[QUOTE="GarrettKP, post: 7779513, member: 6811472"] While you are technically correct, it is very easy to use context clues to rule some of this out. There is a history of big Hardcover adventure books, and they are consistently popular and profitable. It makes little sense for them to go away from this model for their big adventures, especially since Beadle and Grimm is doing premium box sets. You don't want to step on the toes of your partners. They have also spoken openly about possibly doing a setting book for Eberron. While this could possibly be a box set, it still makes more sense for them to present it as a core hardcover book, especially since it will contain new rules for players. Finally, during the Stream of Many Eyes they reserved the big announcements for hardcover books directly related to the core RPG, even tho they also "announced" a new board game during the stream (Vault of Dragons). There is one constant here: the main product announcements focused on the core RPG, not on branded side ventures like board games or card games. It would be extremely out of character for them to take the focus of the game of D&D by making a big announcement on a D&D Branded Board Game. Also, while Shelly is primarily associated with Avalon Hill and the games she has help produce there, it should be noted she is credited in every D&D book this edition as a member of the D&D Team. She could have easily contributed to a product without it having been a board game. Even if it wasn't as a writer. Whatever the case, we will find out soon. But I don't expect any of the big announcements to be Avalon Hill branded, and I do fully expect 4 D&D branded products related directly to the TTRPG to be announced. [/QUOTE]
