[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6237635, member: 52734"] I really think the Starter set should be a "game in a box". Those it appeals to could move on to the trinity core books, but the box should be complete enough that it can be a one-time purchase for casual players and they don't have to ever buy anything else ruleswise - but you could create the desire to at least pick up adventures in the box's level range. With that in mind, I'd have it cover the basic four classes, four races to level five as PCs, a range of foes up to 6-7th level (including a dragon or two). I'd shoot for a 24 or 36 page player's book and a 64 page DM's/MM book. Include one walk-through solo adventure in the Player's guide, one complete adventure in the DM's book. Also dice, of course and a coupon for some plastic minis or a pog/pawn set. I think that Paizo's pawn sets are a fabulous idea and I'd love to see WotC do those. Since the MM's could be freestanding, you could then have folks who use the starter set and just buy the MM's and/or pawns for their game, without having to buy into the "full" game. And then on top of that I'd have some electronic downloads - Ranger, Barbarian, Paladin, Sorcerer, Bard, Monk class as downloads. Maybe Gnome, Half-Elf and Half-Orc races. Once-a-month springboard adventures (that possibly link into a campaign). And a handful of "new" monsters from the full game. After a year, package it all together (and fully flesh out the adventures) into a second set to physically sell, as if it were an expansion pack. Maybe cover levels 6-10. I think it would sell marvelously, as long as it remained compatible with the "full" game. [/QUOTE]
