sounds like fun - I love me some D&D. I haven't seen this particular starter set but other starter sets for the new edition basically have a super stripped down version of the rules - I am guessing this is similar, if you had the actual player's handbook and dungeon masters guide you would find the game a lot more recognizable to what you used to play (albeit with many, many more options for player choices). I have to ask though - hopefully the mini figure showing through the window in the box isn't supposed to be demogorgon?!? That is obviously the monster from stranger things, while demogorgon is a two headed demon. BTW I own the @demogorgon account here LOL
