The '''DnD Adventure Game: Diablo II Edition''' (sometimes known as '''The Bloodstone Tomb''', after it's content) 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.

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 rules, quests, pre-printed heroes (~~one of each Diablo II class~~[[Amazon]], [[Barbarian]], [[Paladin]] and [[Sorceress]]) and ~~custom dice, item cards and rules~~ dices to play from the minute the box is opened. The game can also be downloaded for free from Wizards of the Coast's homepage, if you have the dices yourself [http://www.wizards.com/diabloii/Diablo2FastPlay.pdf].

~~It's unlikely~~ The validity of the ~~box contained much~~ lore in ~~terms of Diablo lore, but if it does, the validity of~~ this ~~information~~ module - 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.

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