This is set to be released in November - new boxed set? There's a photo of the front cover in the info I have, and looking closely, it says "INCLUDES DICE, DUNGEON TILES AND TOKENS" Does it make any sense to anyone here to release any "starter" set for 4.0 without minis? Or am I missing something? Anyone have inside info?

1. They just didn't include that it has minis in it.
2. It doesn't include a way to keep track of PCs & Monsters. While it wouldn't cost much to throw in some c/uc creatures like previous basic games, it may get you purchasing their boosters.
3. Anyone remember the old black box AD&D set that came with fold-up paper cutouts with pictures printed on them? Highly illogical, but a possibility.
Either way, I'm interested in seeing what ends up being put in the set.

Maybe it's a cunning plan so they get you interested into the game via the books and the starter kit, then you have to go and buy the stuff to play, almost as if it were false advertising which draws people to go get what they need to play.
To be honest, I don't agree with this at all, having this sceme is not only disshonest to the buyer, but if I had this treatment, I would have NEVER got into RPG's D&D in the first place..
This may seem a good idea at first, but it can only lead to bad results.
