[QUOTE="Sunderstone, post: 4515548, member: 23497"] Some folks know Im not a fan of 4E. That said, based on the OPs posts about it I'd say it was a great starter set. Sounds like its geared for people who have [B]"zero"[/B] D&D experience. Not for the masses of players that have played previous editions. Fast and Simple, give 'em pregens and run a few encounters. Then they can decide if D&D life might interest them. If it does, you can tell them that the full ruleset gives them character creation, higher levels, and many more options. Id probably use something like that as a tool to teach more people about the game. Too many options/rules too soon might be alot to take in for the average D&D "noob". Sounds like a well thought out project for the most part, ymmv. LATE EDIT*** Imagine if character creation was in for a second. Imagine spending some time to get a character made (might seem complex to a D&D noob) and having him die in one of the encounters. The D&D noob might be put off at the time it took to create a character to only have it die in a short while later. Pregens give them a taste for the system without the prep or attachment of a self-made character. [/QUOTE]
