly started 4e heroic campaign. Going to use Reavers of Harkenworld and Madness at Gardmoore Abbey.

I really want to try 5e when it launches, so I hope someone else in my group wants to DM it.

Operating Systems won't be able to handle the Character Builder. For me that's not a problem, but the only other player in the group who doesn't use an electronic character sheet only does so because their laptop died and they're saving for another one.

If you save a copy of the OS and the software you can always make images and load them into a virtual machine, then you have it as long as you back it up and the world doesn't end

personally I'm gearing up for d&d next, waiting for shadowrun 5e to actually have a print copy with erata and debating if I'm more interested in vtr b&s or v20, until one of those comes up we'll stick to old editions

My BFRPG game is coming up to its 3rd birthday. I will be continuing.

If a friend buys 5.0, and wants to run it, I'll try it.

I don't have any active tabletop gaming group due to lack of time (mine and my friends'), but I'm looking at 5e as an opportunity to go back to D&D, if the next edition succeeds at cutting down DM's preparation times and go easy on the players.

Before the books are published, I'm going to keep testing the new edition with a couple of one-shot games with close relatives, some PbP, reading whatever material is available, and discussing on the forums Just to get a stronger opinion...

I'm looking forward to the publishing date, but I am not going to rush and buy it. First I want to see what is in the final version, read as much as possible about it on these boards, and browse it at the FLGS to also check the "feel" of it. This is important to me, and has a lot to do with the artwork. When 3e came out I didn't know it had, so my first exposure to it was to actually one day pass by a FLGS for the purpose of buying D&D 2e (wasn't even sure the game was still selling) and discover that 3e had come out a year before, but as soon as I browsed the PHB and saw the artwork I knew I was going to play the game!

In the meantime, I'll let a few months more pass so that the first printing full of errata gets by, and I can buy the second and better print.

This is important to me, and has a lot to do with the artwork.

I remember reading something about the artwork being done by a video game art studio from overseas. One art director at Wizards quit in 2013 and another was permanently laid off in 2013. Of course, they might have years of artwork selections ready to go. It has been in development for a while.

I'm really happy with RuneQuest as it stands, but I'll await the release of the new D&D game with keen interest.
