[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8113162, member: 18182"] Oh good lord. I hate the lame criticisms of "cheap excuse" or "cash grab" folks sometimes throw around. This isn't marketed towards gamers who already own [B]Curse of Strahd[/B]. I'm sure WotC would love to catch some of those gamers with this product, but that's not it's intended audience. This is for gamers who don't yet own the module and would love a deluxe version of it, and for the few completists out there who need everything. Not sure if the original book is still in print, but it's not super hard to find out there in stores and online, if the deluxe version doesn't do it for you. This boxed set rocks! It's also expensive. If the value of the boxed set isn't high enough FOR YOU to justify it's price . . . that's fine, this sort of thing isn't for everybody. The "important parts" of the boxed set are the module itself (in a different format than the hardcover) and the deck of Tarokka cards. The maps, posters, and handouts are a very nice bonus. Add up the price of the hardcover adventure and the Tarokka deck, and you are not far from the price of this boxed set anyway. You're curious if they did a "proper job" . . . commenting on a review of the product? Did you read the OP review? [/QUOTE]
