Hello all, long time lurker, first time blah blah blah...
I've been playing D&D for almost...er... 30 years. Moldvay Basic set, greatest birthday gift ever. Same story I'm sure a lot of us here have!
I've been playing 4th edition for almost a year now, off and on, for a few friends. We've been enjoying it but what I'm REALLY looking forward to is the changes in the game coming with Essentials.
(Is that in vogue to say? Essentials sounds awesome to me, but I can see a few folks rejecting it trying to steer the philosophies of the game back towards its roots...)
So a question for a DM who is strongly considering a reboot for his next campaign: For those who have seen the Red Box in person, is there a nice selection of monsters inside?
I'm not expecting the expansive collection of monsters that'd be included in the boxed set this one is inspired by (page count and all), but is there at least a couple dozen to choose from, namely for creating adventures from the Red Box alone... at least until the Monster Vault is released later this year. Or is the Red Box simply designed to get a player going and the DM has to turn elsewhere for creating their own adventures?
