[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 3178379, member: 3586"] Note that the current model for introducing people to the game is: Step 1: D&D Basic Game Step 2: D&D Player's Kit and D&D DM's Kit Also, the adventure [i]Scourge of the Howling Horde[/i] is specifically designed for new players and DMs, and likely its follow-up [i]The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde[/i] as well (levels 2-7). Doing non-random sets of minis is something that Wizards has contined to investigate to see if is feasible; sadly not, save for the Basic Game. No. I really doubt this, mainly because even the first half of adventuring is overwhelming to newcomers. It also is extremely unfriendly for experienced gamers. ("So, you're saying I need [i]two[/i] books to create my character?") The Rules Cyclopedia was great because everything was finally together. Only if the system is simplified. :) Err... what exactly is a 'classic' art style, anyway? I think that what we'll see is a different style of art than in the 3e core books, but the 3e core books don't dictate what 3e art looks like in any case!
