It has a good story behind it, and it really does a good job of keeping everyone interested. That's one of the reasons why a lot of people are excited about the starter set adventure being inspired by it. They made a good choice, says a fan of the old crap who got the obscure adventure reference. ;)Jim Haltomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027543630803308847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124770754805827894.post-27528164207372007132014-06-09T11:28:18.160-04:002014-06-09T11:28:18.160-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jim Haltomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027543630803308847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124770754805827894.post-54058230179798746802014-06-09T11:27:53.522-04:002014-06-09T11:27:53.522-04:00It's all good brother! :)It's all good brother! :)Jim Haltomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027543630803308847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124770754805827894.post-53110255536659739132014-06-09T11:04:16.081-04:002014-06-09T11:04:16.081-04:00I had never heard of The Hunger Games when I saw t...I had never heard of The Hunger Games when I saw the first trailers.
