Arydia, is it worth purchasing in the 2nd print?

[genedean29]

Hey all,

So Arydia, perhaps one of the most enticing D&D games in the box I’ve ever seen, is back up for a 2nd print. For folks, including Daniel, is it worth getting?

[Corgibuttz]

It’s the best game I got in 2025. I would say yes. For me Arydia truly stands apart. Nothing else really like it.

It’s a great game.

Should I buy Arydia?

Man, seeing a lot of positive buzz in the community about this game. Can’t tell if it just hit at the right time or really is spectacular. Would I be a fool to not buy it? A damned fool? The box is enormous. I presently have 0.0% available shelf space for another game, much less a game of this size. And it is not a free game. Quite the opposite. Still, folks are saying it’s adventure heaven. Jeez Louise. What to do? [image]

[IMG_1800] Arydia These past few weeks have seen me adventuring for Squills in the lands of Arydia. With the game left perpetually poised upon the table, my motley exiles stand ready for a swift foray when time permits. A fine, nostalgic romp that may well hold my attention to the very end.

I think it’s a very good game, but like most campaign games I fizzled out about a third of the way through. The main criticism I have about it is that the loot progression felt really slow. However, it’s a wonderfully made adventure game, and the reason I lost interest says more about me and the kinds of games I like to play than it does about the game.

I can’t keep with a campaign game either. So it does not have a procedural narrative mode?

[Not_People]

It doesn’t. It seems mostly focused on the side-quests. The main story is just to push you towards finding things to do and getting you involved.

Sadly, while normally loving campaign games, we’re finding the exploration a bit dull. Combat is fun though, but rather spaced out.
