2010 Fun Fact: I have a theory that a lot of the nostalgia people feel about the "red box" is actually about the magenta box with the red book inside—the Basic Set that included B2, Keep on the Borderlands. But I dutifully recreated the actual Red Box for the Essentials starter.

2010 Fun Fact: I'm particularly proud of the implementation of the choose-your-own-adventure character-creation in the 4e Red Box, and I think it would be fun to recreate it for 5e. Decide what class of character to play based on how you react to a narrative situation!

2010 Fun Fact: In the 4e Red Box, 42 is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. (You go there if you want to do something that the choose-your-own-adventure can't account for.) pic.twitter.com/JSWJILTfTo

2010 Fun Fact: I'm also proud of the poster map in the Red Box. It's made to be modular—you can rearrange the four quarters of the map into different configurations. I assembled the map from dungeon tiles in my living room. pic.twitter.com/LK1AQXvxA6
