Hi again,
I am thinking about purchasing BR, but I have some reservations about
starting something completely new to me. I've DMed since about the mid-80s
and don't know if I want to spend that much on a new campaign world. I just
had some questions for anyone out on the list who would care to answer:

1. Do Arthurian-type Legends adapt well to this campaign setting? (Merlin,
Holy Grail, Excalibur, Lady of the Lake) Or, would you recommend making up
another world?

2. What if anything is detailed in the box set?

3. Are there thumbnails of the realms? Or, are the realms all contained in
their own books?

4. What problems have you come across in your campaigns? Are the rules for
realms pretty complete?

5. Can a commoner become a king? Or, do you have to begin as a noble to
rule?

6. Are there some rules for Etiquette? Jousting? Fencing/Deuling?

7. Are human multi-class players allowed?

8. Are there any new character classes in the BR set? {Kits}? The old
chevialier class?

9. Are there any new monsters in the BR set?

10. Does the history of the world appeal to you? Does it seem too
simplistic? Is there room for the DM to expand on?

11. Are there raise dead and resurection spells? Are clerics all powerful?

12. Just as an aside have any of you used elements of Monty Python's The Holy
Grail? I know it would probably throw off the mood of the setting, but I
just love that movie (Knights of Nee and all).

I guess that's my top 12 questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

M.
