I will field questions about the box set in this thread, but I will give you a quick run down of the contents of the Box itself. Dungeon Master's Book 6x9 Digest Format, 271 pgs with IndexDM Screen, more flimsy Card Stock with new Info Layout, yet old art of Original 4E Screen1 Adventure Splint into 2 parts, Set in Harkenwold of Nentir ValeReavers of Harkenwold by Rich BakerPart One: The Iron CirclePart Two: The Die is Cast3 Token Sheets, 2 support the aforementioned adventure, and one is a Player Character Sheet of tokens.Two Double Sided Poster Maps that supports the Reavers of Harkenwold.Thats the Kit in a nutshell at a Price Tag of $39.95, I have to admit its a pretty decent deal. Much of the Book seems to cover alot of rules that the Rules Compendium does but if your a new DM you can pick up the kit and not have to buy the Compendium, the 2nd half of the book goes into running a game. Building Adventures, Quests, a decent look at Encounter Building and Skill Challenges, and bringing it all together and turning it into a Campaign.  Also a very small section on Magic Items ranging from Common to Rare. Compared the the DMG 1 and say Keep on the Shadowfell, you get a much better purchase with the DM's Kit.</blockquote>
