[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7628919, member: 83242"] This has probably been mentioned before, but with the release and conversation around the essentials kit, I have started to wonder what 5e would be like if it was presented in a series of boxed sets instead full books. I think this would be a really interesting way to introduce the game. What would you put in each book. What rules would be included in each box.
