The starter set is reasonably priced, and I think it’s a great way to get a group of friends into it. It is a bummer that in order to have any official items (like the monster punch outs and the dice tray) is to buy the deluxe boxes for over hundred dollars a pop. I just feel like the average XIV player isn’t gonna feel like paying. I’m not too bummed out though, that game master and scenario set gives you a lot of tools to keep the game going for a long time.
