Editorial Review:

All three 4th Edition core rulebooks in one handsome slipcase.
The Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game has defined the medieval fantasy genre and the tabletop RPG industry for more than 30 years. In the D&D game, players create characters that band together to explore dungeons, slay monsters, and find treasure. The 4th Edition D&D rules offer the best possible play experience by presenting exciting character options, an elegant and robust rules system, and handy storytelling tools for the Dungeon Master.
This gift set provides all three 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons core rulebooks (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual) in a handsome slipcase that looks great on any bookshelf.

All in the name:

Compared to what could-have-been, a great disappointment. Layout is confusing (terms like 2w appearing before they're explained), artwork is below standard compared to (say) Dragonlance art.

Quality Reiview (not content), ink smudges easily!!!:

The illustrations are top quality, they are bright, vibrant, and insiprational.... more info

Most accessible edition to date:

I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons since middle school, which now makes me a more than 20-year veteran of the game. I've weathered the cumbersome rules such as THAC0 and grapple, and have found this new edition to be the most player friendly--and perhaps more importantly--the most Dungeon Master friendly! If you've ever ran a game of D&D for your friends, you know the level of preperation that is usually involved for the Dungeon Master. For 2nd and 3rd edition games especially, the prep time can... more info

A welcome return to an old hobby!:

Let me start by saying that I do not care for the whole "3/3.5 was so much better" remarks as I feel all edition should be judged individually for what they (are trying to) do.
I was an enthousiastic player of Roleplaying games in my high school years but had been completely out of it for nearly 15 years. Back in the day we played a lot of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and kind of stuck with that for the entire time we played.
Even at that time I found the sheer amount of source books, rules... more info
