Maybe some people can give me advice on playing the core set, or point me in the direction of an existing thread. I just played Descent for the first time with my friend. He played two heroes and I played the Overlord. We were playing Into the Dark, the first quest in the quest guide that came with the game.
My question, is that fact that I totally destroyed him a sign that we misinterpreted the rules? We both have a fair amount of RPG experience, DND especially, so we can usually interpret rules correctly. At first, it seemed like his characters were really overpowered but once I started getting Overlord cards and threat tokens, the table turned pretty quickly. He never made it passed Area 1.
Maybe someone can tell us if we were doing something wrong or give me some advice I can pass on to the players to make the game go a bit easier for them?
Thank you.
