The preface of the PHB is among the best short descriptions of D&D I've read.

 

Bravo, Mike...

Yeah, yeah, you got your PHB early --quit bragging .

 

I can't get to mine til Saturday afternoon.  Wanna share a snippit (or two) with those of us less fortunate?

 

I'm always on the lookout for 'best descriptions' of D&D, for when people ask what's it all about?  And why haven't I grown out of it yet --that's my wife talking .

favorite easter egg I found in the PHB and Hoard of the Dragon Queen ... the company disclaimer ;)

Is it the same disclaimer that's in the Basic Rules?

'Playing D&D is an exercise in collaborative creation. You and your friends create epic stories filled with tension and memorable drama. You create silly in-jokes that make you laugh years later. The dice will be cruel to you, but you will soldier on. Your collective creativity will build stories that you will tell again and again, ranging from the utterly absurd to the stuff of legend' - Mike Mearles

Yeah, that's a different disclaimer, but one especially poinant and pointedly accurate about the D&D experience.

Yeah my favorite store I'm KC, Tabletop does not run enough magic to get the book early. They tried a few things but it was to late.

Metagames Unlimited in Springfield has it, but that is about 2 1/2 hours from KC.
