| Everyone got so caught up in the Dreamblade break, it seems there was some DDM info missed from other sections of the Gama 06 images:
The best of the pictures include:
Images of the CRD box, front and back -- including a couple pics of the RPG side of the Stat card for the CRD.
And, a colorized version of the WotDQ Nightmare box art.
Feel free to look through the following:

| That Wood Elf Ranger looks mighty tiny compared to the CRD--which we well expected, but to see the two in comparison is something else.
Man, that thing looks sooo much better without that flame.
Hopefully someone will get shots of the GBD, too.
The Dreamblade stuff looks OK, but--well, um, no thanks. | |

You're telling me...one of them is holding a wrench as a weapon[:0][?]
dariustad--thanks for posting the pictures of the box of the CRD. That is quite interesting. Did you notice 2-3 more dragon books coming out this year? One is the equivalent of the Draconomicron in one of the campaign settings. One is dragons and magic. I can't remember if there was a third.
I doubt the AC will be 41 as skirmish stats tend to be nerfed.

| Of course I have. [)]
Dragon Magic really has me interested (as if you couldn't guess)!
Dragons of Faerun will also be interesting.
There might be some more mentions of dragons in Power of Faerun, as shown by the preview of Inferno from that book.
Oh yes, I am certainly watching everything draconic. [:D]
Let's ignore Dreamblade in this topic, please. It's being covered to death everywhere else. | |

| | Well remember, a lot can change when a creature makes the leap from RPG to skirmish. They have been taking even more liberties in the past sets of just adding whatever abilities they want. A lot of things barely resemble themselves in skirmish, which is kind of sad. But also kind of nice they arent restricted. I'm worried ppl will see the skirmish side of the card and start whining "But thats not what a CRD would be!" and such.. | |

| That is one big chunk of plasticrack. It's going to take months to properly air it out [:o]
The breath weapon is starting to grow on me. It looks like he's trying to warm up his toes (or his dinner).
Judging by the RPG stats you'll have to bring along the Collosal Black just to hit the darn thing. Four attacks at over +40 is pretty impressive (plus AC 41, 600 hp). My D&D players will have fits [}:)] | |

| Wow, those are some great pictures. On day I plan on going to GAMA just so I can see these things upclose and personal.
It is interesting that all the pictures were taken on the Dreamblade map/board.
I'm still uncertain about the base of the CRD. I was under the impression that it was going to have a section on the front of the base that figures could stand on with the one inch grid marked out. I did not notice that in the pictures. Does anyone else from WF remember hearing about that? | |

I was thinking it looked like the actual production dragon too. Not as much paint and a much darker body color than the pics of the one at WF. | |

The AC might not be quite as high (but I think is still the best in the game), but it's got grossly more hit points than the RPG stats.
And good luck sending chraals against it -- unless you've got some serious backup. Chraals might make good fodder, I guess... | |

It's going to go for $96, so it had BETTER be CRD-size.

You mean it won't suffer double damage from cold death bursts?
Which would be normal damage on a save or something...
(it would be disappointing to see a CRD dragon with save=10 *shudder*)
