S'mon - Thanks for the info on other similar games. We're enjoying D&D 4e so far so we'll stick with it, but it's good to know that there are alternative D&D type games out there.
Klaus - Yes, we'll soon have to pickup some more 4e resources. We went through some book stores over the Chrismas break when I was unsure if D&D was just a passing interest or something that would keep their (my children's) interest longer term, so I didn't want to buy a bunch of books that the kids would never use. In fact, I had no idea which books to buy to start. That's when we bought the Red Box. We've continued into the Dungeon Master's kit - purchasing that in the New Year.
Just now I've just read through the Red Box errata thread - man, that would have been useful to find before now. It would have reduced some of my confusion and questions in the beginning. This brings me to another question...
Will our Red Box characters be imbalanced playing through other adventures? Should we create new ones before they get too far with their Red Box created characters?
Thanks for your input and responses.
