[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5319522, member: 21076"] The Core Rulebook and SRD are awesome. Great books and resources and are well laid out for experienced gamers to get into the Pathfinder game. 576 page rulebooks can be intimidating for [b][i]new[/i][/b] gamers though or our younger gamers. Looking to lower the bar to entry of the pen and paper world of gaming is a good thing though. Saying to people that if you can't read through this massive rulebook and understand it well enough to start gaming right away then you're not worthy isn't a direction or attitude I think we should pursue. I play Pathfinder with IronPup, I've watered down the rules a bit to help make it easier and focus on the parts he finds the most fun. I would [i]love[/i] to be able to give him his own set of rulebooks for Christmas that was an intro to the game. And I would love to have such a product to give it to nieces and nephews as well, people I might not necessarily be close enough to to assist with learning the game, they would need something they can pick up themselves when given the opportunity. While you call it dumbing down, I call it lowering the hurdle to ease entry into the world of pen and paper gaming. [/QUOTE]
