Hello.

My friends and I are playing the campain from the basic set. We are half through and we like it a lot.

So we are planing to finish this round. When we start a new campain we are not sure if we should buy the expansion "lair of the wyrm".

We think it would be fun for the second run through to have the expansion but we dont know if it is worth it.

Is it possible to combine the basic campain with the expansion?

We are not able to buy another expansion because in germany there is only "lair of the wyrm" for sale.

greetings

Hi,

this is an expansion to the basic campaign so it will work fine You are going to use "rumor cards" to add it to the basic campaign. Then you can use it to play a “mini” campaign with only new encounters.

Here you have a review:

Here's my opinion as a gamer that like games lol:

Lair of the Wyrm is 100% worth it: New calsses, new quests and rumors, more Search, Item Shop, Conditions, Travel, Overlord cards, new monsters (that are cool and useful), new characters, new tiles, etc.

It add many cool stuff that doesn't clutter the base game.

I really like the new Rumor Quests. IIRC you get Rumor Quest in the Search Deck. There's one card in there that give you the option of going after that rumor and add a quest in the campaign. The new LotW quests are fun and most of them are a single encounter on a larger map.

For the price you can't go wrong!

thank you guys.

i see there are used a lot of abbreviationsm in this forum. i dont get all of them. one would be this one you mentioned: IIRC.

but the expansion sounds fun

thank you guys.

LOL sorry!

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

Yeah and I forgot to add what PierreBoberg mentionned: FFG released a PDF for a mini-campaign rules using only the Lair of the Wyrm quests. It's quite fun and done in under 10 hours (4 quests total: 1 Intro, 2 Quests and the Finale).

i heard from it. but i could not find it. can you give me a link?

Ooooh you will!

There is a whole stage of the game that the Overlord is not apart of. That's the shop and post set up. Rumor cards give the Overlord the ability to interact with that sometimes. Since I play the Overlord I really like Layer of the Wyrm for that and the reasons already stated by others.

I would like to put it out there that the quests are really high risk for both parties. The reward is great if you win, but if you don't, you get nothing. I think the quests from the rumor cards will make it so both sides are forced to really go at it with all they've got!

I also encourage you to pick up Lair of the Wyrm. Small expansions like that definitely add replay value to campaigns, while most of the extra goodies can be incorporated right into the base game with no problems at all.

As was mentioned, new heroes, new classes and new monsters all make the expansion worth the price alone, plus 5 great quests for all your Descent needs.

Enjoy!
