[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5350585, member: 18280"] Really? I didn't know that. What is a "Speed Dice"? Well, that wouldn't be the first time, nor would it be the last time. There is no "right" or "wrong" with subjective criteria, of course. However did you jump from "I just wish it was more clearly differentiated in its trade dress/advertising from the earlier Red Box." to "BLARG! How could you ever think to use the retro art- that will just confuse everyone and destroy D&D! Where did you ever get such a dumb idea!!!"?!? Why the ad hominem? After all, didn't I also say that I thought it was a good value on average, and a step in the right direction? But that said, I wouldn't mind if they produced something using [I][B]all[/B][/I] retro art -- interior and exterior.....especially if it was a Black Box set instead of a Red Box. If retro is cool enough to use as advertising, retro is cool enough to use throughout the project! :cool: (I realize that the audience that such a thing would appeal to is limited, and that the print run would therefore be too limited to probably be of value to WotC. But a gamer can dream. It would be interesting, to me at least, to see exactly how much the art direction has actually influenced my feelings about the ruleset.) RC [/QUOTE]
