Pros
- Features the only book that doesn't run through the rules. It's all monsters/stats from front to back.
- Like the DM kit, this comes with a 2 sided map, an adventure, and tokens. All things that can be used even if you prefer to run a different edition of the game.
Cons
- While the book is the same length as all the others, I still feel like the Essentials line could have used more monsters. Going 30 levels on this book alone seems like it would be tricky.
- A lot of the cooler monsters are at the higher tier. I suppose it can't be avoided, but it's slim pickings to come up with encounters for starting players.
- Really not sure why the cost of these has gone up so significantly. I'd suggest browsing to find a more reasonable bargain or waiting for it to drop because that price tag is steeeep.
Overall
- This is a fairly cool kit. If you're looking to DM, this is definitely worth picking up as it gives you all sorts of material to help facilitate game play.
