Quest run-times

By The Cocky Rooster, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

Does anyone know of a resource that has the approximate play time of each encounter/quest/campaign?

Thanks in advance.

I do not think such a resource exists. http://d2etracker.com might want to include this at some point but honestly I bet some folks play encounters very differently.

Personally, encounters not found in the original Shadowrune campaign will be longer if players are careful and strategising to win, but faster if just "winging it" because of the increased difficulty. This is true across the board but I notice Shadowrune quests are easier so they rarely drag on and on, but have pretty regular "timers" that determine victory. The only drag with Shadowrune quests is two-part encounters. To speed things up my group sets up both encounters before starting part 1.

Having a healthy sense of when to surrender is a good idea. I got caught in a 4-hour quest last Friday because the Overlord was trying to squeeze ~25 gold out of the win condition, dragging it out. Games like that make me frustrated at this game and want to institute changes.

The tracker already has that feature, but its only visible at the moment when choosing your next quest. I do plan on making it visible elsewhere, so its easier to check, but haven't gotten around to doing that. Also, what wizdro said, it depends a lot on who is playing :)

I wasn't aware it was available to those choosing a new quest. That would be great if you made it transparent at all times.

I also think It'd be great if at all times when percentiles were provided, the actual fractions were also displayed (60% won by heroes 40% won by overlord, 3/5)

I notice this is sometimes the case, as on http://d2etracker.com/stats_quests.php but not on http://d2etracker.com/campaign_page.php?campaign=0
