Description

--- **TLDR** Ghosts of Saltmarsh expands D&D Adventure System with Saltmarsh campaign, new adventures, Sahuagin minis, town defense mode, and integration across games (25 words). Key mechanics include: - *Campaign progression* Heroes from base games tackle overarching scenarios, leveling up while exploring dungeons, avoiding traps, and defeating monsters. - *Exploration mode* Tiles revealed sequentially in classic Adventure System style. - *Town defense* Fixed Saltmarsh map (six double-sized tiles) where heroes protect villagers using an Adventure deck for challenges. - *Miniatures integration* Eight detailed Sahuagin minis (including two villains); tokens or minis from compatible games populate the board. - *Modular compatibility* Integrates fully with Dungeon Command games and optionally with other D&D Adventure System titles like Castle Ravenloft. Ghosts of Saltmarsh is an expansion for any Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System board game, introducing a new campaign set in the village of Saltmarsh amid political tensions from Keoland's expansion and emerging threats from old enemies and a sinister new foe. Players select heroes from existing titles to enter the fray upon hearing screams and combat upon crossing Sharkfin Bridge. Supporting 1-5 players, it retains core gameplay of embodying thematic D&D heroes who evolve through multiple linked scenarios or standalone plays, battling in treacherous environments. New content includes adventures, map tiles, monsters, traps, and spells, highlighted by eight highly-detailed Sahuagin miniatures (two as powerful villains), supplemented by tokens or minis from integrated games. Beyond traditional tile-exploration, it features innovative town-based scenarios on a static six double-sided tile map, emphasizing villager protection against monster incursions via a dynamic Adventure deck. Fully compatible with Dungeon Command series (Blood of Gruumsh, Curse of Undeath, Sting of Lolth, Tyranny of Goblins, Heart of Cormyr) and optionally with Adventure System games like Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, Legend of Drizzt, Temple of Elemental Evil, Tomb of Annihilation, Waterdeep – Dungeon of the Mad Mage, and itself. ---
