Great way to start back
 
Review Date: April 17, 2009
Reviewer: 21 Days, Alabama
It has been over 25 years since I last played DnD, and when my teenager wanted to play, I was not ready to cough up the change for the whole big set in case it didn't work out. However, the small Starter Set was reasonably priced enough to get us moving and see if it was something we'd enjoy.

I am so glad we did this. The set's rules were easy to get into after a long absence, and it came with everything we needed to get rolling (no pun intended) including dice, some dungeon tiles, pre-made characters, character and monster tokens, and some starter adventures.

We are having a blast! There is enough in this set to take you through level 3 in character development, and the online resources at DnD Insider and the customer service game help (which I called to ask some game questions--they were fabulous!) are enough to have you playing for a long time before you need to purchase anything else.

Granted, some have commented that you can also buy the first 4e packaged adventure, Keep on the Shadowfell, and get most of this rule information that way. However, the starter kit has much more in it for someone seeking to write their own adventures and I think more general rule coverage. We also purchased Keep on the Shadowfell to continue our roleplaying fun and have been satisfied with it as well.

So far, this has been a fairly accessible learning process for my teenage players and easy for one old Dungeon Master to get back into things. I'm looking forward to getting this group through the first adventure so we can all get our own big manuals and level up a bit. But the Starter Set has been a cost-effective way to find out if it was going to be fun for us.
