First of all, a giant pat on the back for you, the BGG community, for making this already cool game even cooler. thumbsup

Since so many of you are coming up with really ace stuff I'm personally finding it hard to keep up. Especially since I've still not finished playing through the base game Adventures. So I thought it would be nice to list all the Adventures so far in one place. And also so I can download them when I get home!

If people have better/more appropriate images for individual items please let me know and I'll adjust them. And feel free to add your own and I'll update this list accordingly. So, in no particular order here they are...


EDIT 1 - thanks to Dicky P (Boom04) for help with the polls and for the idea of doing a geeklist in the first place. cool


EDIT 2 - Index of what the ratings mean:

Essential - just perfect, encapsulates what Castle Ravenloft means to you
Excellent - cleverly realised, great to play, will try again
Good - replayable and fun, nice addition to the game
Average - pretty standard, needs tweaking to shine
Poor - nice idea but it needs reworking entirely to succeed

EDIT 3 - Custom Heroes Geeklist added HERE.

Summary Rankings of "Expansions" based on polls

THE POSITION AS AT 21 MAY 2012. [And yes there are two 57 positions. I'll fix next time]

Ranking is a simple weighted average assuming that "Excellent" has a value of 5, through to "Poor" with a value of 1. There is no adjustment for number of votes, etc.

Arrows indicate relative movement (on ranking position and votes made) since the last time the data was run. You may need to have your browser on full screen to see all the data. Otherwise click on the image.

Any suggestions for improvements please PM and I'll see what I can do (it is messy behind the scenes).

Recent updates made

1. Expanded to include adventures from other D&D boardgame adventures (currently WoA).

2. More consistent titles (author, adventure name, game system required). Still some work required.

3. An adventure will not "receive" a rank average until it has received 5 or more votes. This is a notional attempt to minimise distortion of the rankings by new submissions. Those adventures will still be listed but with zero averages. So the message is don't ignore the bottom ranks as there might be something really good down there!!


I am not after thumbs but if you do find this ranking useful (i.e you gain some sense of what the polls are telling you, etc) then please do thumb this item. It helps me gain some sense of whether it is time well spent.

I will aim to update this on a fairly regular basis. Newer polls may not be present as I rely on ninjadorg to provide me with some key info.

Again thanks to ninjadorg for pulling this geeklist together in the first place, and continuing to do so!

This looks like a fun adventure (Fleshy Meets Rotten Bones) to play out. Is the expected use of the potion to be done by leading Fleshy or Rotten Bones to the other one and then using the potion, or is it expected to just weaken one of them with the "regular" monsters?

(I hope I put this question in the right spot - I'm new to this forum.)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your question. The general idea is to lead Fleshy to Rotten Bones or vice versa, and use the potion to get the two to scrap it out. However, you could also use the potion against one villain and a bunch of monsters, but I think that would make beating the other villain quite a challenge.

I have only managed to play through the scenario a handful of times, and have still failed to complete it - so I'm keen to hear feedback from anyone who plays the scenario. I think it might be that the scenario would still provide a challenge for two heroes. Also, I'm considering whether to make the scenario just a little bit easier by making the two stacks of tiles each one or two tiles shorter, to make it a bit quicker for the hero to bring the two heavyweights together.

I look forward to hearing how you find it.

Excellent geeklist - I've subscribed to it. One suggestion, I would rename it " Castle Ravenloft - Consolidated Adventures Database" or "D&D Boardgames - Consolidated Adventures Database" if you plan on keeping it going with Wrath of Ashardalon, too.
