Thanks to Kickstarter, you can get rpg games that come with a wide variety of extra stuff included!

This is true. The Blade Runner kickstarter had a wealth of cool stuff. Most of it one use though for the starter box

I have a few of the old TSR boxed sets, most of which I bought at wild discounts when they were on end of print run clearance, because i was a penniless student at the time and if it wasn’t 80% off, then I couldn’t afford it. Dark Sun Revised, the FR grey box, Planescape, a couple of the Al-Qadim boxes (which were kinda half-sized and flimsy compared to the major boxed releases)

They had their ups and downs, but one thing I really miss was how they split the player-facing info about a setting from the DM secrets, adventures etc in different books. So convenient and such a great way of introducing a new player to a setting, simply being able to hand them a booklet and say ‘check this out’, rather than ‘check this out, but don’t read chapter 6 or 7, or the sidebar on page 29, or the last three paragraphs on page 16.

Box sets were awesome, I only had 3: dragonlance, FR 2e, and Planescape. Sadly they have since been biffed by my dad. My fault for using his place as backup storage for the last couple decades.

Boxed sets are super fun to open up, like a present, but at the end of the day books last better.
