Count on the New Basic Dungeons & Dragons game (NBDD?) being all about miniatures and grids. I strongly believe that NBDD will be the gateway to get D&D Miniatures gamers and D&D Online game players into buying hardcover books.Artwork is part of the package. Newbies need to know what a mace looks like, what armor looks like (sadly, they'll have to go off the horribly historically inaccurate renditions in the PHB). I think the page count will be less than 100, but count on miniatures and grids. Count on it.I anticipate the NBDD box will contain:A battlemat4 player-character miniatures (Tordek, Mialee, Jovan, Lidda)12 monsters (a few orcs, some basic undead, an ogre, maybe some goblins, a wolf, and maybe a couple other animals)Set of dicePamphlet for character creation (including stats, classes, races, feats, spells, and equipment).Pamphlet with game rules (including combat, experience, vision rules, xp, and treasure)Pamphlet with a sample adventure or two.Cardboard terrain (either flat or simple punch-out cards to assemble buildings, doors, and such)Character sheets (premade and blank).I predict the rules pamphlet will be very similar to the existing D&D Miniatures skirmish game rules, if not identical. This will make it easy for D&D Minis gamers and Star Wars Minis gamers to pick up and play.We'll see how it goes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />-z</blockquote>
