In my opinion, while I think there is still room for improvement, I feel that this set is about as good as we've ever seen for that.Absolutely the adventure was better in the Phandelver Starter. Everything else is better about this set.I believe the OP that they had a bad experience with it, but from what I can tell, mistakes were made that were not the fault of the HotB Starter's design.</blockquote>
