http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules looks like they added some nice stuff DM guidelines, including monsters, encounter building, and some magic items

Argh, I want to try out 5e soooo bad.

we need a new gm

eta: what changed in the update?

I'd consider running a game, even a prefab module just to try out the system, but I'm extremely low on time while out of country so it would be slower than a normal PBP.

I mean... I should be back in the states in less than three months... so we could start ironing things out in the meantime. I could dial back the steampunk aspect of my Valmora setting one or two clicks and run a game that way too maybe, I've just never actually DMed like that.
