News from about the place

From Tom Baxa's (DDM sketch artist) website: "D&D Miniatures: Tom designed 5 minis for set 10, and is designing another 5 for set 11, and painting the box covers for set 10!"

Majorie reported on maxminis.com that the Elminster figure is being released as a promo at GenCon (see Ed Greenwood).

Elminster of Shadowdale: CG 16/60; Reg: 100 pts, Level 12, Spd 6, AC 18, HP 90; Epic: 269 pts, level 20, Spd 6, AC 26, 200 hp. The epic card has a blue face, with a red/brown reverse. the red/brown side has a card-sized image of the line art on it.

On GamingReport.com: A discussion with Mary Elizabeth Allen, Brand Manager for DDM. Apparently Dragons will be big in War Drums. :-)

Also from GamingReport.com: Dragon Magazine will be working with WOTC to do some big poster maps in Dragon made to miniature scale will work for D&D and D&D miniatures, and will be tournament legal, and Erik will ensure they are highly usable for D&D players (look for 2-3 of those in upcoming year.)
