If I do this I’ll be focusing on the rules, game and tech wrt prep.  I’m not convinced minis would even work, at least without setting up a second camera over a special table.  I only have the one camera borrowed from work for now.  My mini collection is almost all painted anyway.  Over 2000 minis and less than 150 unpainted at the moment.  I’ll be focusing on the basics to begin with.  Get the core together and running first.  Worry about extras later.

I won’t be looking to start this for a while yet, but that gives me plenty of time to read the rules etc.  I see theres 2 versions of the PHB and DMG.  The full book and a starter book.  Whats the difference?  Limited rules and spells and abilities stop around level 5 in the starter books?  I was going to skip the starter books, but if they are good they might be good for handing to incoming players to ease them back in?
