[QUOTE="Melfast, post: 6330795, member: 17870"] [b]DND Terminology and New Players[/b] GX -- I think they're thinking that the "Basic, Standard, Advanced" terminology is likely more approachable for new players who may be intimidated by the term "Advanced", and that "Standard" is also useful for establishing the baseline for organized play. Their adventure modules will all likely be built expecting a Standard set of rules, and players will be able to easily use them for Basic by not using some options in Standard, and to easily hack them for Advanced by adding optional rules like a grid with its associated more tactical play. Also, it lets them sell the "Standard" game instead of having the first purchase coming for "Advanced" rules. May not work out that way, but I think its likely. Melfast [/QUOTE]
