The '''DnD Adventure Game: Diablo II Edition''' is a [[DnD]] stand-alone tabletop adventure game similar to the standard version of the DnD "basic" adventure game, but with a [[Diablo II]] twist. It was released in 2000 and authored by Bill Slavicsek and Jeff Grubb.

==Background==
This adventure is not exactly a [[Diablo_pen_and_paper_RPG|PnP RPG]], but rather a very simplified version that is made for younger players, to introduce them to the more advanced [[DnD]] rules. This version is of course made to attract Diablo II fans into the DnD world.

This box would typically contain pre-printed heroes (one of each Diablo II class) and custom dice, item cards and rules to play from the minute the box is opened.

It's unlikely the box contained much in terms of Diablo lore, but if it does, the validity of this information - whether or not is [[canon]] - is unknown. [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] have said all previous official sources of information are canon with the exceptions of any [[retcon]]s.

Jeff Grubb is a long time DnD writer veteran (30+ years), and Bill Slavicsek have done quite a bit for the DnD franchise himself.

==Game Summary==
This is what RPG.net has to say about it: [http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=11522]

::''The basic rules of D&D 3E, ported over to the Diablo computer game.''
::'''Notes on This Edition'''
::''Box contains rules book, quest book, monsters, dice, quest tiles, and five ready-to-play heroes.''
