Runebound - Traps and Terrors
Released February 2008
New Encounter Cards
"Ancient crypts, well-defended fortresses, and labyrinthine dungeons all contain countless ways for explorers to meet their ends. In addition to more traditional foes, this adventure deck expansion contains devious traps that can delay, injure, or outright destroy the unwary."

Runebound - Beasts and Bandits
Released February 2008
New Encounter Cards
"The open roads and the broad wilderness are not good places for the poorly armed or the faint of heart. This expansion fills the forests and plains of Terrinoth with treacherous bandits and savage beasts; one will take your coin, the other will take your life!"

Runebound - The Cataclysm
Released February 2008
New Adventure Variant
"On the night of the cataclysm, a star fell from the sky, and the land was shattered. Many of the free towns were destroyed; the rest fell prey to terrible curses. Only the most courageous and clever of heroes can free the remaining towns from the beasts, spells, and afflictions that plague them. In this variant game, in addition to normal adventuring, the players must face the obstacles and dangers lying within the cursed towns. If they can overcome them and successfully return from special quests, they may become the towns? saviors, and the free towns will once again be able to rebuild.
The Curse of the Cataclysm adventure variant replaces some elements of the Rise of the Dragon Lords adventure found in the base Runebound game, creating an entirely new game experience!"

Runebound - The Seven Scions
Released February 2008
New Adventure Variant
"A storm is coming; a storm unlike any the world has ever seen. It consumes all that it touches, and soon everything will be shrouded in its darkness. Your only hope is to awaken the Seven Scions of legend and, with their help, destroy the Stormlords. This variant game introduces new rules and two new types of card: Storm cards, which act as a clock (hastening the story and the game to a close), Events, and special Challenges all in one, and Scion cards, a new type of Ally that any Hero can call on in a moment of need.
The Quest of the Seven Scions adventure variant replaces some elements of the Rise of the Dragon Lords adventure found in the base Runebound game, creating an entirely new game experience!"

New Jungle themed expansion coming in 2010
As the Dragon Wars become a distant memory for the people of Terrinoth, adventurers set their sights on new realms of adventure. Ships set sail across treacherous waters for the first time in centuries to open the doors to the forgotten world of Zanaga. Chaos grips the land. The old empire of lizardmen has fallen, its people have become shadows of their ancestors, descending into savagery. The taint of an ancient evil known as Tarakhe corrupts all and the primal gods must be awoken to restore the balance of nature. Only the reptilian makhim have the rituals to summon the primal powers that can purge Tarakhe’s corruption, but heroes are needed to face the primal gods before they destroy more than just Tarakhe...
Mists of Zanaga adds a colorful new board overlay, depicting the wild jungles and swamps of Zanaga. Six brand new heroes will be able to explore this new continent, uncovering the secrets of the makhim’s rituals, encounter wandering monsters, and hunt for the elusive Lost City. Adding all-new gameplay mechanics, a variety of primal gods to face, and over 165 new cards to bring this lush landscape to life, Mists of Zanaga creates a totally new way to play Runebound. Search out the secrets of the primal gods’ power and help summon them to free Zanaga from the clutch of Tarakhe.

I did order it with all the wave 3 expansions and thinking about adding a few of the big ones as well: Sands of Al-Kalim and Mists of Zanaga, mainly. Would also be tempted into acquiring some of the wave 1 and wave 2 expansions if they are worth it.

Runebound 2nd Ed (base)
Isle of Dread (big box)
Midnight (big box)
Wave 1 mini expansions
In my opinion, at the time, The Isle of Dread was an excellent expansion and well worth the investment. Of the mini expansions, the 2 adventure Variants were also excellent, however the item expansions in particular did not add a huge amount to the game. The challenge expansions were quite nice, giving some variation in the encounters you had, and adding different themes to the deck, but not essential.
I only played once with Midnight, and it was only 2 player, which kinda didn't work very well, because one player has to be the Midnight player, and the other was the heroes. It changed the game from a free for all like Talisman into more of a semi-co-op like Descent (which may work for some people).

I plan on getting all the big box expansions in 2011 starting with the Isle of Dread, even though I have heard some conflicting reports on Dread and Zanaga. Sands is by far the 1 big box that gets the universal applause.
