[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 8854960, member: 467"] I wasn't calling for a new product. I was calling for the existing starting products to actually teach GMs how to run the game in full. Preferably, you would actually put that starter adventure in the DMG itself, but that's neither here nor there. If you came into the hobby before the 1983 basic set came out, and especially if you came in before the 1981 set, you got shortchanged on being taught the game, no question about it. But your anecdotal experience doesn't erase the hundreds of thousands (millions? where's that thread) of Basic sets sold and new GMs created by way of it. And I think the last thing we need and will help is yet more talking heads on YouTube telling new GMs that they can do whatever they want with their goblins. That's not helpful to someone who doesn't know what an adventure is supposed to look like and how it is supposed to run. And watching streams in even worse, for any number of reasons already listed but. [/QUOTE]
