Trying to play adventure card game

[Royalcrown56]

Hey there! So I saw a copy of Curse of the Crimson Throne sitting on a shelf at a game store so I picked it up not realizing it required the core set, or so it said. What is actually needed from the core set to be able to use this box? Is it just the core rules and the dice or are there cards in the core set integral to the deck building?

There are some location cards required to play the Curse, as well as level 0 cards to fill the characters' initial decks. You would also need the proxy cards for henchmen, some generic story banes + the scourges. The remaining cards are not really needed. You could get by without the Core - barely and with a lot of proxying or looking at the cards in https://pacg.fandom.com/wiki/Core_Set - but it's much simpler to use the Core set.

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate the quick response! With the game being discontinued, is there a site anywhere that will print-on-demand core set cards?

I doubt it.
