Recently, a coworker told me they have started playing D&D with friends and they have shown me pictures of their gaming materials... and they really look like one of those introductory D&D tabletop games: character sheets on colorful cardboard, a foldable grid with built-in walls riddled with miniatures, etc.
I don't have access to the photo and I think this stack is more qualified at answering my question than boardgames, and that is entirely because the character sheets pictured Jozan and Mialee, two of the 3rd edition iconics, and they looked exactly like they look in the PHB for D&D 3e or 3.5e in the classes chapter.
I suppose the iconics never appeared in other editions - 4e didn't have them and I've never handled 2e player manuals but I think the pictures were in black and white there.
Am I right in saying that the presence of the iconics strongly suggests that this is a 3e or 3.5e era boardgame?
If identifying the exact version of the boardgame is important, The two sheets were in portrait orientation, had spaces for tracking level and HP using a token to mark the current one at the two sides and the two I saw had blue and yellow backgrounds if my memory serves me well.
I think I have seen cards around the character sheet, probably to track equipment.
