Hi All.
I only started playing Descent back in January of this year so i'm a complete noob, though i'm loving it all the same, got all the expansions for this bar TOI...still waiting for it to ship over to England. Anyhoo..
My situation is that me and my girlfriend are the only people who play this and as i'm into it more than she is and she hasn't read all the rules...i end up being the overlord...as fun as it is getting punched in the arm everytime i kill one of her heroes...I thought i really want to be a hero and play coop along side her.
So the following is my contribution of a solo/coop game with a Automated overlord. Now i can image that many of you will think it's not workable or unbalanced...but because we are not as hard core when it comes to knowledge of skills hat weapons best and different strategies and we just want a great dungeon crawler with a the levelling up of your hero character i think this works.
Now i think most of this is about the best you can get away with having a game of RTL without a Overlord...but i'm happy for you guys and gals to be as critical as you like...thats another reason for posting the following. Another thing to bear in mind when reading this is that i have borrowed from numerous ideas and sources that other games do and what other fans of the game of tried to do...i found many half heated attempts, so i did my own using their ideas and my own. I also wanted to play the game as it was meant to be played...trying not to change anything or take anything out of the game like cards etc...anyway i'm rambling so here it is:
ps: font went a bit mad when i pasted this in not sure what it's going to look like.

Any monster that cannot attack a hero on their turn and is not in a hero's LOS must move as close to the nearest hero as possible, without coming in line of sight of the hero. If a monster was already in LOS of a hero and cannot attack, they must move as close as possible to the nearest hero.
