[QUOTE="Waldorf, post: 2455500, member: 34053"] Most of my encounters tend to be large rooms, but that's why I bought a large battlemat. I suspect most other people did, too. Does Wotc somehow think people haven't already ordered battlemats from Chessex? Do they think we sit around saying, 'Gee, I wish they would print up a big map so we have have more room to play'? Maybe this is their latest way of selling us the same product again and again. Lord knows I've swallowed that concept too many times to count. But from what I have seen of the product, it sucks. It's hardly worth the time or the effort on the part of the designers. The background story, if you could call it that, counts for nothing, either. And as much as I like D&D and want Wotc to succeed, I can't be some myopic cheerleader for what is otherwise a terrible product, not to mention a blatant rip-off. But hey, slap the word 'drow' on anything and I suppose you've got some automatic sales numbers to look forward to. To be frank, I'd rather run D3 Vault of the Drow for the umpteenth time than buy something like this. [/QUOTE]
