anyone playing 5th Edition D&D?

[Tony]

So, anyone playing 5th edition? I'm starting up a little group to play now and then, just wondered what people thought.

Seems good, there's a few things that i'm going to have to get my head around though...

Just need to start playing

 

[Mesquite]

D&D is something I've never played despite me really enjoy fantasy fiction from a very early age.

Oh well, a bit too old to get into it now

You're never too old to lop the head off a goblin...

Saying that, although I always wanted to play those games I never did. Never seemed to find a group of people who shared my goblin blood lust.

Where in Wales are you Tony?

Ed, myself and our group we play 3rd edition with a smattering of 3.5, I believe there is only a little difference between them. I have quite a few gigs worth of PDF's that I obtained recently, if there is anything I have or can help give us a bell.

 

[Tony]

Over between carmarthen and cardigan

Yeah Steve, never too old

Yeah, we did some 3.5 etc, the 5th is supposed to be a lot closer to the 2nd edition but with the best bits from the others added on, we'll that's what I've read The kids I've got together are all teens, my kids and friends so I figured I'd get them started on what's current for them and see where it goes, they're all excited, I've got them a dice set and a little velvet pouch

I played basic, advanced and a lot of 3rd edition. Missed 4th edition and keep hearing good things about 5th edition. Have got the starter box to try on the kids.

To get an idea of how it works I suggest watching

Cheers for the info, I'll defo look into roll20!

 

[Tony]

Yeah, I"ll have a look at the online stuff

I got the box set as well, I figured it was a good place to start

Mesquite, your not too old, ive been playing for 34 years

Vin Diesel is a known celebrity player, and of coarse Wil Wheaton. neither are exactly young.

Im still playing 2nd edition and have been for almost 30 years, apart from using the players option, have seen no need to buy more books and move on to another edition.

Pathfinder is highly rated as a system thats compatible with DnD

me neither I went down the warhammer route as a kid advanced hero quest rather than the table top battle stuff though

 

[Wayland]

Blimey, I haven't played since "Advanced" came out.

I didn't even know there was a 5th edition.

 

[Tony]

Advanced was my favourite, I think because that's what got me into it and it was all so simple, if you had a good DM it just flowed....it got more and more complicated after that and I'm hoping that 5th will bring back a bit of that simplicity...Well, with me DMing it will be simple!

I enjoyed WH40K, chaos Squat army, that tells you how long ago it was

I always wanted to play D&D, but never had anyone to play with. Did some warhammer as a lad. Recently got into board games instead. One I'm really enjoying is Descent, Journeys in the Dark. A bit like Hero Quest, it's a dungeon crawl, coop or hero vs DM, and there are things to paint too

That's the advantage of roll20. No need for a geographically local group.

I'll take a look, thanks. The nice thing about Descent is the app which allows coop/solo play, for when I want to slay some monsters (or more likely be slain) and no one's available.
