[QUOTE="alleynbard, post: 5076761, member: 16220"] I am going to try it again, but that has nothing to do with the box sets. Quite frankly, at the risk of sounding dumb, I don't think I "got" 4e the first time through. While I enjoyed the game and slid into not liking the game, I feel like I missed something in process. Honestly, I was trying so hard to hold on to 3e that the design precepts of 4e alluded me. While I enjoy Pathfinder and find it to be a fulfilling game, I have some of the same issues I had with 3e. Which was expected, of course. We are playing a PFRPG campaign right now. Unfortunately, due to a number of varying issues, some totally outside of gaming, I am having some problems with the current campaign. So, I am giving it a fair chance again and I am working hard on shifting my perceptions and just "play" 4e. I have some ideas I want to work on, so the setting and material will be my own creation. However, I will be depending on the default setting material for a lot, just expanding it as needed, developing my own region, etc. By the way, I think the Essentials line is fantastic. My nieces will be the first people I buy the "red box" for. My first exposure to D&D was the original red box. So, if this product is able to grab these kids like that box set did for me, I will be overjoyed. They love gaming, but I think something that focuses on introductory material would work well for them. [/QUOTE]
