[QUOTE="Fiery James, post: 1745503, member: 625"] [b]BattleBox[/b] Hi everyone, The BattleBox: Core Fantasy Set is shipping to distribution this week, and should be showing up in your friendly retail stores over the following 2 weeks. We're sending down a good quantity, but orders have been strong, and I expect sales to be brisk. We'll do our best to keep manufacturing them as fast as they're selling, but building those things takes time... :) So, get your orders in! Make sure your local store has ordered it. In my experience, the BattleBox is especially useful if you play with a bunch of "casual" D&D fans -- guys that know the rules, but don't have page numbers memorized. I happen to fall into that category, sort of (nothing memorized, but I can flip to the section pretty quick!) In our group, we rarely (if ever) get fancy in combat. Not a lot of bull rushes, over runs, grapples or anything like that. We broke this out at GenCon with us and another group, and it was amazing how eager everyone was to "step out" a bit and try new things. We've got the rules broken out into small, non-threatening bits, and it really seems to work. We had disarming, dog-grappling, bull rush specials, etc. Very cool, and a lot of fun. And, adding fun to the game is the bottom line, isn't it? - James [/QUOTE]
