[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3844059, member: 48965"] I would more chalk this up to lack of specific details. Taking DMG 2 as an example change the poll and ask who wants 30+ pages dedicated to a town and your poll results will probably be different. Or ask who would rather have an adventure as opposed to a town. The basic question is a majorly positive because it skirts the negative consequences with the inclusion of a town, since we have no details on anything, if at all, that will be cut for the town. My own oppinion on the matter is it's only good if there is an adventure attached to it. If not, then the arguments that Mourn and others have posted about it's feasibility for beginners is greatly diminished, especially since I would assume that these beginner's who will need a pre-constructed town would need an adventure even more. The first adventure (the Shadowfell one) has alluded that it will contain a town and an adventure. This makes the town in the DMG kind of redundant for both new DM's and those who aren't new. And with the first adventure clocking in at an extra $30...well it casts doubt in my mind on the feasibility of the "requiring new players to incur extra costs" argument. [/QUOTE]
