D&D announced they are giving away the basic 5th edition. You can play the basic classes up to 20th level, as a free PDF. |

That's great! The really funny thing about that is that I generally stop enjoying DnD at or about 10th level anyway. I generally think ultra-high level gaming is more like super heroes
something I am not really interested in. |

I am the same way 10th should be the highest, I remember the old AD&D system talking about settling down and building a keep at 9th level. "These kids nowadays" wanting to play to 20th and MORE :) |

Inari7, do you have a link for this? I cannot seem to find it on the website. |
Rogzombie | 27 May 2014 6:28 p.m. PST |
I dont think its ready yet, something they should have made more obvious. I think it comes out when some of the other products do. |

They've produced an SRD document which, aside from generating ability scores, pretty much let you do that anyway for the last couple of editions. Be interesting to see if this is just another SRD or something a bit friendlier. G. |

This is like what Hackmaster did with its current edition. What is more interesting in this announcement is the whole Basic-Advanced paradigm for rulesets. |

That's great! The really funny thing about that is that I generally stop enjoying DnD at or about 10th level anyway. Agreed. Back in the RPG days, it took us so long to get time to play and to work through our (very theatrical) campaigns, that I don't think anybody ever even got to 10th level. This was with (modified) Palladium RPG, but the principle is the same. I knew people who kept and played their characters right on up to the level of demi-god. I always thought that was kind of silly, and that any GM who LET a PC live that long was on the wrong track. Doug |
