Heh, I actually love minis.
So two pictures, one with, and one without minis. I imagine they want to show off all the options.

The second picture is definitely the opening of Cave A. Wish I could tell something about the sheets though.

On the bright side, maybe having a combat with a substantial number of minis in a tight space means a move away from the ultra-tactical style of 4E?

Goldenrod sheets and the classic, B2 map eh? Smells like an attempt to channel old-school charm

I hated the 20x20 room packed full of orcs, ugh. Fighting = tactics.

No doubt we'll see a character sheet real soon now.

What exactly is the purpose of having "open playtests" under a NDA? I don't think that means what WotC thinks it means...

Open to anyone that wants to play...and sign an NDA. As opposed to closed playtests, where the players are handpicked.

No battlemat...

And the map of the Caves looks like it was taken straight out of B2.

This has been one of my curiosities. Does this new system mean I can just grab an old 1E module and run it with no conversion? Maybe we'll find out in the near future!

To actually play in the D&D:Next games you have to sign an NDA. The rest of DDXP and all the seminars do not require the NDA. I doubt we'll be seeing a character sheet soon.
