I think the D&D Minis and the D&D Basic Game are more likely portals for them.
Cheers!

Geron Raveneye said:Something that might take more of a budget than WotC or Hasbro are willing to sink into this, but how about spinning a TV series off of the second D&D movie? It certainly was "D&Dish" enough in my opinion, even if some of the wooden acting would have to be smoothed over, and it might get youngsters into the game, trying to create their own adventures like what they saw on TV. Or does that sound too silly to work?

Ok, seriously new, barely 2 months since i've started.
Basically i'm DMing my younger bro through the Sunless Citadel, and after playing thru the Basic Game, we found the Citadel real tough to run due to the lack of maps. Honestly, maybe we are spoiled by the Basic Game or something, but trying to sketch rooms out on pieces of transparency over the DM Guide's foldout map is very exhausting!
