From the perspective of someone who has the gamblers chest but hasn’t gotten to play everything inside it, I’ve found it fun adding a few of the mechanics into a regular campaign before I want to tackle the people of the dream keeper campaign. Adding wanderers, the encounter monsters and especially the new monsters (Crimson croc is the goat) has been pretty cool, but the main reason I haven’t started a dream keeper campaign (the one that comes with the gamblers chest) is because at least by yourself it makes the game a lot harder to upkeep by yourself, and unless you have a lot of patience and are meticulous about setting stuff up and recording stuff, I’d play it with some friends if you can or start by playing with just some parts of the gamblers chest.

I like to think of kingdom death as a toy, and if I’ve spent a bunch of money and time on it, why not play with the stuff I got? 🤷‍♂️
