5.0 out of 5 stars
A different game, a fresh start,
By
This review is from: 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebooks) (Hardcover)
I've played D&D on and off since I was at school. A bit of a 2nd ed veteran, I skipped 3rd and 3.5 and I've just started back with 4th in the same group that I used to game with.
The core rulebooks in this set are of a high production quality, the rules are clear and well thought out. We played our first game last weekend and everyone loved it. Despite living in completly different parts of the country these days, may group can't wait to get back together for our second adventure. Do the rules seem more like a video game? Yes, they do. Does this allow for a better combat gaming experience? In my opinion, yes. You don't even need to use all the expensive miniatures and tiles, a grid and some tiddlywinks will work just fine. Some have complained that it's dumbed down and that there's no roleplaying, but I say that's daft - you don't need rules to roleplay, you can add that in yourself, there's no extra charge. I firmly believe that D&D has to evolve over time to entice new players, excite old players and to avoid stagnating. So, for new players: If you like fantasy and games, this is a new incarnation of the grandaddy of all rpg, buy these books or try out the £10 starter set (also available from amazon). If you're an old player: Don't listen to internet whinging, give it a shot and make your mind up for yourself!

Nice way to get all the core books.,

This review is from: 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebooks) (Hardcover)
I wanted the three core books and this was actually slighter cheaper than buying them separately.
The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because of the number of errata than Wizards of the Coast have made since the release. The more recent "Essentials" series has the updates and it might be worth considering getting those either in addition or instead of the core rule books. Check out Rules Compendium: An Essential Dungeons & Dragons Compendium (4th Edition D&d) and Dungeon Master's Kit: An Essential 4th Edtion D&d Kit (4th Edition D&d) (Dungeons & Dragons)

Excellent,

This review is from: 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebooks) (Hardcover)
I love this set, the books are very high quality and nicely packaged.
Im a huge fan of the 4th edition, so much simpler to run that the earlier editions (for someone who hasnt played D&D for a long time like me certainly). Rules are well explained and there are a lot of new options and character setups available. I used to play D&D basic and the old AD&D, as well as dabbling with GURPS and D20 and others, but still find this is the best version i have come across so far, easier to get into and less time spent messing with smaller details and more emphasis on just enjoying the game. Love it.
