Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 5347237" data-attributes="member: 725">The move to boxed sets and small rulebooks isn't a significant change? The adventures seem to keep their size, but are thin booklets in the box (not bad imho). As far as I can tell there is possibly another hardcover somewhere in march 2011. This all makes it for me a significant change of direction for the D&D RPG line. I'm not saying it's a bad change, but it is a big change only two years into the 4E cycle. The first big change for 3E was 3.5E and that was three years in to the 3E cycle and wasn't that big a change, although we did get more hardcovers then before. I have a strong suspicion that when the current printing of the PHB/DMG/MM runs out we won't see a reprint...Might be a good direction because it now looks more like a game (box) and might get some shelf space in toy stores. I was absolutely not happy with the Red Box, it went in a direction I do not like, but that is a personal matter (but an opinion that others share). On the other hand I just watched the unboxing of the Dungeon Master's Kit: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHlIAPtdirY]YouTube - Dungeon Master's Kit Unboxing[/ame] And that was actually inspiring (but not worth that much if I don't have a decent starting point for players.</blockquote>
