I poked through the demo copy at the local shop tonight.
There's one glaring thing missing from the Red Box.
Rules to create a character without going through the 32 page, 100 entry or so "Choose Your Own Adventure."
Yes, the solo-adventure teaches you the rules of the game while you make the character. It's awesome.
But is every person who plays supposed to take turns going through it while you wait? And what about when you make your second character? Go through the whole "choose your own adventure" thing again?
I didn't see another sheet or paper or little booklet that tells you just how to make a character in there, but the first thing I'm going to do for my red box only demo games at the local store is make a simple "how to make a character" sheet that doesn't involve going through the solo adventure.
Oh, and the character sheet. It gave me such a "that make's so much sense" moment when I looked at it and saw how they laid out the skills indented under each attribute.
