NINJADORG'S SOLO/COOP DESCENT (RANDOM DUNGEONS)

By NinjaDorg, in Descent Home Brews

Ey up,

After several thousand posts on the FFG forums years ago they changed up the layout and most of my stuff ended up on boardgamegeek instead. But since I've slunk to just lurking here for a few years with relatively sparse contribution this is something I posted on the Geek I'd like to share with you guys too.

The following is a Solo/Coop version of Descent with random dungeon layouts from a map deck and an encounter deck for use with the base game only, though you can easily add in expansion characters/monsters/tiles/etc. It's designed to play quickly and simply without an Overlord, to scale to the number of heroes, and with varying difficulty levels. The objective is for you and your team to smash through the dungeon, beat the final gold boss and escape with as much loot as you can carry. Using the base game campaign rules you can string your adventures together too for epic game levelling!

All you need to do is print the rules and the cards and you're away (they'll also be back on Artscow again soon).

You can find everything you need on my RatDorg blog here:

And here are some previews for you...

Very nice. I'm familiar with BGG but I'm often too lazy to go digging through the (usually extensive) files sections to see what's out there. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention =)

I hear you, there's loads of cool fan content on here and on there so it's hard to sift through it all.

Hope you get to give it a try, it's breathed new life into Descent for us and I relish the opportunity to not have to play as the Overlord every time!

I too tire of being the only one to play Overlord all the time. Can't wait to give this a try! Just need to load up some card stock, and refill the ink in my printa!

I don't have to worry about it too much, since we always have a player eager to try out Overlording. This looks great, though, and I kindof wanna try it out.

Lucky group! It also plays nicely with one hero for solo questing whilst you're waiting for your buddies to arrive. I'm working on a quests and campaign system for it too as we only really play Descent using this mod now. Will keep you posted on any updates...

I kinda wanna see an update to RtL that lets it support extra characters. We almost always have an odd man out x.x

Eitherway, I'll probably print this all out and try it out when I've the chance, and give you some reviews on it :3

Keep me posted, I'd love to hear your thoughts/feedback.
