Very helpful 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is very helpful for game play.I would greatly encourage the xbox live gamer to get it because it tells the respawn times for the weapons on each multiplayer map.

Somewhat dissapointed but worth it 3 out of 5 stars.

There are some good tips and advice in the pages of this guide for legendary which I beat, but I was disappointed that they did not show the location of the skulls. It is fun to read through the guide to find some interesting advice. Its worth buying for this price. Enjoy

not a gamer but.... 5 out of 5 stars.

I am not a "gamer" This was a purchase for my grandson at christmas. I am able to relate to his delight. Further, I feel that as intense as this game is the guide book was a good thing to include with the X-box and Halo game.Jamie says it is "way cool" with real great tips and tricks. I bet that you did not think that it was possible to get a big old bear hug from a 13 year old boy in front of his friends.

Demonweb: Awesome set, sadly too late 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Demonweb is the most recent, and sadly last, expansion for the D&D Minis (DDM) game line. Wizards of the Coast (WotC) has decided that they are going to be making less random (non-random and semi-random) packs in the future, and while they will contain cards for the 4th edition role-playing game, they will not be making any new cards for the DDM Skirmish game. However, this aside, they are still going to be revising all of the older sets to 2.0 rules, which is nice, but at this point you don't really want to be new to the game (unless you have a group who likes to play casually) because there will be no more support what so ever after Feburary when D&D Experience ends.

Taking that as you will, the product is amazing in almost every way compared to the last two DDM 2.0 sets (Against the Giants and Dungeons of Dread). While the paint jobs and sculps, overall, have not gotten any better, there are some very nice looking and inspiring models. There are 3 "true" dragons in this set, all of which are very attrative and quite usable in the DDM game and in the 4th ed game: The Iron Dragon Prowler, the Black Dragon Lurker, and (my favorite) the Stormrage Blue Dragon. There are two more Dragonborn, which is great for people who want to play in the RPG as a Dragonborn, but they are still both rares (which is bad for people who want to play a dragonborn in the RPG). Sadly, this set has a host of reprints, all of which are very unnessicary: A bearded devil, many more drow, a draegloth, a stirge, a dire bear, and the list goes on and on. I believe that this may have been one of the major causes of the downfall of the DDM line because, really, who needs more and more drow, more and more bears, and so on?

As far as the game and its rules go, this set goes on to clarify the "Dominated" ability and to fix its game balance. Also, the almost undesputed weakest faction, Underdark, gets a massive boost, making it finally competative with the other factions' warbands that hit GenCon this year. Pieces that are of note for their playability are the Thoon Hulk (WOW!), the Stirge, the Soulrider Devil, and the Black Dragon Lurker. Many others in the set help out Underdark a lot, I've not gotten to use enough of the set to tell you all of the good pieces.

Its very sad, because overall, this set is simply amazing. It rebalances the game (in my humble opinion), has unique models (though, as has been the trend, their sculpts and pain jobs are horrible compared to previous sets) and the themes and ideas of the DDM stats are all really fresh and interesting. If you love DDM and like to play with friends and such, I don't need to tell you to pick some of this product up (as I'm sure you've probably done that already). If you are looking to start a new game, this isn't the one to pick up because it is going to officially be a dead game in about 3 months (from this post).

0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

1. the five figures are great.
human sellsword
dwarf
warlock are all great

the yang-ti is great.
and a green dragon too.

maps:
1:
half of it is Crossroads - good.
other half of that side is Monster Lair with a small stream - good.
other side is Flooded Ruins with a river - great.
2:
one side Jungle Temple - good.
other side is Dwarven Outpost has a bit of a river and a bridge - great.

Bonus: Flooded Ruins map can be used with Dwarven Outpost map [walls and river - everything lines up!] for really big map! - truly awesome!

great maps, a dragon, other great mini's make a great bargain just for the parts contained, but the rules are good for beginners as well.

The Good and the Bad 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Let's first start out with the good about the set, which outnumbers the bad. First of all, a lot of the new minis are very good looking, especially the ones that make use of the clear plastic. Noteworthy minis include the Angel of Vengeance, the Blazing Skeleton, Doresain, the Ghoul King, the Death Titan, the Fire Titan, and others. Another good aspect of the set is that it adds epic play back into the game. The product is moderately priced, being fair in my opinion, if you buy it here or somewhere else for less than its retail price. The cards keep their fairly good layout and sharp appearance with the new epic cards being a mustard color rather than a maroon one. Its an odd choice in colors but it works. There are a lot of neat ideas in this set, many of which I hope get carried into other sets.

Now on to the bad. The first bad thing is the large amount of repeats this set has. While they are slightly different, there are repeats from other sets like the Boneclaw Impaler, the Elder Red Dragon, the Xorn Ravager, a third Owlbear incarnation, another Roper, and many others. Another thing is the fact that there are no dragonborn in this set that are not rares, making players who are seeking a dragonborn mini to have to get lucky, buy many packs, or spend $$ on singles. Lastly, the paint job on a lot of the minis are terrible (Storm Giant Thunderer is abhorrent). Plastic is still lower quality than some older sets.

If I could I would have given this product a 3.5, but I can't so I am giving it a 4. The product is generally solid overall, but many of the aspects of former sets that made them truly good falls short here.

Better quality than previous boosters 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

The figures in the new booster have greater detail and more accurate paint jobs than in previous packs. I've had good success in getting new figures in each pack. The creativity of design is fun to see - armor and shields have terrific detail and patterns, wings are better textured and even the ugliest beasts have vivid color and character depth.

Particularly good, in my amateur opinion, are the Angel of Valor, Ascendant Hellsword, and the Bugbear Headreaver (holding a reaved head, of course). Even the orc raider has a battered shield.

The new packaging makes it easier to get everything out, but it is extremely difficult to open the boxes without completely mangling them.

Legacy Minies 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

High quality minies from the Legacy series comics, as well as the Legacy of the Force series of books from DelRey books. Most characters have been created to some degree of acuracy. Some characters from other story arcs have been included, which doesn't make the most amount of sense, considering the fact that they do not show up in either the books or the comics. It would have been nice to see characters from the Dark Nest trilogy, seeing as how mostt of those characters return in the Legacy of the Force series to reprise their rolls.

I find it disapointing that there are no large or huge size minies included like a Krayte Dragon, or a chiss Claw craft... It would have also been nice to see a "ships of Legacy" pack too fill in what's still missing from the RPG saga edition books.

There are a few beautiful minies, but at the end of the day you are left unfofilled.

You can't have just one! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Excellent, excellent set, and I can't wait for more in the series. The tiles are made from a thick, durable cardstock with a ruggedly tactile veneer that makes them easy to pick up off a flat surface, instead of struggling to get a fingernail under the edge like you would with a coin.
A very nice variety of assorted flooring, stairs, bridges, and all can be used for installations, cities, and shipdecks.
The only other advice I have, beyond what a great set this is, would be to pick up more than one so you have more of a pool of tiles to draw from, if you want to build floorplans that call for duplicate tiles. I bought two, which should be fine for me but I know some GMs are getting upwards of three or four.
