Played the introductory quest and the Fat Goblin quest. I am really enjoying this game. I play as the Overlord against my wife and son. The Fat Goblin quest was really intense. In the first encounter of it we ended with a tie. In the second part it came down to the wire. Splig was one square away from the exit with Frederick slung over his shoulder. Jain Fairwood rolled two damage and Splig only had one health left so I needed to roll the two shield side on his defence die. Unfortunately, Splig was not able to get the roll he needed and had to retreat without the prisoner. I do not regret buying this game on bit. I just wish I could buy all the extra stuff right now and not have to budget myself.

From another noob, welcome to the world of Descent 2e. We are just finishing up our first campaign but having a great time at it.

We are on our third quest and find the Overlord wins easily. I wonder if you will have the same experience?

How many heroes are you playing with?

The math demonstrates (and agrees with the experience of most people) that a 2 hero game is heavily overlord favored, while a 3 hero game is heavily hero favored. A 4 hero game is the most balanced and enjoyable experience, overall.

Whitewing has it right. We have played 6 quests so far, 4 heroes each, and currently it is 3-3.

I completely agree. A four hero game is by far the most balanced.

Welcome to the fold. Have fun.
