There was a lot of nostalgia associated with the 4th box since it copied the Mentzer Basic Set's look, but it didn't have anywhere near the content of that box. I think that drove some of the "backlash" against it too, even from people who otherwise liked 4th edition.Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-37354187045926105432014-07-21T19:30:51.649-05:002014-07-21T19:30:51.649-05:00This is a great article and very well thought out,...This is a great article and very well thought out, but it tells me something about the two editions in the bigger picture.<br /><br />I can't speak about the Basic/Starter Sets or whatever you call them. I didn't buy the last one, or the one before that, and I'm certainly not going to buy this one.<br /><br />That said, I hated 4th. I think 5th isn't bad. That's pretty much what it boils down to. It's not about what you get in the box, other than the game mechanics. The game mechanics for Next, for 5E, are simply better received.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-34289599832579053832014-07-21T17:27:28.349-05:002014-07-21T17:27:28.349-05:00Cool, thanks.

Good luck with your game!Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-79930672563745597102014-07-21T12:03:26.671-05:002014-07-21T12:03:26.671-05:00Interesting Article & well timed since I am go...Interesting Article & well timed since I am going to be doing a demo game tomorrow evening. <br /><br />I will post a link to this article on my blog as It will I think be of interest to the audience of as well Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390344520382399671noreply@blogger.com
