DnD is looking to expand its player base by making its latest starter set more like a board game
Heroes of the Borderlands uses cards for character creation
When teaching new players D&D, I've taken an approach to get them rolling dice BEFORE diving into all the character building options or using pre-generated characters. If that process is enhanced with board-game tools in a new starter set, I'm in.

Once installed, the adult changing tables will likely be the first of their kind in Springfield public buildings. Money to place them comes from a property tax for disabled services that voters passed in 1978.

Repairs to the building's elevator kept the library from opening on time, to the point where the contractor triggered deadline penalties. A larger celebration for the 120-year-old building will be scheduled later this year.
