[QUOTE="jephlewis, post: 4608077, member: 81304"] So you were able to run a few games with just these? This is good! I'm interested in hearing of your play experiences with no DMG or MM. Like your encounters, and how your players enjoyed them. I presume one of your main reasons for buying the PHB was so the other players could make characters and not just use the pregens? I also assume you bought the DM screen for the tables of information? Yes, surprisingly SMART! You've given me something to think about. I believe martial power and adventurer's vault are pretty useful. Do you buy your books in a game store, book chain, online at amazon? What kind and size battlemat did you buy? How are you liking it? Card stock to make tokens is also very smart! very [I]efficient[/I]! I've got about 12 sets of dice myself; I think that's enough, but I'd like more. There's a thread here somewhere, and the people in it crunched some numbers for the cost of the books today, and the cost of the AD&D 1st edition books, and it appears that we've got a better deal today; larger page count, better quality paper and binding, full color pages. But a hundred bucks for three books is still rather expensive. I'm glad you found a way to side step the price hurdle and have a good time with your friends! [/QUOTE]
