[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 8805357, member: 48965"] I think it's at it's most useful when it provides options and tools for me to use however I want... but hey we are all looking for something different out of D&D. No, but claiming it's a bad starter set because it didn't provide these is what some people feel is silly. Yes it could have examples but again there are other logistics like page count, price etc. that providing copious examples will affect. If the price increases to $30 will the number of DM's put off by that increase be made up for because now their are more examples? Will the DM's lost to the extra page count they now need to read will be made up for by these extra examples. It's not hard but I think part of it is that instead of asking for clarification you are going off what you (as someone arguing the opposite) can't follow. Is that really a mystery? Where did I say examples of rulings can't be given? Do I feel like generic examples of setbacks in a starter set are a worthwhile addition... not particularly, I think the wordcount and page space could be better served with in adventure examples... which I even posted was an idea I supported.
