My only real question is the price point. I remember days where Amazon had the Phandelver starter set for like $8. I'd buy a bunch of them and drop them in local lending libraries. I doubt this can get down to that price but WOTC did keep the core books to $50 so who knows. Going all cardboard is a smart move, I think, to keep that price down. But we'll see.It's interesting that ability scores aren't here. I really liked the Tales of the Valiant "only the bonuses" approach for monsters and this is one step closer to that but obviously, someone who learns on this can recognize what's going on if and when they pick up the core books.To me, this seems like the most important product for the future of TTRPGs. This is the product most likely to bring in new players and expose the to the hobby we love. Along with the three core books (now released) and the 5.2 SRD, this is the third pillar of what I'm really looking forward to from WOTC and how it can grow the whole hobby.Fingers crossed!!</blockquote>
