That's actually a great idea. As a AD&D grognard, I wasn't too wild about the complexity of D&D. The Basic Set rules aren't as complex as D&D 3.x, yet are much better ("simulationist") combat rules than AD&D.

The miniatures of the Basic Set are great, and the templates are high quality, yet you don't have so many of them you have to organize them. Plus this is the **only** D&D miniatures product with a fixed set of mini's.

Personally, I enjoy low level adventures very much. There's enough danger that players fear their lives. Players prefer to think and solve problems, rather than absorbing damage.

And at $25, this Basic Set still costs less than **one** core book.
