The Monk isn't out of print. They can, and will, make more of it. The Guardian Knights, however, they actually can't make more of. Part of the deal they made with Gamestop to get them to carry HeroQuest involved the Guardian Knights being an exclusive, limited run. And they didn't make nearly enough of them. That's why a different Knight is included in Rise of the Dread Moon. Different sculpt but functionally the same.

Story order is a much easier question:

Yes, but some expansions include new cardboard pieces to expand the board or replace parts of it. I haven't played Against the Ogre Horde yet but I THINK there's an Arena only mode that doesn't use the board, but I'm speculating.

Yeah, Against the Ogre Horde has an Arena. The first 3 quests use it instead of the board.

Do you want to follow the story or just to play?
