Mantic Launches New Range Of RPG Dungeon Adventures In A Box
September 30, 2022 by avernos
Mantic Games have an incredibly varied range of terrain and scatter and they have realised that by revisiting the Terrain Crate series and expanding on it they can put together a box of everything a Games Master needs to run an adventure.
Into the Necromancer's Lair //Mantic Games
Dungeon Adventures are a series of Role Playing Game adventures that are designed to be played out of the box, each one taking a couple of evenings to play. They include 3d plastic terrain to make the scenario ‘pop’, and a 24" x 20" double-sided poster map designed to be used with miniatures.
Dungeon Dangers Or New Companions?
The adventure is quick to read and put out on the tabletop. The adventures are designed to scale with different numbers of players and difficulty levels. All important information about an area, scenario or room is clearly laid out within the book, so the important information is at your fingertips. The adventure is game-world agnostic, so it can be ‘plugged in’ to any campaign
Secrets of the Wizard's Tower // Mantic Games
The man responsible for putting the adventures together is Andrew Jones who has had the difficult task of making an exciting and engaging adventure that can still be plugged into any GMs current campaign without feeling like it clashing or being tacked on. He's put a lot of work into getting the balance right and is working on more even now playtesting and balancing the scenarios so if you play through them don't be shy about feedback to help them tailor the future adventures.
Mantic's prebuilt or one piece dungeon terrain and minions and monsters from their board games are robust enough to chuck in a box under the bed but still have plenty of detail if you are one of those people who actually paints your collection! It's great to see them put to a new use and for them to still be adding to it, the Dragon is awesome but I really love the critters, the base of danger noodles is very squirmy and I am a big fan of the komodo dragon looking lizard as well.
Will you be adventuring in a dungeon with these Dungeon Adventures?

Ooh nice one I’ll be looking into this expansion.
Interesting. I have a lot of Mantic stuff, so this will definitely have a look as my young lad is interested in D&D (although we play 3.5 – I’m sure this can be adapted accordingly).
I dunno. I like Mantic, but this just feels like them trying to sell through some unloved Terrain Crate bits. There are a lot of companies doing the whole “5E in a box” thing, and I’m not sure Mantic’s core audience is a dedicated RPG crowd. If they really wanted to capture some new eyeballs they could put all of this fantasy setting & writing to better use in a new 2.0 version of Dungeon Saga. Or a fantasy version of Deadzone.
It’s not 5E in a box. It’s a pre written adventure module that comes with maps, miniatures and scenery. It’s game agnostic
Sixty bucks MSRP. The product descriptions in the Mantic webstore don’t mention monster figures, just scenery. Not that it’s an easy thing to do, but I would instead give away free Mantic game scenarios that use and crossover existing product lines, such as the KoW 2-player starter set, TC Game Master Starter Set, Dungeon Saga Set, etc., to promote sales of these lines. Dungeon Saga has a free adventure that promotes sales of their DS expansions.
Seems nice.
These new 5e players are bonkers crazy and willing to spend insane money on 5e stuff in the attempt to mimic youtube channels.
Should work for that market.
A BIG box, but not a lot of contents (couldn’t they have made the booklet A5 sized and gone for a smaller box…save the trees, save the planet 😀 ). Probably looking to get this on the shelves in the US (where D&D is still more popular than in the UK) with retailers like Barnes and Noble (who seem to get doing great guns selling the Battletech boxes),
