I've been reading all I could about the upcoming products, but have not found a lot of information about this specific product (http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/waterdeep-dungeon-mad-mage-map-pack).

Anybody know exactly what will be included in it, and whether these maps will be "additional" maps to what is found in the actual book, or just larger versions (maybe at the 5' / square scale) to use when playing the encounters?

Also, anybody know what kind of material will be used (are these just paper posters, like the maps that came with a lot of the 4th edition adventures, or are they closer to the boards used for the dungeon tiles or adventure grid released earlier, where you can use wet or dry erase markers on them)?

As an aside, regarding the dice set for the new adventure and the "life counter" spindown, anybody has a picture of that or can explain exactly how it works? I've seen references to it being similar to a MTG life counter, but MTG counters don't need to go much higher than 20, so... Is it like one of those old abacus-style Duelist life counters, or one of these roulettes with a figurine in the middle that you rotate to point to your life total?

First I have heard about the map pack, I am interested in that as well. Considering the price point, I am guessing something like this: https://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/250932?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o2&scid=scplpGF972783&sc_intid=GF972783&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjN7YBRCOARIsAFCb934qIAWZyqnNawAREXqk satyhsjN__QdZeaIv5DWaPY7HlS258Yc2kwaAt8-EALw_wcB

So likely wet erase, but not overly thick. A lot of the pathfinder fold out maps were similar as well.

As for the life counter, its a double dial, 0-10, so you can go up to 99. There were pictures of it here: http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/waterdeep-dragon-heist-dice

Never looked at that top banner on the product page (for the dice & life counter). Thanks for pointing it out (and confirming I won't be needing / getting those).
