[QUOTE="CrashFiend82, post: 8076902, member: 6778742"] I don't Kate's words about New User experience being piss poor. I agree with so many that said the PHB could after a much better layout. I always thought starting with character creation was odd. Here let us tell you how to calculate all these values AC, HP, Attack Bonus.... oh and pick from these traits which you have no understanding of yet. Yes starter sets are great but imagine the amount of kids with disabilities or don't know others who would be willing to play. I love D&D and simply want everyone to have the opportunity to experience how awesome it is. That being said the barriers to many kids specifically those with disabilities are really high. I have come across kids with dyslexia to difficulties with math are quickly turned off the rules even though I know they would love the "spirit" of D&D. It amazes me with the available technology WOTC doesn't have direct links on their website to dozens of tutorials... quick play throughs, simple building guides, visual spell descriptions and the like. Not to mention having or at least guiding New Users, Players, Customers, etc. towards online games with others, its not like 10 year old kids don't have access to the internet. [/QUOTE]
