Considering I love D&D, I might be getting this. I got Conquest of Nerath after you played it, so I will probably be getting this- what's more, I have the 5th Edition Starter Edition- but I didn't get any painted miniatures! I also have Dungeon Command, so I can add those allies and enemies to the fight.
@PaulDarcy9 жыл бұрын
Llamad Mow I should have been more clear about the Starter Set miniatures. The miniatures come with the miniature pack called Icons of the Realm: Starter Set. It is a see-through pack with six miniatures in it (five are the five in this game plus Drizzt). The Starter Set for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition comes only with a pack of dice, and the Rulebook and starter Campaign book, again with the same 5 characters but not the miniatures. Sorry to confuse if I did. Thanks for watching along!

these games are a great idea I just am disapointed that you have to end your turn on the edge of a space and be attacked every turn. It limits the amount of strategies you can do each turn....

Would you recommend this for total tabletop begginers? Been looking for a while to get into board RPGs but hundred of rule pages and no visual stimuli on most games seem overwhelming, but this look quite good since it's all packed in
@PaulDarcy8 жыл бұрын
Yes, if you want a relatively simple RPG in a box this one will work quite well. There can be a few ambiguous rules to figure out though, but once you do it's pretty straight forward. Thanks for watching along!

All the D&D Adventure game series games are rather simplistic, but that's their appeal I think. I don't have Dungeon Saga so can't compare the two games except for what I've seen in reviews and some play throughs. I like to be able to play solo and so Dungeon Saga has not appealed to me much even with the solo rules which seem quite bad from what I can gather. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching along!

+Paul Darcy hello again! i did a couple missions with some friends and a few things are not quite clear: first, i've had two action figures broken (troglodyte + fire bat), did you have such a problem? -When you put a Rage of Imix token, does it activate immediately? I guess yes but... Is there any way to remove those? -Adventure 3, it's not clear to me about how to reveal the villagers? it's written that if you don't reveal a character matching someone face up, then you put it face down. Then, how do you put them face up if, at the beginning, you don't have anyone face up? Thanks.
@PaulDarcy8 жыл бұрын
+xavdu80 Yes, I had 1 fire bat broken off the stand - super glue fixed it. That was my only mini issue though. As for the Imix tokens, yes they trigger immediately and they stay - I don't think you can get rid of them so best not stick around on that particular tile! How I play the villager mission is once I reveal one villager I leave it face up - then when I find the second of the same face I've found the doppleganger . . . make sense? Thanks for watching along!
@xavdu808 жыл бұрын
+Paul Darcy ty for such a quick reply. So for mission 3 you don't take into account the stupid and paradoxical rule stating to put the villagers face down; makes more sense! As DM, would you show the bosses in the adventure coming prior the beginning? ty

I have 2 questions about the rules 1- Are you able to have more that one advantage token? Are they cumulative? I know one disadvantage token cancel an advantage token but my question is if I'm able to have more than one advantage token (or more than one disadvantage token) 2- When you pass over a trap and deactivate it. Are you able to still moving? I mean I have 5 speed, I consume 2 to move up to the trap, roll a dice and deactivate it (or maybe not), am I able to use the rest of the speed (3 squares) to still moving? Thanks in advance for your clarification
@PaulDarcy4 жыл бұрын
Can only have adv or dis-adv once, so they don't stack. You can just walk over a trap (it will trigger) but doesn't stop you in your tracks. If you actively disable it though you have to stop. Thanks for watching along!

quensalters Having collected a few (couph, hundreds) of previous Dungeons and Dragons miniatures before Wizkids got involved, I have to agree. While the paint jobs are actually pretty good, the miniatures themselves are not of as high a quality (plastic material and poses) as the ones from the previous sets.
