Hey guys, can anyone help a fellow dungeoneer out and point me in the direction of where I might be able to get my hands on this expansion in the UK?

I'm not interested in paying more than retail like all the Amazon and eBay listing seem to be going for.

Many thanks!

Isn't scarcity fun?

Yes ... scarcity ... like how FFG cares about this game (still waiting for Quest Vault and FAQ to be updated).

Ok then, second option, who's selling me there's? ?

Honestly, I'd just consider waiting, or checking local shops which may have a copy in stock. There has been a huge surge in Descent prices in the last months. Now seems like the worst time to buy.

Check it out.

Doesn't look like I'm going to have much choice in the matter. I'm just really pressed for healer classes at the moment and the apothecary seems like a decent choice. I only have bard, disciple and spiritspeaker at the moment, and my healer character choice is also poor. In a strong party, avric the bard/disciple is all we ever see, or occasionally okaluk the disciple.

From what I see, the prophet is much more support than healing. I really wanted to get my hands on the apothecary to mix it up a bit. Any thoughts on an alternative?

Are you playing app or classic OL style?

Both. Mostly app with the group, but me and the wife generally always have a classic campaign going alongside those games.

When I bought I went for one of everything, so I have core, nerekhall, ravens, kyndrithul and stewards of the secret.

Trollfens is readily available by me, as are chains and mists. The hero and monster packs and lieutenants are very hit and miss.

What I most want is a dice pack, but I've been looking for on of those since we played our first game and gave up hope long ago.

Over the past three or four months I've managed to buy a full set of Descent 2nd from various sellers. I had to go on Ebay for a few pieces but generally speaking the best prices I found were miniaturemarket.com, though I don't know what shipping from there to the UK might be. Doesn't look like they currently have labyrinth of ruin in stock but they do have dice packs and some other sets, and you can set up alerts to notify you when things come back in stock (I managed to snag Belthir for $8 that way). A few items did arrive with crushed packaging but the items themselves were all fine (with the exception of one warped set of threat tokens in one lieutenant pack).

As to healers, the bard can be really strong in the right party (for example, a bard running the stamina recovery songs can be an almost unstoppable beast paired with a prismatic assault conjurer -- with fatigue recovery on surges, you can often use Prismatic Assault every round and heal up to full stamina afterwards each time). If you can't change classes, change heroes: Augur Grishom from Trollfens is a suprisingly potent healer, especially if you put him in a party with a lot of defense stats (pairs well with Trenloe the Strong, Leoric of the Book).

Hero and monster packs I'd recommend are Crown of Destiny (mostly for Lindel), Crusade of the Forgotten ( for Andira Runehand and Astarra), Oath of the Outcast (for Trenloe the Strong and Elder Mok though he's a bit overpowered imho). I also really like running Ispher as a healer though the rest of his pack is lackluster.

One really neat build is to run Lindel as a monk/spiritspeaker, you can do a lot of neat things with him depending on what items you get (soulbound sword is very effective for example, as is cloak of deception, especially if you can get the relevant stat boosting items for him).
