LAST EDIT (by Big Mac 5 Jul 2014): D&D Basic Rules and D&D Character Sheets added to Free Downloads section.

[Big Mac]

Found a news article called D&D Next Playtest Has Opened!

[Big Mac]

Living Innistrad added to Forums and Communties section.

[Big Mac]

Quick and dirty Spelljammer for D&D Next added to Main section.

[Kiraya_TiDrekan]

FYI, EN World has consolidated all of their D&D (and Pathfinder) forums together into one forum, so they no longer have an exclusive D&D Next forum.

Thanks Crazy Monkey. I've pulled the dead link. I wonder why they merged their forums. (Maybe they recruited GamerZero onto their moderator team! )

[Birchbeer]

FYI - Free Basic edition has been released as PDF

[Hugin]

Thanks for the link, Birchbeer! Downloaded and ready for perusing as soon as I can!

[RobJN]

And here are some different Character Sheets... (why this isn't linked from the Basic page, I don't know...)

D&D Basic Rules and D&D Character Sheets added to Free Downloads section.

Here are some free adventures I found on EnWorld if you are interested. I like Mind Blast a lot.

One of my biggest 5e complaints for the PHB is how the spell list is organized. I find this one much better...

Why do I get a 404 error for every character sheet link?

Try this one, Dave67.

Thanks. BTW, I saw one of the other players at the Adventures League game with an alternate PDF-fill-able character sheet on his tablet. He said it was from Reddit, anyone know if there is a section for alternate character sheets on there, and where? (I'm a bit of a Luddite when it comes to places like Reddit.)

[Birchbeer]

There the following sites on reddit:
Main DND Site with DND 5E highlighted: http://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/
DND Next Site http://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext

Is it one of these links?

Thanks Birchbeer. Yes, I found the modified character sheet I was looking for. Now, just need to find a way to save the filled out PDFs. (I currently only have Adobe Reader, nothing else. Plus, have no idea how I could use either on my tablet...yeah, I'm a bit of a Luddite these days. )

After filling it out go to the File tab and click on Save As, I think that should do it.

[Dave67]

Just tried, and this is what I got:

Save a Blank Copy of this Form
Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.

Then it gives me an option to print it out.

Ah well, I tried.

[Hugin]

Do you have the option to "print to pdf"?

[Dave67]

Actually, while talking with one of my fellow players tonight, he suggested I upgrade to Adobe Reader 11 - I was only using 10 up til now.

I can now save a filled PDF file...hopefully Reader 11 doesn't shut me out after 30 days.

I feel the need to point people at Reddit's /r/UnearthedArcana subreddit. Anyone can post there, and some of the stuff is very unbalanced, but it's a good clearinghouse for material. It also doesn't seem to have the toxic atmosphere other forums of the site experience.
