The Alternity Box Set is an introductory adventure set for both Game Masters, and the Players. At $9.99 you won't be going wrong with this box set. The set includes an Advenute book, with three adventures, a Rules book, a full color GM screen, five dice with one,TSR embroided dice bag, and eight pre-generated player characters.

The rules themselves are the Fast Play Rules but in certain areas, like combat, they have been brought more to the complexity of the main Alternity game. Besides all the extras that come with this box set this one also has alot of replay value attached to it. Beside the three adventure, which are in the Star Drive universe, the Rules book contains ten pages of aliens, monsters, and NPCs for additional adventures beyond the base three adventures. Incident At Exile was a great introductory adventure but if given a choice between the this and Exile, go for this product. Its a cheap way to get into a great RPG and it includes dice.

Style: 5 (Excellent!)
Substance: 4 (Meaty)
