This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Maybe I missed the post here. Maybe the lack of interest is telling ...

There's a D&D 5e rulebook preview and adventure, taking characters from level 1 to level 10, on sale at GenCon. Errr, maybe it's pre-ordered now and picked up at GenCon.

Anyway...

I wish it wasn't a Gen Con only thing, as I'd like to get my hands on it.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

I'm sure there will be some on eBay five minutes after the exhibit hall opens the first day of the con.

Yeah, but I don't want to pay $50-$100 for it

Yeah, well, that's the price you pay for liking D&D and not going to GenCon, eh?

To quote Bun Bun, it sucks to be you.

Call me crazy, but I MUCH prefer a physical copy to a pdf.

Don't worry, so do I. But it's a rare case I'm willing to pay through the nose for international shipping though.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Nope, just the playtests.

Cover art looks good, at least. Wish they'd drop the stupid "D&D Next" name, though. I think that's gone on long enough.

Am I reading that right? It only takes four adventures to go from 1st to 10th level?
