Also reading age is an issue. No point in selling it to someone who isn’t a fluent reader unless they have help. I intend to use it with 9 year olds - the age people might actually be interested in starting D&D. It’s not uncommon for things to be aimed at an audience younger than the label (with adult supervision).Dwarf blacksmith is hardly against stereotype! A halfling blacksmith maybe (although the Shire clearly has them).Different game. It was common to fight 20+ monsters at a time in Basic because the rules were different. It would by massively laborious using 5e rules. But the caves were massively overcrowded in the original, one of the reasons I didn’t like it - it was nonsensical. What are several hundred humanoids eating and drinking? Where does the poo go?  You break into someone’s house, how many people would you expect to find living there? If it's too easy you can always have the neighbours hear a disturbance and raise the alarm.</blockquote>
