The Dark Eye bundle on Bundle of Holding
I'm quite intrigued by the game. Anyone got an opinion if this bundle has the "must have" books for the game or is it mostly filler stuff?

There's a lot of extra but it's not necessarily filler. It would all depend on whether you were going to run your game in the Aventuria world and/or wanted the Theater Knights campaign. It depends on how much of the published stuff you want to run.
I've only played the Dutch translations, so it could be a problem with localisation; but 5th edition felt really horribly made in my opinion. I've played both 3rd and 5th Edition of DSA (5th edition is what's in this bundle), and I would never touch 5th edition again if given the choice.
That said, if you do want to try 5th edition, this collection looks very decent, has all the books I played with in Dutch, and more.
Yeah, translations are bit of a double edged sword.. if they're well made they are awesome.. but if they're poorly made they can ruin the whole experience. Anyway, thanks for the input!
I didn't get it because it has a reputation of being extremely crunchy. So maybe if you like that level of crunch you should probably get it. I hear the world building is pretty good.
