They could also have 6 (12" x 12") cardboard tiles (with some wall and door pieces), 24 class and equipment cards for each character, and maybe 24 event cards. They would have a rulebook, an adventure book and the necessary dice.Any of these boxes could act as the basic game, though each will have a different mix of PC minis (in terms of class and race), different class, equipment and event cards.These basic boxes cover low-mid levels (effectively up to level 12). All of the theme sets would have a slightly smaller companion set (maybe $40) touching upon high-level/epic gaming.So Companion Box #1 might go to Fire Giant Mines and the Plane of Fire. It could have the likes of Fire Giants, Iron Golems, Efreeti, Pit Fiends and generally more powerful monsters. So instead of bringing out Monster Manual 1, 2, 3, Manual of the Planes, Oriental Adventures and so forth. Wizards of the Coast would bring out a different boxed set based around those themes every other month.A Gray boxed set could be for the Astral Plane (fighting against Githyanki etc.)...the Companion set could be against the Lich Queen of the Githyanki.A Purple boxed set could for the Undercaverns of the Drow...the Companion Boxed Set could be the Queen of the Demonweb Pits.A Silver boxed set might have something akin to Expedition to the Barrier Peaks with a sort of Swords & Sorcery vs. Sci-fi flavour.Each set would add new PC classes and races, new skill cards, new magic items, new spells.Any thoughts?</blockquote>
