Yes, I read that ...Hi Tim, thanks for the answers.<br /><br />Yes, I read that you won't be playing a campaign with them. My remark about PF being a full game was more aimed at the fact that you are some kind of "ambassador" when you show them a game. Whatever you present to them, you are having an impact on what they may buy for themselves afterwards.<br /><br />As an "ambassador" <b>I</b> would feel bad if I endorsed a product that they would soon have to replace with more product in order to make full use of the thing.<br />I'd rather recommend something that is complete.Greyhawk Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467399899194610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-37123484064843560672011-12-14T12:10:13.392-06:002011-12-14T12:10:13.392-06:00Oh, I would like them to level up to second level ...Oh, I would like them to level up to second level by the end of it all.Timothy S.

I am going to say "You have an 18 Strength, that means you are strong, really strong. Not Superman strong, but certainly Batman strong. So you need to protect the weaker characters."Timothy S.

Kids can play up to level 5 without the need of buying a follow-up book. <br /><br />Try that with 4e Red Box!<br /><br />What is your target age group? What materials do you plan to prepare - not adventures, but flyers, posters, leaflets, etc (to find players)?<br />Was it difficult to get a school official's approval?Greyhawk Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467399899194610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-89485404666577831732011-12-13T15:19:21.323-06:002011-12-13T15:19:21.323-06:00I own both, but chose to run the Pathfinder Beginn...I own both, but chose to run the Pathfinder Beginner Box at our Library's National Game Day last month. Since the players were my 2 kids & a friend & his 2 kids, we're trying to develop it into a campaign. While I find the Pathfinder Beginner Box superior (love the presentation & character sheets), I think 4E's Character Builder is better than Hero Builder & for younger players that could be a huge benefit.Cross Planeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258583245202567276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-69551864810365550072011-12-13T12:48:33.927-06:002011-12-13T12:48:33.927-06:00I was really disappointed by the 4E Red Box.
