[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 5318186, member: 29112"] I think a slightly "lite-er" system, rather than 1-3, 1-5 or 1-6 of standard 3.PF, is definitely the go. But one where the overall power level of equivalent characters between the two systems would be roughly equal, so as to enable simple conversion (campaign-wise), for situations where that might crop up. [I]Maybe[/I] cap it at 10th or thereabouts. Fine. But make it so that PCs can at least take down a dragon (a [I]real[/I] dragon; you know, a freakin' scary big one) at some stage, using just said "Basic" system. Box set, with everything you need included = win. Or at least, damn close to everything you will need. Counters are a good move, and you can fit quite a few in a big-ish box. Maps are very tasty. . . so long as they're actually useful for something, including for totally new players and GMs. A set of dice. . . and so on. I think - though, please, correct me if I'm wrong! - you (i.e., Paizo) might be [u]uniquely[/u] placed at the moment, to publish a superb and visually stunning "D&D (cough) Basic" boxed game, that really is. "Basic" enough, that is, to truly cater to those new to RPGs, young 'uns among them. No-one else has done this for a LONG time, and no-one else looks likely to. If I'm misreading the situation in any way, then as I said, put me out of my misery now! ;) But OMG, I hope I'm right. :cool: [/QUOTE]
