how good are the older games?

[MENTION=4360]sidonunspa[/MENTION] - Obviously it's a matter of opinion but I don't think they're very good at all. I found the mechanics to be very clunky and the adventures tend to end up spiraling out of the players' control very quickly and easily. Don't play them expecting them to feel anything like a real game of D&D...

I think the older games are a ton of fun as dungeon crawls.

What I am wondering is about the mechanics. The older games are based on 4th edition mechanics, so will this one have the same mechanics. If not how will that combine with earlier games? If they release rules to port old games to 5e mechanics that would be awesome but lots of work so I doubt they do that.

Also looking forward to what tiles are included in this.

I am very interested on what Minis are included... I bought the last three games just for the minis alone.

While I am interested in the minis as well they will be unpainted...I already have enough to paint!

 

[Lord Blackstone]

Same here.. but I have almost caught up on everything I have right now... With Bones II possibly hitting in March/April... oy...
