Descent 2nd ed, campaign games part 1

[Anatoli]

Having owned Descent 2nd edition for quite a while now I still had not played through the entire campaign. So a couple of days ago I mustered the energy to post a notice at the club about running a full campaign over the next couple of weeks - there will be 8 player slots (meaning that all characters of the game will be used but only 4 heroes can play the game at any single time).

This will allow players to drop in and out of the campaign when they have time while still keeping it structured and making sure each player has his own hero, keeping the campaign going, and keep the experience rate of the Overlord and Heroes in between games. Heroes that drop in at later stages will be bumped to the same experience level as the guys who have gotten the longest into the campaign.

Last weekend we played the prologue and first two scenarios (5 encounters in total). The campaign will continue next week.

I remember the game as being very deadly. Players have to cooperate at the fullest to manage all the monsters. But it's a fun game nonetheless.

It sure is fun, the guys with whom I played loved it - and I have a lot of fun doing the "Overlord" stuff. I would dare to say it is as fun to play it as the Overlord as it is playing it with the heroes.
