I'm getting kinda stoked for Mansions of Madness 2.0. At first I was annoyed firstly due to price (~$100) and worried my older edition and expansions for it would be rendered worthless. My girlfriend, and our two good board gaming friends all sat around and painted the character and monster figures one night. Not something we normally do so those are special to me.
Luckily, the 1st edition and 1st edition expansions are compatible with the new version in that it comes with new investigators, monsters, and adventures, but you can use the 1st edition investigators, monsters, and floor tiles to supplement the second edition. So not all bad.
The cool thing about this new version is that you can use your iPad (or Steam, Android, etc.) to run an app that takes the place of the keeper (dungeon master) and handles board set up, puzzles, randomization and all kinds of stuff that was annoying in 1st edition. DM'ing is a labor of love, as said earlier in this thread I believe... and so it's a pain though for casual players. This is cool for us especially, and nobody has to do the setup part for 30 minutes beforehand that really bogged the game down. Anyway, this is the closest thing to DnD for my group right now. I push for it because I like this kind of stuff, and I think this will sway the favor of the others too.
