[QUOTE="Keefe the Thief, post: 5271087, member: 49552"] Yet there are people out there, uncouth simple people, who are not blobs swelling with boundless creativity and who need a little help to get into the game. People who don´t have an experienced DM at their sides. People who, hopefully, buy this box. But i´m impressed that you could sneak in a minmax bash and a "back then, we did it like it should be done" at the same time. EDIT: And i want to show what i mean with the above by telling about US, who we were, when we started to game. Character concepts? I tell you about them: - The guy from Robin of Sherwood with the two curved swords on his back. Called Nazir Deathhand. - Gandalf who shoots lazers from his eyes (mind the z). - Pretty much everybody from Beastmaster I. - Everybody on a Maiden or Boltthrower cover who held any kind of weapon. - The guy from Ladyhawk, only with more crossbows. We put every interesting weapon, monster and location we found in films, comics and from tv into our games. We listened to Agent Orange and Tankard during combat. Shouting swearwords at enemies could net you bonuses to hit from the DM. We pounded our fists at the table when no orcs popped up in 10 minutes. And we played until we fell asleep. The music continued to play all night. When we woke up, we finished the combat and made us some breakfast. Believe me, our characters concepts AND game concepts could´ve used some handholding.
