So, it would only be relevant for a system that does, and in that case I want those doodads included. For example, the Deadlands boxed set I recently got came with:– Deadlands the Weird West core rulebook– GM Screen + Showdown at Sundown Adventure– Set of 25 Bennies– Set of 7 Dice and Wild Die– Poster Map of the Weird West– Set of 12 Archetype Cards (pregenerated characters that fit, well, setting archetypes like Gunslinger or Mad Scientist, providing a good basis for what that sort of character should be capable of)– Set 12 Powers Cards (new and updated powers for Deadlands)– Adventure Cards– Infernal Device Cards– Set of 6 Harrowed Cards– Set of 5 Ammo CountersMost of these things are (or have been) available separately, but I felt that I got my money's worth by getting them all in a convenient boxed set. If I was doing this as a product from scratch instead of combining things and crowdfunder add-ons, I'd probably split the rulebook into a player's and a marshal's book – the book is already separated in two sections along those lines, but it'd be neat to have a book I can just hand to the players.Also, I'm assuming some form of return to normalcy. I don't see how a boxed set can be viable under the current US tariffs.</blockquote>
