[QUOTE="Lord Vangarel, post: 6270669, member: 223"] $50 or probably around £30 here in the UK is about what I'd expect it to cost so isn't too much of a problem as I see it and if the game is good represents very good value for money. Where I do see problems is I've felt burned with recent releases of D&D and therefore this isn't an automatic buy, which it has been in the past. I want solid previews of what my cash is going to get me. I want to see classes, (not all of the class, but enough to be able to tell), details of the rules, images of the interior artwork and how the wording is laid out. Yes I know we've got the playtest but that's a million miles from the finished product (hopefully) in terms of the look and presentation. I'd also like a 2 book core with the rules in one and monsters in another. The DMG should be optional as putting the genie back in the bottle of AD&D isn't going to happen. As for the starter set it needs to be a full game. Limited levels are fine but it needs to present a playable game that can be used without having to purchase additional material. It needs to be fully compatible with the core book, and allow players to take characters seamlessly from the starter onwards. It would ideally also present sample options from the core book to show what sort of things can be done, i.e. limited feat selection, optional skill system, etc. $20 sounds about right to me as an introduction for kids. Oh, and the quality needs to be great on the artwork as well, at least on the cover to draw people in. In the past I've bought every edition of D&D and would have described myself as a fanatical buyer willing to part with oodles of cash because it's D&D. Unfortunately I no longer class myself in that category. [/QUOTE]
