Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 6321302" data-attributes="member: 18">Is this a joke post Klaus?Pretty much everyone who has ever played one of the myriad games which has made a claim along those things knows "X times Y times Z = a FOZILLION POSSIBILITIES!" is pretty much 100% nonsense. There's no value in "not repeating a character". That's monkey business. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> The value is "Will my players and/or me get bored?".For some groups, the answer will be no - as mach1.9pants points out, BD&D was fine for his group for a long time. For other groups (probably the vast majority and WotC should certainly hope so!), boredom is likely, and more options will be desired. WotC will be only too happy to provide those options.So yeah, I don't think Basic is designed to have infinite mileage because that would actually be somewhat counter-productive to WotC making $$$ (which is the bottom line, in the end), but I'm sure it's designed to be solid and fun, because it's likely to be the first Point-Of-Contact with D&D for a lot of people (and for some minority of people, it may be all they ever need, those lucky bastards!). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
