D&D 5e Suitable for Newbie
OK Smokin, another lad for the fray. Do you have the Starter Boxed set ?? Joff only has those rules, which would dumb it down for you. The freely available online rules may cover the same material than the boxed set, not sure about it though.
At this moment in time, I would not ask players to buy the Players Handbook (PHB). If you like the game, you will need it to play in any other games. If you don't like it, then I saved you the $$.
I don't have time to do a start up game tonight. Tomorrow I have my usual Wednesday D&D after work, so I may not be back in time then. Thursday I should be able to get things rolling.
If this section falls off the GM wanted, you can search for it. I would tentatively title mine as Lost Mines Phandelver, which you can search for Friday night. I'm usually on about 7-9 pm EST.
