ya i found the constant encounters annoying. a great solution is to find a random alarm app which i did for my android phone. i set it to go off once randomly every 10 minutes and whoever happens to be playing when the alarm rings draw a card. u could also roll a dice to simulate random encounters. they also use the term "tile" on cards for both a dungeon tile AND what should be a square within the tile used for movement.

Well, we played it. Sadly, I think this game is too difficult, too metagame, and too complicated to enjoy. Every player sets off a trap every damned round unless they explore a new room on the grid (which at the very least spawns a new monster, plus a 50% chance of also triggering a trap). Maybe we would get better if we kept playing, but it's not a fun game. Even the old "Dungeon" board game had more soul to it.

I think these guys were around 12th level when they fought Ashardalon the red dragon – I pulled him from the Temple of the Dragon Cult module from Dungeon Crawl Classics. The dragon's death was a required component for a spell to tear a rift between the Prime Material and Negative Material planes, and as a reward for the sacrifice, an evil god granted Ashardalon unlife as a dracolich. The party faced him again at 19th level, and he was a CR 23 encounter. Actually, he was Dragotha from "Into the Wormcrawl Fissure" in Dungeon Magazine. I just fit it into the existing storyline.

I can't wait to get this board game.

I'd have to ask my DM what level Ashardalon was but we were level 19 and afterwards were level 20. We fought him at level 8 first as a red dragon and then my DM modified him to be an insane undead dragon that we fought at the end. We have one session left to kill the God who resurrected him so we can become epic. I'm a full elf rogue.

Nice!!! What level were you at/what level was Ashardalon??? He is surprisingly tough in this game, my buddy Quigley drew his card on the fourth turn and we still had a rough go of it. Nothing more satisfying than killing a Dragon!
