Pros
- Very easy on the wallet
- Set comes with an adventure, five pre-made characters, and a set of dice; making "pick up and play" very easy.
- Everything is condensed into one set
Cons
- No maps
- With the intent being new player friendly, the system seems more convoluted than it needs to be. Especially coming on the heels of the much more straight forward "Essentials" system.
- Provided classes are basic, which is good for newbies but can also be seen as underwhelming.
Overall
This is a mixed bag. For people who are curious about the game, this gives you a good way to test the water. It's also designed so that players can get right to the game. The system isn't the best in my opinion, but that's subjective and it still has useful material. I don't know if I'd run a game in this edition, but I'd still play it.
