[QUOTE="teitan, post: 1576818, member: 3457"] Well that makes me spit my milk all over my monitor thank you very much, LOL. Honestly I remember being able to create NASTY NPCs ont he fly in 1e and even 2e (were NWPs for NPCs important at all? LOL) with minimum time. I can't do that in 3e which bugs the pee out of me, but I like the level of detail at the same time... weird. D&D does need a Basic set, but not so stripped down like the Adventure Game was stripped down, it needs to have complete rules for up to such and such level and a decent collection of feats and spells. Newbies can pick up the box and get an idea of what next and I could even conceive of doing the whole game that way. What I would like to see though is 4e as a SINGLE book like D20 Modern with an expansion for more monsters that is optional. Make a core book as complete as the Rules Cyclopedia... and release a Basic set just before hand. I think what is keeping Billy Kid from gaming and only encouraging gamers already in the hobby is that 90 dollar buy in tag and the proliferation of RPG prices. Sure we will pay the prices but a new guy won't. The lack of official adventures doesn't help either... Jason Jason [/QUOTE]
