[QUOTE="spunky_mutters, post: 3735666, member: 5426"] 1. I've seen this quoted, but have never seen a source. I would take it with a grain of salt until you see an actual WotC source. 2. The quote from Scott Rouse was about the price of a cup of coffee. (paraphrasing) That leaves anywhere from $1.00 to $4.99. My guess is $3.00 or so. 3. No quote from WotC. My guess would be that the miniatures will be tied to the books that they are introduced in, and available with access to those books. That might be confusing when someone using the digital table top who has access to books his players don't tries to use some miniatures, though. It may be that the DM needs access to the books that the minis originate in, but there are no firm answers on that at this point. I wouldn't be surprised to see the minis tied to the stats, though. This would mean that outside of PC minis, you get access to the mini on the table when you add the monster to the game record for that session (or however you would describe setting up the virtual map and encounters). 4. According to various WotC sources, it will eventually surpass it. Based on several sources, you can expect that starting in October Dungeon and Dragon will have about the same amount of content as the print mags had, and that D&D insider will also have preview material for the new game. The expectation is that the Insider will continue once the game is realeased with example characters and monsters, conversion notes, designer notes, fiction, stats, and many other things ( in addition to the digital tabletop, character creation suite, and other utilities). They have stated that D&D insider would have updates Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which it has so far (even if they have been a little lacking in detail). These updates are to be rolled up for your perusal, presumably as a PDF or other aggregate document at the end of each month. It is also likely that they will see print at the end of each year in a compilation of some sort. So the answer would be Yes. Content of Dungeon + Dragon + electronic tools + extras. The free trial will apparently go until release of the new game, so you will see a good assortment of Dungeon and Dragon goodness. I don't know about the tools or extras, though . Time will tell. Good thing for us that they will be giving us 8 or so months of it to check things out. 5. I think the answer to that is a great big no, but you should get an official answer from WotC or Paizo. I imagine that the time required to digitize and prepare everything would make it cost-prohibitive even if the licenses allowed for it. [/QUOTE]
