We have been playing Descent 2e just about non-stop for about a week now. We have also run into many of the same questions that are being asked within the FAQ sticky. In order to avoid a stoppage of play, we have simply made and noted rulings as to how to address various issues, and played on.
I should point out that this in itself is a major victory, as many of our players like … well … to put it politely … they like debating.
Since some of these questions are pretty fundamental, and can affect play constantly (e.g. stun), I am wondering out loud, perhaps to any FFG personnel who may happen to read the postings within these forums, what we may be able to expect concerning the timing of the creation of Version 1.0 of the FAQ.
If memory serves (and it most definitely usually does not), it took more than a year from the release date of Descent 1e to get the first FAQ. If it is going to be as long with Descent 2e, then I guess I would love to see and politely request, some kind of initial, immediate, formal response from FFG as to how to rule on just the few more fundamental game mechanic questions that show within the FAQ sticky.
Perhaps game mechanics such as: LOS issues, Stun, Reanimate, etc. We could probably wait on the quest specific issues until the FAQ.
Just a thought … my two cents … to make sure we are playing the game as intended, especially if we may have to wait a year for an FAQ.
Thanks for listening.
