[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8528028, member: 4348"] The thing is, I DON"T really care about the large poster map, or a card deck (unless it's actually required to play the game). If I want to learn about a game and how to play it, I'm concerned about the RULES and the items I need to actually play the game. Everything else is just icing on the cake. Giving me icing without the cake is sort of...well...there are those who LOVE icing, but personally, I'd rather have cake. If given the choice between icing or the cake, give me cake any day of the week. An RPG without a way to create your character isn't really giving one a taste of what the game is all about or like fully, it's like hiding how hard or easy it is to actually PLAY YOUR OWN character that YOU WANT rather than playing something that they WANT you to play. D&D basic gave all the basic rules (WITH character creation) away so that they could get people to play...AND IT WAS FREE. They had a starter set, but with it came a way to get the FREE RULES. So, no, I don't care about the other stuff. If I want to learn about a game and whether I would like to play the full game or not, GIVE me the actual game. I don't care about the other stuff if I am curious about something, I want the actual stuff that tells me whether I want to buy the full game or not. [/QUOTE]
