The D&D Miniatures Handbook

It's a hardcover. I think the cost is around $29.95. The cover is great, one of my favorites, ever. The book is presently being typeset.

I know that press releases are in the works, probably being given out at Gencon, so the full news should surface soon if it hasn't already.

The basics: lots of great D&D stuff useable in any D&D rpg campaign (classes, spells, monsters, feats); full head-to-head skirmish rules (including scenarios and campaigns); mass battle rules; random dungeon rules.

Sounds great. Heh. Too bad that I'm not going to invest in miniatures any time soon.

I'll probably still be able to get some use out of it, though...

I want to see the rules for those random dungeons - I assume he's talking about random dungeon maps as much as anything... something I liked about that old 1E DMG.

Cheers!

*nods* Oh yeah. Maybe kinda like old the GW board game, Advanced Hero Quest.

Mass battle rules, and if they're talking about random maps, count me in!
