A simplified version of the 3rd Editon/3.5 Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game, designed as an introduction to roleplaying, but is - in essence - a boardgame not unlike HeroQuest. Includes 16 pre-painted miniatures from the D&D Miniatures range (but aren't randomized - each box includes the same 16 miniatures), and the rules are very similar to this game.
