Book Reviews of Dungeons of Dread booster (D&D Miniatures Product)
Book Review: Off to a good start, but expecting better.
Summary: 4 Stars
I started playing d&d minis right when Desert of Desolation first hit the shelves. I loved it, and immediately stocked up on Night Below, Unhallowed, Blood War, and Dragon Queen. When the new rules came out with Dungeons of Dread, I was a little trepidatious but have been won over by the way that they streamline game play and make the game more accessible to new players. I mean hey, my girlfriend is now a hard-core player and she is not the, ahem, D&D type.
I will say, though, that more than a few of the miniatures leave A LOT to be desired. In the older sets, miniatures were finely detailed and many had very interesting, dynamic poses that really brought a feeling of story to the game. New Dungeons of Dread pieces like the Bulette or Silver Dragon bring some of that back. But the majority tend to lean toward the monochromatic and plain, or the down-right poorly designed. The Orc Raider is so bland that I can't even bring myself to use it for role-playing purposes. And the Mind Flayer, one of the most feared creatures in the D&D universe, looks like he had bad nail polish spilled on him. All in all, this is a great game and the new sets are bringing some really great stuff to the table. The original early sets were also a little lacking in the mini dept. and so I am hoping that the cool cats at Wizards are slacking on the sculpts until they see what kind of reaction the new game gets. If you're wondering about the game, get it. I am sure good things are on the way.
