[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4518853, member: 10177"] Forking this because the original thread is pretty much off track, and I want to say what I think. Even though I did not fall in love with 4E, let alone switch to it, I have to admit I think WOTC did a nice job on this. I still think most people will be turned off by the rules overload, but maybe how cool and interesting all the "extra stuff" looks will intrigue them enough to plow ahead. If they do I think they will like it. I think they will appreciate not having to do any more thinking and figuring out then is necessary. I think they will like not having to do any character creation. I think the new DM will like how much is done for him, and still feel challenged in mastering what is there to learn. I think it also does a good job of showing whoever is the DM that they can do a lot with their imagination with this game. I think this will do a good job in piquing enough interest from the DM and players to get them to seriously consider buying the PH, DMG, and MM. I still think there is a slimmer way to present a "Starter Set", and make it look less intimidating, but I think this is the best "Starter Set" I have seen for D&D. Its certainly good value for my money, and I bought it at full price at my LGS. Plus I have no intention of ever playing 4E again. If I do, I'll at least have a good resource to show me the basics, so I'll catch onto whatever I am shown from the core books quickly. Plus, looking at the DM sections, there is a fair amount of "replay" able to be done with the suggestions, variety of monsters, and even the tiles. Showcasing how fun it can be to exercise your own imagination and creativity within the RPG environment. So over all I think WOTC did a pretty darn good job with this, and would be a good product for other RPG companies to emulate. [/QUOTE]
