I have the 5th Edition PHB in bound. Hopefully I like it.

Honestly the best way to get started is to know people who already play to hold your hand for a few sessions.

Don't post outside of the gear threads much, but this caught my attention.

I've been doing my first campaign as DM (4E) for about half a year, but it seems to be falling apart. Every campaign I've played gets to ~lvl 10, and then people start getting spotty with attendance, or just plain hostile. So frustrating because I love playing when things do go well.

when you get to that point as a DM you need to find another story arc or side-quest that can keep those hostile/less-interested folks hooked back in. something out of left field always seemed to keep my campaign groups interested.
i'll be doing something like that for my main group next week and i'm pumped to see how the respond.

Thanks. I'll get back to the drawing board.

I might be interested if you guys figure out a way to do an online ILF game.

Roll20 is a good option, or just GoogleTalk it out.

I'd be in for an ILF game on Roll 20 or google talk

Man I haven't played in years, if it was at a time that I have free (which is usually only late at night) I'd be down to play. Roll20 looks pretty nifty.

depending on the day, i'd be down to roll a character for an online game. could be badass.

My advice on this:

Steal something from the party. It's your one use ultimate DM trick to get them to do anything you want.

Never played DnD, but ive always wanted to try.

that's what i've done before. I've kidnapped one of the party members and had the victim try to escape some hairy situations while the rest of the group tried help the other out.
took 3 sessions to complete and started a new story arc which lasted about 4 months.

BEER AND BOARDGAMES!!! \,,/

Beer for our regular weekly session, but we always drank this for the occasional Saturday epic:



Bestworst idea ever.

I'd suggest a Skype group for D&D, or preferably Pathfinder. Though, timezones....

And i'll have to rebuy those lost books.
