[QUOTE="Alby87, post: 8550013, member: 7031244"] Based on the image, you can notice that this will be similar to the Starter Set in terms of components (if they had miniatures or card maps, they would have definitely put in the picture). The only thing it seems strange to me is not putting all the dices (Essentials Kit did right putting 4d6 and 2d20). The sheets are also not filled, so probably creation rules there. Sneak rules 5.5 preview? You can bet it will be for races (Tasha's), but for classes, I don't see a value of putting new rules to people who don't know the game and having no useable feedback from them (at least there is a paper slip telling them "Did you like the game? Tell us more and have a free adventure". About 50$ for me is either one of those things: 1) A mistake. Material wise is a lot less than the Essentials Kit. This kind of document is made in a hurry by a lot of people not directly following all Hasbro lines. PHB is actually 50$, so a copy/paste error. 2) A bad omen. If this goes to 50$, the core books will cost no less than 80$ each, in 2024. 3) Or, and here I'm going totally unfounded speculation. May this set have beta/pre-release Wizards VTT codes to up 1 DM and 5 Player? Not that will be available next to the set release, but when it will be available, you can use those codes for , say, six months worth of subscription. Remember, Essentials had something in the tune for DNDBeyond. It's too wild of an idea? [/QUOTE]
