Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 9761870" data-attributes="member: 52734">I was initially planning to pass on this, but after seeing a couple in-depth reviews, went and hunted it down this weekend (It was quite the adventure, like trying to find the Caves in the original B2).I'm still going through it at this point, but I feel like it's a pretty good deal, especially for a group introduction to the game (if you assume the contents are in use by 4-5 people).  Personally, I'm not one to be using the character boards and pre-gens (but I'm sure they'll be great for any new players I have in the future), but I'll get use out of the tokens, maps and spell/monster cards (and NPC cards) in my everyday games.  That's about 80-90% of the box set.   The adventure is certainly usable, though I plan to bring some of the old B2 back to it (return the Orcs, the subversive element in the Keep, prisoners to save - that sort of thing), but that's my personal preference.  I do like the various caves mostly offer ways to overcome them without having to resort to "kill everyone you meet".The one thing I wish is the box had enough space to throw a PHB or such in it down the line as a sort of player's carry-all - as I've done that with putting the full rulebook in other starter boxes for other games I own.</blockquote>
