If I just started gaming though, I don't know if this would be my first, second, or even third choice though.While I'm still reading through it, it seems more a collection of locations in some ways than a solid setting. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. For example, in the boxed set, we don't get a lot of breakdowns on say, religion. Gods pop up here and there as well as a ton of old names that in the 70s must've sounded cool, but now... "Slayer's Citadel... formerly run by a warrior called Slayer!" or grids with nothing but an encounter "xxxx Frogs! We have giant frogs man! They're like 15 of them! Wow nostalgia!"The art is good and the layout is simple but so far, I'm not seeing a lot of why NEW players would be flocking to this over say Iron Kingdoms.Opinions?</blockquote>
