Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if the original CDM and revised GW boxes were similar enough to use?

I've recently purchased CDM3 and reading through it has been good fun. I know the other boxes rarely come up (or do at a price) so wondered if the later GW stuff is worth having instead?

I've found the following out, but would like a valued opinion from the guys here

CDM1 Halls of the Dwarven Kings - GW Fire in the Mountains
CDM2 Lost Shrine of Kasar Khan - GW Blood in Darkness
CDM3 The Watchers of the Sacred Flame - GW Death Rock
CDM4 The Feathered Priests - GW Dwarf Wars

cheers
Dave

ah, thanks I got the listings from tomeoftreasures I think. But can the GW boxes be used for AD&D campaign, or converted to it, are they any good?
I dont recall much about Warhammer, but wasnt that more tabletop armies?

The GW items are books not boxes and lose the generic/D&D feel in their GW form.  In comparing the two, names, places, stats, sequence of events, motivations for the PCs to do stuff, etc are changed so although the story is roughly the same it has undergone change.  You could of course redo monster stats, etc to convert the GW items for use with D&D (and your own campaign) but it would take some work.  My preference is of course the original CDM series but it is very difficult to find some of the boxes.

I'll have to take a look at the Doomstones info on ToT.  I haven't had a chance to input my CDM series items yet - there are a few different prints of some of the boxed sets and a manuscript for CDM5.  Tortured Souls #6 and #12 also have some adventures that fit in the campaign as well.

Also, there is a good article in Warpstone #16 with the history if the series and its transfer from generic to WFRPG:

I haven't really heard that before.  In the scheme of things, I think The Enemy Within Campaign is one of the best out there WFRPG or otherwise but I don't think Doomstones is dreadful.  I think it is stuff above average for Warhammer stuff.

UK appear to be anything from £8 to £25 for opened to SW and dependent on the actual CDM boxset.

I'd say it's around $15-20?? maybe..  

You may be surprised.
CDM2 is the hardest of the four to find. The only thing standing against you is the floorplans being cut up. Still, should top $20 easily. Would be surprised if it saw $40. All depends on how many people want to complete their sets.

I wouldn't be all that surprised to see this hit $40 but you never know.  This really is the one that most people don't have.  All of the others would be considered common in comparison to this one.

I have to agree, its the last one I am missing... there was a glut of shrnked 3's and 4's not so long ago..

I haven't seen CDM2 in shrink but I seem to remember that one of my CDM1 sets was initially in shrink (then I ripped it off since it was a different print).  The Endless Plans boxed sets were also in shrink.

Different print?
