A little background on why I start with DnDv5, I was lucky enough to have the D&D All Access Pass for Gen Con 2014. I not only got to play 4 four hour sessions of DnDv5, but I was given a copy of the Players Hand Book. It did not stop there, they then gave us a copy of the Monster Manual. It was pre-release and was signed by the development team. The games were fantastic, the swag was epic, but even before that I was having fun with the new rules.
I was running games using the beta rules at the local library teaching the system to kids who had never role played. They picked it up quickly and had a fantastic time. This rules set was a hit with people who had never play before. It was easy to teach and fun to play, more reasons to love this new rule system.
Next came the true test of these rules. I ran a game of the pre-release rules at local convention. The table had six old grognards who love playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (ADnD) and had dabbled in every version of the rules after ADnD. After four hours of rolling dice and putting the system through its paces, they universally agreed that it was hit. Old players and new players alike had fun playing these rules.
If you are curious and ready to try this new system, I have included some links to let you get to know these rules. Everything you need to give the rules a try is free online. My advice is down load the rules and give them a try. Yet one more great rules set to help me get my 1/72 Fantasy Figures out of the figures case, on the table, and having fun.
