[QUOTE="Rykion, post: 3303052, member: 33035"] I don't see WotC dumping the d20 and all of their established ruleset. It makes sense that any D&D based product uses at least a basic form of the rules, and the game should be compatible with D&D Miniatures game stat cards. That would allow the GM to expand their boardgame by buying the already available D&DM booster packs. I agree about playability. My point is that the D&D Basic game has few options and no real rules for advancement. Each modular box could include the main rulesbook and advanced rules for the environment and creatures it contains.(Using D&D minis stats as the basis would make this as easy as including the cards, which would have the added bonus of making the game totally useable for standard D&D.) That would make each box playable on its own, while still introducing new rules. Killing D&D as an RPG and turning it into a boardgame only would alienate the existing players. You would have to hit the mainstream quickly to prevent killing the product line. Why cater to the mainstream only when you can cater to both new and existing players? I was explaining a way to fit the game in with current WotC branding. Your ideas would work well as individual expansion box names. You would want a cohesive line identity such as D&D Miniatures Adventures, and then a product subname such as D&D Miniatures Adventures: Pirates. [/QUOTE]
