Great. Oh, and have a poll.

Oh, and I will likely be a dwarf fighter, probably an archer. But I dunno beyond that.

Read through the rules and drafted a Wood Elf Rogue. How would we be doing this online?

Play by Post, probably. Unless you have a better idea.

I'm thinking a Wizard for myself, either Human or Elven. Because it looks like they might even be able to survive more then one hit in the new version. D6 hit dice for Wizards makes me happy.

Wait a second, they brought back Hit Dice?

Did they return Vancian magic, too?

I'll forgive them for a lot of stuff if they did/

Yep and yep to both. Honestly I never liked Hit Dice. Vancian magic is kinda cool though.

So why 5th edition and not 3.5th? What's better about the 5th?

Because none of us have played 5th edition, so we all want to give it a try to see how it works. Otherwise how else would we know that it's better or that we like it?

Eh, probably. I'd rather get things organized and characters ready in this thread first just to make sure that people do want to play and stuff. More of a preference than anything else though.

Whatever the heck you guys want to do. As long as you have a character sheet to bring to the metaphorical table I'll be happy.

PTW and maybe play. I've still got my dozen or so 3.5 rulebooks(and am currently signed up for Shonus's game), so testing out 5e sounds like fun for me. Oh btw, standard 4d6 drop one, or array?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Obviously I'll be double-checking peoples sheets to make sure that they don't have all 18s in a stat, but otherwise feel free to use an array or roll for stats. This isn't going to be a terribly serious game, just a test run to see how 5e works after all.
