[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5180664, member: 58416"] I think the idea for Essentials is good. I'm just probably not the target audience. On the positive side: If people are struggling with the 4E rules, it's probably good to have some sort of beginner set. I had thought part of the 4E design included this, but what's easy for me might not be for somebody else, so I can appreciate the need. On the negative side: I find myself wanting to look at Essentials before buying any more 4E products. It's been said that the reason for so much errata lately is to get the current books in sync with Essentials and the post essentials vision of 4E. If that's the case, it seems like I might be better off just waiting to get the Rules Compendium before I get anything else. However, before I get the RC, I want to have an idea of what direction 4E is heading in; if I feel like it's moving further in a direction I don't like, I think I might just stick with the handful of books I own now. I'm also starting to feel as though DDI is starting to become somewhat necessary. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I'm leaning toward 'not good.' [/QUOTE]
