I mean, D&D hasn't had a good starter set since the early 80's. That's crazy. It needs to have... * good character creation rules, with the understanding that it's going to be narrow and somewhat limited * at least 3, but preferably 4 or 5 full levels. * a good adventure which shows off the system * advice and rules on how to run the game * a good list of both monsters and treasures, enough to keep things exciting for a while * and most importantly a big section on how to run the game and make your own adventures. Basically - is it a half-assed advertisement for something else, or is it a full, simple, playable game, suitable for both kids and adults for dozens of hours of play as opposed to, like, four?</blockquote>
