D&D 5E Discussion

[Don Peste]

Yeah show me, sweetie. BTW cool tie.

 

[Irenaeus]

Finally!

 

[Melan]

So how does the book figure in your daily workout?

 

[Irenaeus]

Looking good so far

 

[ProphetSword]

The Dungeon Masters Guide is the best book in the whole set. Probably the best DMG ever printed outside of the 1st Edition AD&D DMG.

 

[LeStryfe79]

What does everyone think about honor and sanity?

Overrrated.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Overrrated.

I was considering becoming a serial killer, but you have saved me.

 

[Night Goat]

So what's next for D&D? How's the 2015 release schedule looking?

 

[Irenaeus]

Yeah, I want to buy more books.

 

[LeStryfe79]

As far as I can tell, WotC seems to be mostly interested in publishing adventure lines for the time being.

 

[Spectacle]

Elemental Evil!

 

[Irenaeus]

Damn, I can't find more info.

 

[Don Peste]

 

[Irenaeus]

Board game? Meh

 

[TigerKnee]

How many Bugbear tokens does it come with?

 

[ProphetSword]

Those games actually come with 3D plastic miniatures.

 

[nikolokolus]

Gotta wonder if it isn't cheaper to pick up some Reaper Bones for $2 a pop?

 

[Havoc]

Does anybody know what licence they are going for with this product? No more SRD?

After Pathfinder? There is no way Hasbro going to allow OGL or SRD ever again, from the business perspective.

 

[Havoc]

Then they can't really compete with Pathfinder. I can just enter their SRD site and get every rule, monster, class, feat and optional stuff they made up with just a click, no need to buy expensive books.

Based on how Hasbro lawyers are going after every site with 4th DnD info using C&Ds for the past year, buying expensive books is pretty much what they want their customers to do.

 

[ProphetSword]

Before you go patting Pathfinder on the back for that, you should realize that they only do that because the original OGL created by WotC requires them to do so. I doubt they would have posted every rule online otherwise.

 

[Havoc]

It's a plus of the system nonetheless.

 

[ProphetSword]

Depends on your point of view. Even with every rule posted online, I refuse to DM another session of Pathfinder ever again. In fact, I sold all of my Pathfinder books after six months of running 5e. Easy online access to rules for an overbloated game don't trump the option of playing a game that doesn't require me to constantly reference the rules to get through a round of combat.

So, plus or not, I wouldn't touch Pathfinder with a 10-foot pole at this point.
