[QUOTE="Perram, post: 5434746, member: 84740"] I don't want this to be a forked version of PF at all. As an advocate of the game, I very much need this as a recruiting tool, and if this is incompatible with the full PF then it is completely worthless as such. I will be buying this box and giving it out to plant the seeds of new gaming groups in my area. That said, I like the idea of keeping with the tradition that has worked before: 1) Four Races, Four Classes -> Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling. Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, Wizard. If you want to add a couple of others, that would be good too... but I would really focus it. 2) Support up to level 3 or so. Let them get their 2nd level spells and next feat. Let the players see that the game expands as they continue to play. But don't flood them with too many options. 3) Character sheets, dice, mini DM screen would all be nice. Also a pencil. :) They should be able to play with just what is in the box. 4) A really AWESOME intro adventure. You write great adventures, guys. It is your best thing. Make this one AWESOME. Also, don't make it too obvious that it is for kids. If you want to avoid some of the more mature themes, I understand, just don't make it sunshine and unicorns and evil black knights... (unless you can make those things awesome... then go for it!) This is VERY important. The adventure is what is going to show them how great the game can be... it will show them what they can do with it, the kind of experiences they can have while playing. If you can show the new players how much fun the game is, they'll buy in. [/QUOTE]
