<blockquote data-quote="Queer Venger" data-source="post: 6503013" data-attributes="member: 6778121">5 out of 5 rating for D&amp;D 5th Edition Starter SetMy headline pretty much summarizes this starter set. For your buck you get: a rulebook, a module, dice, ready to play character sheets, a box to hold it all together. Ive played starter boxes before, but this one has the distinction of being one of the best modules for D&amp;D Ive played. It is, in fact, better than the famous starter module &quot;Keep on the Borderlands&quot;. The rulebooks is very nicely illustrated and easily summarizes in introductory form the basic rules of the game. This is in fact one of its merits, because a thick rulebook similar to the PHB, could be intimidating to new players and keeping options easy and simple is the goal, which is clearly achieved. The character sheets are complete and pre-generated and have a nice spread of class and race options. What is excellent about these starter character sheets is that each sheet has backgrounds and elements that tie it directly to the module &quot;The Lost Mine of Phandalin&quot; which encourages these connections to be role-played easily. Need to hide your dice rolls if you are the DM, no worry, the cover of the box easily suits this purpose. The dice are excellent and Chessex quality, in fact the best dice set Ive seen in a starter box set, which alone could retail for $10-15. The best aspect of this starter box set is the price point. It retails for $19, but you can pick it up on amazon.com for $11.99.&nbsp; Wizards has delivered their best intro set in decades and my group just finished the intro module this week after starting play on it in August of last year. There is alot of value and mileage in this set and its one of the best D&amp;D products out there.</blockquote>
