Great review. Got 2 questions, is it possible if i really like one hero from a specific box and I'd like to play then in scenarios from different boxes? and if i could make some changes and make a combination with all boxes and create my own scenario and so on
Only thing I don't like about Ravenloft is the inclusion of the Dragonborn as a playable character. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't enjoy Eberron. It's a petty peeve, otherwise I enjoy this system and this particular box.
Marco, thank you very much for your reviews, particularly all of them. My son and I are trying to play Dungeons and Dragons Starter set ( Red Box ) but we cannot organize our mind on how to even start the game. If you have the chance, please do a special with this D&D. We will highly appreciate your help, because you explain very well the games.
@AntonioCavicchioni run through the character creation adventure and you will get a good idea how the game works. Also, you should get a couple more people to play because one player has to be the DM, or the referee/storyteller. It's a great game. Good luck and have fun.
@marcowargamer Drizzt...yargh... Drizzt and R.A Salvatore are to fantasy fiction/gaming as Twilight and Stephanie Meyer are to Vampire mythology and fantasy. Drizzt just grinds on my nerves. The whole concept of the character is just annoying. It's like say the antichrist turning his back on his hell, then becoming a missionary in africa. I like forgotten realms fantasy, just not Drizzt. :)
@Tapewormz I completely disagree. I think Drizzt is a great character. His backstory separates him from most of the other cookie cutter characters in fantasy fiction. To each his own I guess.
@marcowargamer Thank you, i found 2 of them on amazon around that price,but god!! ashardalon is almost 80 bucks, plss tell me is ashardalon worth that much money¿? thanx again...
One of the things I didn't like about Castle Ravenloft is that something dangerous happens every single turn. There is absolutely no respite. There's no sense of creeping through a dark, dank dungeon--it's a constant onslaught of monsters and event cards from turn 1. I love the dungeon tiles, though, and will probably find some way to incorporate them in regular D&D.
I felt that this review was a great help when I was trying to decide if I should get this one or Wrath of Ashardalon first. I had played this one briefly, but really did not like the fact that a lot of the treasure cards were one-time use blessings. Thanks for the great review!
Thank you for taking the time to compare Castle Ravenloft to Wrath of Ashardalon...I have been wanting to try one of them and you helped be make, what I feel, is now an 'informed' decision. Eventualy I would like to obtain both to expand on Wrath of Ashardalon. Your reviews are informative, and well executed.
I'd like to see WotC release the Temple of Elemental Evil in this format. That is by far my most favorite epic adventure in the D&D universe. This includes return the the temple of elemental evil.
The black cat in your bookshelf looks great.
A very nice review. The game looks interesting, too bad the miniatures are so "cheap", I would prefer they were like the ones of Heroscape.

@macrosss: YES, you can mix and match anything from the different sets, and use the materials to create your own scenarios. Great flexibility!
