Is there a core D&D game I need to buy or can I play this standalone?

This can be a standalone game but once you have others like it, characters can be interchangeable amongst some other things. Great game...I play with my 3 kids (ages 6, 10, 13).

Stand alone game, though the miniatures can be used in D&D;, Pathfinder, or other RPG if you like.

This is a standalone game that requires nothing else whatsoever. You don't even need to know HOW to play D&D.; It can be used as a gateway game for exposing someone that may later want to play D&D; but the Wrath of Ashardalon is completely independent. You can add the other two D&D; boxed games or play those as standalone as well.

Each of the D&D; boardgames are standalone. You needn't buy anything else to play! It even comes with the dice you need. This is the best of the three (Ravenloft and Drizzt are the other two), so you would be making a good choice with this one.

This is stand alone. Not very dungeons and dragons though playstyle is different

Hi Michael, about the miniatures you have yes they will work fine but will need to download or make your own new monster cards which you can find templates over the internet for that purpose I buy a lot of the old minis and make new monster cards for the mentioned minis to keep my friends entertained.about the old maps well the dungeon tiles that comes on this game are assembled with each other like puzzles and all the actions/powers for PC's (Person Characters) and monsters are based on distance which you count as tiles.I know you can adapt a lot of old and current D&D; content into this boardgame is up to you how you want to do it.

Hey this is not the D&D; 4th edition, it is a separate game of its own with few elements from the D&D; series, much easier to play because you don't need a DM or make character sheets. Every player controls the monsters and every player controls their own hero's.

Almost all of the Munchkin games are strictly card games. This is a game on its own, and unless you purchase a very specific Munchkin game (they are all stand-alone for the most part) you should never ever need a board to play it. This is not an expansion, but can be added to other Munchkin games if you really want to.

You can play straight campaign. There are some head to head games on here that are side missions as well

For sure! I had never played an RPG or DM'd a game, and I DM'd the Beginners game for my group of friends (only one of them had ever played an RPG before). It's really easy to learn and the adventure that comes with the beginners set is spelled out for a DM and makes it very easy. We had a lot of fun! BTW, there is also an additional adventure called "Long Arm of the Hutt" that continues right after the beginners box adventure, and it's available for free download from FFG's site. I'm just about to finish that adventure, to get through both of them took 7 2 hour play sessions, so you'll be set for quite awhile!

Hello Jackson F. This game is BASED on 4th Edition, but it does NOT follow the exact same rule-set. This game is a STAND-ALONE game and does not require any PHBs, Monster Manuals ETC.. This game has its own rulebook and set of rules similar to 4th Edition. Basically, this is a board game, not a fully featured RPG like Dungeons and Dragons Table Top. This game can be completed without a DM and can be played with 1 (solo) or more people. If you need help finding 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons Quests, Books, or Tokens, ask and I can help-Joshua, Dungeon Master 4 yearsGame Master 2 Years Hello Jackson F.

Yes. The core set comes with one Xwing, and two Tie Fighters, plus scenarios for one-on-one play.It starts out fun and simple, then gets better and more complex as you make additions.

You can definitely play this one without having played the original. This one has the added dynamic of the dragons roaming the seas (that have the ability to sink your boat) and being able to change direction and how many are on the board. This is not an expansion pack, so no worries. I don't know if you can play "without the dragons" but I don't see why not, especially if you have smaller children that may have a harder comprehending the dynamic of rolling dice to add dragons/change direction.

Hi! That depends on what sort of games you play. I currently have 2 because I love to play scenario-based games and use variable point games between 150 and 450 each. I bought two of them at once because I knew I wanted to have at least 6 t/f and 3 x-w. So is more cost effective to buy 2 core sets and the remaining ships separated (to get the unique pilots and habilities). Bottom-line is that you need at least 1 x-w and 1 t/f expansion as long as the core set if you want the cool pilots, so if you test the game and like it I would recommend you to get a copy of each first. But if you already have one of each and want to increase your fleet size I would totally recommend getting another core for price, extra dice and spares (plus the cool box). I hope it helped! May the force be with you!

This is the game plus the add-ons. You don't need to buy anything else. Just make sure you have a Steam account.

This is not 4.0. It is a simplified version and it is OK. If you want to roleplay or play a real RPG this is not the game. But this is a great entry level game to start learning D&D; and the minitures are great.

I recommend just buying the 5th edition starter kit and finding a few friends.also look into roll20 website you can play there for free and they have all kinds of D&D; games

Yes, it's totally compatible with the previous games. Check the D&D; website as well to see if they have expanded adventures for the combo, like they do for the previous pair!

I only puchased 1 core set myself and all the expansions. Fantasy Flight says you should get 2 to start with.

Pathfinder is stand alone. I highly recommend it. I own original plus expansions,zombies, apocalypse, and this is one of my favs. I suggest the gobsmacked and dragons expansions to just add more monsters.

No you do not, can be played on its own or with base game. Both are great games.
