<p>My girlfriend received <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/17913/dungeons-dragons-the-haunted-tower" rel="nofollow">Dungeons &amp; Dragons: The Haunted Tower</a> for Christmas. Can it be played without the <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/17533/the-new-easy-to-master-dungeons-dragons" rel="nofollow">The New Easy to Master Dungeons &amp; Dragons</a>?</p>

<p>I figure that it would be possible to create tokens for characters and such. Though I'm not sure how much The Haunted Tower relies on materials from the base game.</p>

My girlfriend received [Dungeons & Dragons: The Haunted Tower](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/17913/dungeons-dragons-the-haunted-tower) for Christmas. Can it be played without the [The New Easy to Master Dungeons & Dragons](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/17533/the-new-easy-to-master-dungeons-dragons)?

I figure that it would be possible to create tokens for characters and such. Though I'm not sure how much The Haunted Tower relies on materials from the base game.
