[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 6650737, member: 1457"] I really like that idea. One could argue that Wrath of Ashardalon or Temple of Elemental Evil are already "D&D Boardgames", but that's not really true. Those games are merely about the least-interesting part of D&D: the tactical grid-based combat.
