[QUOTE="giant.robot, post: 5269873, member: 93119"] I'm really excited for the 4E Red Box. I've been desperately wanting something that can easily introduce D&D, particularly 4E, to new players. The 4E and 3E PHB and Pathfinder's Core Rulebook suffer from presentation problems. If you aren't really familiar with what pen and paper role playing games are and how they work none of these books really teach you. They tend to gloss over a lot of basics that really new players don't know anything about. A lot of new players today have likely played video game RPGs but may have zero experience with P&P games. Walking players through an encounter and having them build out characters based on their reactions to the situation I think is a brilliant move. It explains the D&D basics to them while showing them what P&P role playing is all about. This is something a good DM will do with a new player, walk them through some situations to see what sort of character they want to play. [/QUOTE]
