The adventure is great and the stripped-down rulebook seems like it'd be ideal for leaving on the players' side of the table as a quick reference. But they're both made out of incredibly flimsy slick paper and seem unlikely to hold up to that sort of handling. The enormous depth of the box suggests that WotC thinks groups are going to put something else in the box with those materials, but there's nothing obvious that people would want to. (In contrast, all of the Tails from Equestria adventures and supplements fit inside the Curse of the Statuettes box, as does the rulebook, so it becomes a de facto carrying case for everything, especially as the box includes the screen and a set of dice.)If WotC is really going to be re-releasing older adventures (which I think is a dubious claim -- Tyranny of Dragons was so old and so early, it needed updating, and reviews say that the changes weren't as substantive as needed, while Strahd offers an obvious opportunity to do a spooooky fall deluxe set), I'd like to see Lost Mines put out in a sturdier format, possibly with the starter rules as the beginning of the hardback.</blockquote>
