One thing I would like to see is a High Res version of the map as it is pre-formatting for the board-game. We saw a low-res version of it darkened in the Nerathi Legends: Karkoth article; that article proved that it exists outside just the board. What I mean is without the territory borders drawn and the dungeons having a grey dungeon symbol layed over them, covering up the landscape.
I'd also like the Nerathi Legends series to continue until all areas of the map are covered.
And I'd still like to hear where the Elsir Vale is supposed to be. Is it beyond the Unpassable Territory east of Karkoth or Southwest of the Iron Circle's sphere of influence?

The author of that monster posted over on ENWorld that was a typo that exists only on the website. Its actually a kind of double attack power.

Ampersands just keep getting more disappointing. If WotC absolutely must crank out D&D related side products, please establish a separate division for them with separate resources. I came to play a roleplaying game, not board games. Oh, and make a separate web site for these board games too. I am not interested seeing them on what I want to think of as D&D RPG site.

Actually its that time of year where young minds are overloaded with excess assignments and dreading the fact that more and more each day they are freezing their NADS off. Not to mention the fact that they know that when they fainlly get a break it will only be for 2 weeks and they will likely spend half of that doing homework.
Maybe, just maybe they will get a chance to get together for a day or two of D&D. Unless of course someone pulls out some board game and crushes their little hearts.
Come on people. There is a whole world outside your damn borders and that world doesn't care about board games either.

Hey now, some people enjoy board games. Also, only having two weeks for summer break is saddening.

Not unless you live in the Southern Hemisphere. But where I am, it's in the mid-90s Fahrenheit.

Hrm, I'm less than pleased with the focus on board games. By all accounts, they're reasonable - and I'm goign to get my hands on at least one when I can afford to.
But I'm not buying them for the board game. I'm buying them for the minis, and less so for the tiles. I'd far prefer to have encounter-themed minis-and-tiles boxed sets, than board games. But if buying a board game is the cost to get D&D-specific mini sets, that might have to be something I stomach.
I don't specially like the idea that my purchases would go towards sales of the board games, though, because I would like the focus of D&D to remain... D&D.
I wonder how many people are reselling the minis components on eBay...

The notion of having dungeons on a wargame map, where some of your forces can adventure for items that may give them bonuses, is straight out of the early 90's TSR boardgame "Greyhawk Wars". (And even that was a nod to the origins of D&D -- the Chainmail game -- a miniature medieval army game from which Dave Arneson evolved the idea that the 'heroes' of a miniature army went on side adventures -- i.e. D&D.
If they make the minitaures in this game usable in my PnP game the way the minis in Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Arshada-whatever are, then I'll likely drop the money on it. Otherwise, I have tons of other board wargames I can play, from Small World to Kingmaker to Risk to Wallenstein to Axis & Allies to Magnifico to Chaos in the Old World. Does the gaming world really need a D&D themed "war game"? Not unless there is something outstandingly fun, unique and excellent about it...
