I feel like the variety in 5th edition was nuked from space.

I feel a great sense of absence

It is streamlined and while some was for the better (Stream lining AC so that no one is super unhittable for example), others just feels like them trying to lower the bar enough so anyone can play.

Which I guess is fine since I'll still have pathfinder... but it means I'll have to wait forever until Dungeons and dragons tries to make a complex game.

Taw, the rules are free on their website, so...

And welcome Nalbir.
Not that. I have crappy satellite internet. I have a limited data download per month. I want to save it for DF2014.

So I have to wait for my father to have to go to his office so he can download it using their free wifi.

Nope and nope.

Absolutely lovely. I'll rumage through the files I have then and see if I can't browbeat some people into making some characters to run through a premade adventure. I'm not the greatest of GMs but I can do that at least.

I... Yeah, pretty much. Not that any edition was super amazing and perfect though, they all had their flaws and quirks. Some more than others... I have no idea what I'm saying here but felt the need to comment.

That is the point. It was made to improve upon the foundation 3.5 left when they made 4e.

So, as the title suggests, the D&D 5th edition has/is being released as a system.

W8, WHAT? Well. I knew that Wizards of the Coast was trying to get over the reaction to 4th Edition[Which I personally didn't mind that much] with a new edition, but. ALREADY? ITS TOO EARLY. I'll take a look at the actual files later and might consider playing once I do. Also, PTW on general principle.

Well, that explains it.

Huzzah!

Now I just need to finish reading the rules and make one...

It's the least I can do to actually get things off the ground, trust me.

I think a GM needs to be someone who owns the official rules.

Official rules? I thought there was just a free pdf v0.1 of it out? Anyway I've never done this online but I'd be down to try it.

The basic rules are out, but for special QM things I think you need to buy them.
However, if USEC has the playtest QM rules...

That I do, along with several playtest adventures. It's rather out of date obviously, but I don't see anyone else stepping forward to GM so... Better than nothing at least. I'll go with the free rules posted on the website and adapt the modules that I have so that they work with them if needed.

In other news, I am 3/4 of the way finished with the rules, so char will be inbound soon.
