Title: D&D Lite For Those With Limited Time
Review: Who am I:Middle aged married guy who loves Sci fi, video games and fantasy novels. Used to play D&D and then AD&D around twenty years ago. Haven’t been involved with any serious groups since then so I have no experience with any editions of D&D that cause such a rift in the community. This means that I am not hopelessly in love with any specific Edition of D&D.-Note for various D&D Edition FanGirls and FanBoys- If you are a 4th Edition Hater and can’t get past that, you most likely will not enjoy these games as they are based, in general, on the 4th Edition rule set. If you don’t know what that statement means, or if you are capable of enjoying what each Edition has to offer, you should have no problems.Why I love the D&D Adventure Systems:Castle Ravenloft(CR), Wrath of Ashardalon(WoA) and Legend of Drizzt(LoD): They work as a stand alone product and offer a dungeon crawling, limited leveling, monster slaying experience with no previous knowledge of how D&D works. And all in sessions that can be finished in an hour or two. The minimal time commitment involved is fantastic.Or, if you find yourself filled with nostalgia and desire a fuller, longer campaign with further leveling options or new characters, these games can be tweaked to allow for that. Especially with some of the user created content online, the photoshop templates on boardgamegeek.com in particular are wonderful. Also this [….]address has a plethora of new content. The extra leveling options are definitely my favorite. The truth is that I screamed in happiness when I ran across them. I sounded like a ten year old girl getting a pony. A unicorn pony. with wings. A Unicorn Pegasus Pony that appeared in a shimmer of rainbow colors. And now I am deeply ashamed………..*sigh* I am such a nerd.The game system totally allows for expandability in many ways. It’s kind of a gateway drug for D&D honestly. I find myself consistently wanting just a bit more of the actual RPG experience. We tweak the game a bit and suddenly our experience is just a bit fuller and more satisfying. Not nearly as detailed and time intensive as an actual D&D or Pathfinder game though. Such a great balance for us.They don’t have to be expanded upon though, to be immensely enjoyable. Any of the three games are enough in and of themselves to be hugely gratifying and offer much re-playability. The expandability is just something that makes them extra cool and versatile in my opinion.All three systems use totally interchangeable materials. Some of the cards may be context sensitive and not seem to fit in a particular environment but other than that you can use everything in each of the games. This provides Awesomeness Bonus of +2.The map tiles and figurines both are an unbeatable value and can be easily incorporated into a “real” D&D session.Everything in the box, other than the manuals, is of superb quality. The figurines alone would easily cost you double what you pay for the set here. And if you paint figurines, which I do, you will have just gained around forty new minis to paint. Joy in and of itself there.Possible Cons:I saw in the review for one of the three games that some dude was just totally disgusted with how these games “punish” the players for almost every activity they engage in. The guy was totally a Hater. However, he wasn’t necessarily wrong. The game does seem to be constantly throwing things at you that often don’t feel fair. Notably, the Encounter cards. Which brings me to the next con and a solution to the “punishment” issue….The instruction manual will not answer every question that will come up. It is left up to the players to decide how certain things should work. Which is how a “real” D&D game works. Your group plays the game the way they want to play it. If you simply cannot function without every rule spelled out for you, this may be a problem. Otherwise you’ll be fine. And in terms of rule tweaking and the punishment issue- we decided to change how often we draw encounter cards as well as a couple other minor aspects of the game. This has served to make our sessions a lot more fun. Don’t be afraid to tweak the rules in order to play the game how you want to play it.The manuals are pretty cheaply put together. They may not hold up well to use by younger players or spilled drinks. I took ours apart and put the pages in plastic binder inserts. We now have all the material for all the games in a single, sturdy, custom decorated notebook. Which is awesome btw. (Disclaimer for claim of awesomeness: I created the custom artwork:)Space. With all the cards and map tiles and bags of monsters and tokens that get used in a typical session, you may find you need a bit more space than an average board game. All of the aforementioned items can quickly end up being a mess. As a solution we have everything securely contained in varying sizes of ziplock bags. Including the map tiles in a 1 Gallon size bag. Perfect for storage and during play.There is no actual role playing or in town scenarios. If you want to get into a brawl over the serving wench’s honor at The Yawning Portal Inn in the city of Waterdeep, then you should just find a gaming group and play Pathfinder or D&D(any Edition). Or perhaps, after stumbling into a gathering of Dirty Orcs in the Gloomy Forest of Gloom and Terror, you want to attempt to use an illusion to convince them you are a deity and sell them into slavery in the Land of Thay. As opposed to just killing them. Again, just go find a full-on game of D&D. These systems can be worked to allow for things like that to some degree, but they aren’t designed to be open world or allow for anything other than a dungeon crawl with combat and a final, combat based, objective.So:If you want “real” D&D, then you may be more satisfied finding a group and getting involved.If you want a game that allows you to engage in D20 based combat, with figurines, that represent a character with minimal leveling capacity. And that can be played by anyone. These systems may be just the thing for you.Also of note: The Dungeon Command games have interchangeable map tiles, monster cards and figurines that can be used seamlessly with the Adventure Systems. I love this as it ads even more expansion options.

Title: Easy to learn for young D&D fans
Review: Great visuals, great minis, great fun.Health and power are lowered to make the game smooth as possible. Story is a little eh. But a great starting place for anyone wanting to try to get into D&D

Title: A must Have for any D&D Enthusiast!
Review: It took me a while to get the rules of play. I even watched this game played on Youtube to get the gist of how things go down. Once I started my own solo game, I was totally hooked; there was no going back. Hours whizzed past! I started a game at around 2pm and hit it hard until 6:30 or so. It’s THAT fun! It’s so fun that I went and bought Castle Ravenloft! I am officially a D&D player! Feels good to say that!The board game is more fun than any video game, though I enjoyed playing Baldur’s Gate! With the board game, your imagination does all the graphics rendering, your mind crunches the numbers, and the 20 sided die sets the pace.Speaking of pace, this is slow, steady, but tense exploration of a deep, dank dungeon that can go in any direction, and offers dozens of tricks, traps, and monsters! It’s a blast as a one player adventure. Imagine how friggin’ awesome it would be with a full party of you and four friends! I absolutely LOVE the 3D pieces that come with this game.HINT: if some of your figures are bent, you can run them under warm water or even use a heat gun (or hair dryer) to help you reshape them!

Title: From board game, to potential campaign, to an affordable collection of minis; just too much to love about it
Review: When I think of dungeons and dragons … I imagine Dungeons AND Dragons, which is exactly what this is. You fight the biggest, meanest, most voracious Dragon the demigod Ashardalon in his dungeon. There is no Dungeon Master, just players getting together for an express D20 getaway. Are there other games? YeahPerhaps they are more detailed? YupDeeper? IndeedBut I had a blast with a game that to me can be lighthearted and quick or (with a little imagination) an in depth full on DnD experience with many steps in between with the more characteristic features of the grandady of all RPGs.I absolutely love it. This reminds me of the game called Dungeon that made many a happy afternoon when the NES was the hot thing in the market and dinosaurs ruled the earth.Figures are very well made, as are all the other assets… Fully compatible with normal DnDCheck let’s plays to see if the game style is your kinda thing; some hate it so check it and judge that aspect on its own merit. But even if you thought the game sucked… You can switch it up, with a little bit of imagination (or a good ol google search) you can turn it into a 4th edition campaign or roll your own for 3.5/pathfinder (personal preference), 5 or … even original DnD type of game.Even if you still think it’s a junk game (I disagree, but it’s a common statement and everyone is free to have their own opinion) then … you have a very low cost alternative to get great minisThe point is, I see many reasons to love it. Either as a whole or subset worthy of nothing short of 5 stars. See videos and make up your own mind, and let the good times roll (d20)

Review: En un juego de mazmorreo, muy divertido y de reglas sencillas, las minis son buenas y la del dragón es genial. Es un poco dependiente del idioma aunq es un inglés muy sencillo y fácil de dominar. La caja tiene mucho contenido entre losetas de buena calidad, muchos tokens, muchísimas cartas y una buena cantidad de minis. Tiene unas picas variaciones respecto de los demás juegos de la serie. Muy disfrutable.

Review: Ótimo Dungeon Crawler, que pode ser jogado sem o auxílio de aplicativos e ainda é possível jogar sozinho. Chegou antes do tempo previsto. Só acho ruim a dificuldade de conseguir esse tipo de produto no Brasil. Muito difícil encontrar os outros boardgames de D&D: Castle Ravenloft, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Temple of Elemental Evil, Tomb of Annihilation, etc. Também seria bom se tivessem boas traduções desses jogos no Brasil. A versão em português do Dungeon of the Mad Mage veio com alguns problemas de tradução.Enfim… Resumindo, para quem gosta do sistema de combate de D&D, é um jogo realmente legal, principalmente jogando com amigos, e as miniaturas podem ser aproveitadas também para jogar o RPG de mesa.
