Card Hunter for D&D nerds.

Come join me in this game if you enjoy a mix of D&D and CCG action.

It's a f2p game but from what I have seen so far what you get by paying is not a big issue as all it does is either give you more equipment that you can get over time, some different avatars and unlock some extra campaigns. The campaigns can give decent rewards but you can get access to a few of them for free with the money they give you.

You unlock the multiplayer option when you get around level 6 and get some free equipment from it with a free starter deck. In multiplayer you gain the ability to pvp against other people for loot chests, play custom campaigns or even make your own but hopefully they add some kind of co-op so you can play with friends for rewards.

Otherwise it's just about equipping your characters with the right equipment as each type provides different cards to play during combat.

Just a word of warning but the game just went live a day or two ago and it got flooded by a ton of people so you may have to wait in a queue at times to get in until they fix it as penny arcade mentioned the game.

A couple screenshots taken from their website that people that have played D&D may recognize a bit and the bottom cards you see are what you use to play the game.

Make sure you have at least one dwarf in your party or you are not cool enough to play.

Tried this last night. Wasn't expecting much but I had fun - played for hours

Not sure about long lasting appeal.

Haven't tried multiplayer yet.

Do you get more classes than Fighter Mage Cleric?

Cards are a sacrilege to old school D&D players.

I think it reminds me more of Hero's Quest than D&D.

I was going to say the same. What the hell version of D&D uses cards? I'm old school rules.

There were a few D&D board games which definitely had cards.

Well making custom maps is something large that many people do.

But yea they need a co-op mode and some kind or way to reward / trade players for beating them.

I would like to see a rogue added to round out the group.

I had no problems when I played it on either FF or chrome.

I just stopped playing as there was very little content for so long but not sure why you are having issues unless it's a new problem.

I played this for awhile during beta too, and the game is really fun. It really captures the feel of the old D&D modules (even if it does not use anything even similar to the old rule sets).
During the early beta I was in there was not much content, and multi-player was not active yet, so after about 2 weeks I got bored and never went back. Maybe one day this weekend I'll give it another try and see what content they have added since the Beta.
