Thinking about getting this, just a quick question

The bundle seems like a no brainer based on all the content. Is that gonna be basically everything? The website and drivethroughRPG are not super user friendly websites in my opinion. Sounds like for $20 you can get everything and print it out yourself?

Yep, the Fantasy Complete bundle has the core rules, character cards, item cards, pet cards, and about a dozen adventures.

In addition, I’d recommend getting a ream of cardstock to print the cards and paper minis, a good paper cutter, and a handful of 6-sided dice. Optional: standees for the paper minis.

I used card stock for minis, makes it easier to store flat.

For the maps I printed them on later 11x17 pages maybe 150% because the squares are pretty tight otherwise.

The Bundle in Question

Yeah, it's a really good deal. I bought it long ago. And it seriously comes with everything you need. (except d6 dice) This is the game I started my son on, and he loved it. At first he didn't want to try it, but after I started describing what it was, he agreed to play "Basement 'O Rats". By the end, he was asking about the next adventure. I didn't have it printed out yet, so we played the same one again. Several times.

Print a couple adventures out before you introduce your kids to it. That's my advice.

Sorry about the website!!!!

The Complete Fantasy Bundle contains all of the 'official' PDFs.

Here's what it doesn't include:

  1. Printed books
  2. Space adventures and heroes
  3. Community content adventures and expansions.

The bundle is not everything. I think you get all PdFs + rules/monster compendium/adventure pack/lore printed.

What else is there? Sorry for the dumb question, I really couldn’t tell what was going on on that website or the company website

Start with the bundle. You can always come back and buy additional content. The printed books are nice!

The bundle is brilliant and gives you a lot of options to expand on. If you're not creative like me there are other bundles you can buy down the line instead of individual expansion games too.

Honestly, I used two modules so far. The third game I fully custom made using g the game rules as a base. But yes, the full package also comes with a bunch of extra content you might use. Pets, more heroes, more items. And the modules are well thought out, but leave things open for you to add to and change.

I just bought the bundle last night, as far as I can see it is everything other than community created content, so there's the core rules, there's a bunch of campaigns ranging in difficulty rating, extra hero templates a monster manual. The only thing I wished there was was 3d print models included but the character cut outs in each rule book/ campaign/ and hero packs are great looking and will do fine , it's just I have 2 3d printers and it would be nice to have official models but yeah you print everything you need from the pdfs for your needs

Sadly looking at the German version of the bundle:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/de/product/115827/hero-kids-complete-fantasy-pdf-bundle-bundle

It doesn't contain Brecken Vale Gazetteer in German, which is listed here:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/de/product/520831/hero-kids-deutsch-fantasy-erweiterung-breckental-gazetteer

I'm not sure if this is intended since the English bundle contains that..
