[QUOTE="Iosue, post: 6401847, member: 6680772"] 1000% agreed. If it was something akin to the 4e Red Box (solo adventure for chargen, pared down DM's book with adventure that takes you from level 1 to 2) or even the original Red Box (simplified version of the rules, small mini-adventure), I'd say it would be virtually pointless to buy it after getting the PHB. As it is, Lost Mine is the meat of the Starter Set. 64-page mini-campaign that takes your characters from 1st level to 5th, and provides a nice Fallcrest-style homebase town. A handy 32 page rule pamphlet that is great for passing around the table if something needs to be checked during the game. A set of pregens that can be given to new players, or used as NPCs. And an awesome set of dice. All for $20. When the announcements first broke, I quickly pre-ordered the Starter Set and the Big Three. But when I heard that the Basic Rules were going to be available, I considered cancelling my order of the Starter Set, thinking it would be redundant. I'm very happy that I didn't. And lots of folks are playing and enjoying Lost Mine. It looks like it's going to be this edition's (and this generation's) B2. [/QUOTE]
