The board games are expensive, and I don't want to get suckered into buying them just because they say D&D on the tin. I've read reviews on Amazon and around the web, but thought I could bring specific questions to an audience I thought I could trust. What is your problem?I have a lot of board game geek friends that don't role-play: should the “D&D” on the box mean anything to them? Are there characters in the box they can bring to a weekly 4E or Encounters session? Do they come with a little sheet that says something like “if you like this, try these products for the full experience”?Is there anything in the box worth using at my weekly games or the Encounters sessions I organize for my FLGS? I see they come wit minis. Are they to the same scale as DDM figs? Is the plastic quality? Is the game board useable with 4E? Are there any useable rules or scenarios I could use? Other accessories in the box that justify their price if I wasn't going to use it for it's intended purpose much?Jeez, I didn't think I was going to have to spell this out.</blockquote>
