Hi All!
I have yet to purchase the Beginner's Box. However, I was wondering, for experienced players would the rules lend themselves to pick-up games?
Often, due to "real world" demands, our group numbers can vary from session to session. I am wondering if the Beginner's Box might be a simple way of playing a one-off session here and there?
Well just the other day I used it as a pick up game. I had people just come in and play the premade characters.
Outside of that I'm not sure if it will have any more advantages to a pick up game.
Any premade characters and module would work, the simplified rules aren't that different. To be honest since we already knew the rules there were times when we got confused on what was now a rule and what wasn't. "Can I bull rush in this version?" "So wait, no attacks of opportunity?" Stuff like that.
I had fun running the game and I loved using the dungeon map and the plastic minis (sold separately). And just today they released the Bash adventures.
I guess in the end it's up to you. I have no regrets getting the Box, but if the only reason is a pick up game, I might get a few modules and make a few characters.
