Post by Edward Kim over on Facebook DDM Guild on the WotC Skirmish Game:

- The game is called Dungeon Command.
- It comes in fixed content, themed, boxed sets (a "heroes"-themed box and a Drow themed box are the 1st ones to come out).
- 12 (if I remember correctly) pre-painted figures.
- Some figures are just repaints, some are re-purposed. I don't remember if they said there are any new ones in there at all, although they definitely didn't rule out the possibility of adding new scuplts in the future.
- $40/box, though the game can be played with only 1 box. (A little spendy, I know)
- Comes with monster cards compatible with the D&D Adventure system games (Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, Legend of Drizzt)
- A worldwide gameday will take place to celebrate the release.
- Tournament floor rules are being written by Chris Tulach, WotC's head of organized play (and all around nice guy)
- No plans are in place to add a ranking/ELO system.
- Major tournament will be held @ GenCon 2012.

"I'll also drop this tidbit that you won't find in the transcripts - Chris said he was perfectly happy to allow the Guild to continue operating the way it has been."
Very good news indeed.
Thanks Edward.

Wheew. SO nice to get good news every now and then concerning our game. Now we just need to hear from Tried that he is willing to continue and we're good to go on some of the projects we have brewing...
Tulach is back from XP this week and I am trying to set up a brief call on a couple issues.
Do not doubt my resolve; question only which form it will take.
Guildmaster Head of Organized Play
Removing all doubt on your resolve.
Glad to hear from you and even more glad to see that you are as committed as ever. Thank you for doing all the things you do, Tried.
Yup, Chris also said he was in contact with Tried, so we will still have impact. I just wanted him to know that we as a community feel like we can still contribute to the success of the new game, even as we enjoy the old.
