I personally DM encounters but the people that come out are there for the fun of playing and the camaraderie of others having fun as well.
Yes, all those are great. But what is also great us creating a character. Maybe you're not this way, but I personally am more interested and invested in a character I created. It also helps when someone at the table isn't playing the same character.
And anyway, since Essentials is 100% compatible with previous 4e, why not let the two exist at the same table? Let's have a knight and a PHB1 defender fighter work side by side and see how they play slightly differently yet in a balanced way.
This seems to contradict what I had been hearing about booster packs being required. I would think that would be an optional component, but magic sealed pack events require purchase."PRODUCTS REQUIRED TO PLAY
Each table participating in the D&D GAMMA WORLD Game Day will need the following products, in addition to the materials provided in this kit:
One (1) D&D GAMMA WORLD roleplaying game boxed set – the DM uses the rulebook and tokens from the set during play.
Two (2) D&D GAMMA WORLD booster packs for each player participating in the game. Players should purchase these booster packs at their local
game store prior to sitting down to play."
It looks like they want players to have booster packs of mutations for the event. I will probably provide packs for those who do not want to buy them, with the stipulation that I keep the cards at the end of the event. I should state up front that I do not mind the idea of booster packs and plan to buy them and use them.
