My gaming group managed to run through the whole campaign in the 2ed base box. I have to say we enjoyed ourselves and are thinking what to do next. We probably prefer another campaign playthrough.We want to be frugal in our purchases and want to get the most bang for the box. Some things I'm looking at and I would appreciate recommendations and opinions.
1. We will run the base box campaign again, probably first choosing adventures we bypassed in the first run. There's enough in the base box to make this fun (though see below).
2. Heirs of Blood seems like a good addition - a whole campaign at a reasonable price. Should we consider this before re-running the main campaign? Will this and the main campaign run two times be to same'y / stale (no new characters / monsters).
3. The big box expansions (Labyrinth of Ruin, Lair of the Wyrm) seem like to the most variety (new monsters, heroes, etc.) along with a new quest.
4. I wanted to have the option of a co-op. In that case what is the recommended expansion to get? Are there any dependencies (i.e. you need to get another expansion to enable one of the co-op expansions)?
5. The "port from 1ed" (e.g. Visions of Dawn) provide a lot of variety, but little in direct gameplay (2 quests). They are also fairly price'y.
6. The Lieutenant Pack's seem to have the least return on investment/
