Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dm_from_Brazil" data-source="post: 5078516" data-attributes="member: 55084">FireLance have the right answer here: they got only up to the 2nd level so the buyer will have an enormous incentive (continue playing) to download the Free Character Builder..that´s a short step of subscribing to DDI.AND let´s stop calling this a "one level starter set". It is a ONE level-up, TWO levels starter set. They way some put things here, one can imagine this scene:Newbie DM:...and Ok, so now with this encounter, you go up to second level...Novice Player: Nice! I have already choosen my new power from the player book you showed me. Can´t wait to use it!Newbie DM: No, no, you don´t understand - you´ll have to create a new character. Novice Player: What? Why? Won´t we keep playing with our second level characters?Newbie DM: Of course not. I have seen in Internet, in that EnWorld Forum, that this a single level box. That must mean that we can only play the first level of the game- if not, it would be a TWO level box, isn´t?Novice Player: ...By the by, let´s not forget that ALL the Starter Sets were, in theory, great "teasers", hooks to the Core books.From the Preface of the D&D Basic/Holmes, 1978 edition (Blue cover):"Players who desire to go beyond the basic game are directed to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons books".The TSR mistake was making "Basic", with the B-E-C-M-I series, a complete game, with it´s own set of rules.</blockquote>
