Having double checked and confirmed, it’s clear that they are, in fact, hardcover adventures.I put together a little guide on how to see the D&D 5th Edition rules right now if you managed to miss the playtest process.Mike Schley has posted some hi-res Vault of the Dracolich maps.WotC’s Mike Mearls was interviewed by The Escapist about the imminent 5th Edition. A number of tidbits can be found in that interview: [81 comments]Classes in the PHB are Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, and Wizard], the Monk, Ranger, Paladin, Barbarian, Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Druid.Races are Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Half-Orc, Half-Elf, Gnome, Tiefling, and Dragonborn. Plus Drow as a subset of Elves – there are at least two rubraces per race.WotC has only 15 people working on D&D, and only half of those on the actual RPG (as opposed to other brand related stuff).The DMG contains class building guidelines. “The DMG also has a lot of utilities in it, like for dungeon creation, adventure creation, creating monsters, creating spells, even if you wanted to create a character class. It’s not quite the point-buy system from 2nd Edition, but it does say things like “Well if you want to create a class for your campaign then here’s a good way to approach it.”Forgotten Realms is, as we already knew, the core setting.The might do a print version of the basic rules (or even a print-on-demand version) but there’s no plan right now.They see the Starter Set almost like a board game. “You read a few rules, pass out the characters, and you start playing. You think of a game like Settlers [of Catan] or Ticket to Ride: You open it up and within an hour you could be playing it. ” Pathfinder RPG NewsSean’s Pick of the Day – Embrace the SqueeThis is a fun one! If youre a gamer, and youve been at this for a while, you almost certainly know about Dork Tower.
