[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 6299927, member: 78752"] The more I think about it, the more this is what I am expecting. I'd rather have character generation rules, because that is what would be best for /me/, but... well, here are my points: - If this product is /not/ Tyranny of Dragons, that means there is going to be /another/ standalone D&D product releasing this summer other than the PHB. Does that make sense to anyone? - I am going forward assuming that this product is Tyranny of Dragons. - If Tyranny of Dragons is also supposed to be this huge overarching multimedia push that is going to drive the first several months of D&D narrative, it has to be usable with the PHB -- it can't just be a starter kit. - Therefore, I think it is most likely that Tyranny of Dragons will consist primarily of adventure content, with supplementary rules probably including pregenerated characters intended to hold players over until the release of the PHB. - When the PHB is released, those pregenerated characters -- or characters custom built at a Gen Con workshop or privately at home -- can be leveled up beyond the capacity of the Tyranny of Dragons boxed set and play can continue through the remainder of the Tyranny of Dragons adventure and subsequent releases. I'm just trying to think about this so-called "starter game" in the context of all the fleeting glimpses of strategy we've seen over the last six months. I think a bigger picture is starting to materialize. [/QUOTE]
