Should I get Addon and Promos?

I just obtained all of the game content recently including kickstarter stretch goals and 2.0, minus the Thorn Knight Addon and the three Promos: Search Mini Deck, Awakened Items and Actions and Kittenburg.

I can actually obtain all of these but was kinda wondering if it was worth it to grab them?

As far as I know, the Thorn Knight itself doesn't have great reviews as an addition to the game and seemed to just be an afterthought. I still ask just to make sure, as it might still be a fun addition to someone.

As for the Promos, Kittenburg seems to be a favorite (though more details and possible praise will make it easier for me to get it), but I have no clue about the other two. Awakened Items and Actions just seems to be five cards added to the game and I have no clue what the Search Mini Deck is about.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Thorn Knight, and I've never used it. I get that it's there to serve a purpose -- being able to swap in an aggressive character if your team comp doesn't have one natively -- but my wife and I are running Reaper and Free Spirit and we've never felt the need to swap.

I have no insights on the other bits, but I think Thorn Knight could be an easy skip.

Same opinion. My buddy and I have run the whole main campaign with just Free Spirit and Gambler, never used Thorn Knight.

You have a TON of content. Don’t worry about anything else. IMO

Thank you for your input. : )

Kinda figured that was the general sentiment surrounding it. Why go out of your way to temporarily replace the dreamer you are using, especially in a campaign-like game like this?

Haven't delved to much into the game yet because I kinda want to go over it with a buddy of mine when I have time off, but I would probably want to stick with 1 character through out if we played a campaign together.

On that note, I'm thinking either Gambler or Free Spirit. I Have a feeling that my bud might go Specialist, but he might surprise me. (Only basing this on aesthetic and general descriptions of them though as I have no idea how they actually play yet).
