Gift Of Fear : D&D Player's Kit With Free Miniatures Booster With Cards Reviews
| 41 of 42 people found the following review helpful  Designed for beginners, worth the price for veterans., By This review is from: D&D Player's Kit With Free Miniatures Booster With Cards (Hardcover) Dispite being designed for beginners and "graduates of the D&D Basic game" this box is worth every penny for players of every experience level (pun intended).For a $30 (less than 20 here on amazon) box here's what you get: 1)A softbound Players Handbook. The PHB is a $30 value on its own, so this itself earns the price of the box. I myself have been clamoring for a softcover PHB for years. 2)A pack of D&D Minis Abberrations. This set is out of print and easily fetch $15 apiece at online retailers. 3)A set of dice that don't suck. They look and feel like dice that a self-respecting gamer MIGHT buy at least. Also it's a 10-die set with 4d6s, which is better than the woefully inadequate 1 that most die sets come with. $5 value easily. 4)Some things just for beginners. A solo adventure (and I do mean SOLO, i.e. no DM necessary. basically a glorified choose your own adventure)to teach you the ropes, a quick start guide, character creation guide, and a...

It retails for [...] (and make sure you're getting the free miniatures), but Amazon sells it for [...].D&D Player's Handbook, softcover: I'm happy with it. The binding and paper quality are better than most d20 softcovers I own and, like the hardcover, it's in color. The cover looks the same as the PHB, and, from a distance, even looks like the hardcover. Premium dice: The dice set are four 6-sided dice, one of each of 4-, 8-, 12- and 20-sided dice, and two 10-sided dice (percentile dice). (One of the ten-sided dice has the tens digit, and is rolled with the normal 10-sided dice.) The dice are a mixed color of black and another color, with the numbers outlined in gold. Unfortunately, my dice had far too much black, giving the dice a black, mottled look. It shouldn't be too hard to find better dice at the...

The PHB (Player's Handbook) alone is worth 30 bucks, the full set of decent quality dice, eight miniatures and other goodies are (tasty) icing on the cake. As I write this review, amazon is selling the product for $19.77 which is just fantastic, there's really no reason not to buy if you have any interest in D&D whatsoever (unless you already have or don't need all of the contents of the kit -- and even then, it never hurts to have a spare PHB).The only real drawback that I can see is that someone might purchase this thinking that they are getting a decent gaming experience right out of the box, which is not the case. You will quickly exhaust the included "solo adventure" of every scrap of entertainment value it has, leaving you with nothing to do besides imagine what it is like to play -- unless of course you have a D&D group available, which of...
