    I dont want more tiles, monsters and cards from a new edition.
    I already have all 2nd edition and 1st edition with kit.
    I would love to have more content for the 2nd edition, but not a new 3rd edition. It's a lot for a game, both money and space.
    More H&M, expansions with other countries from Mennara like Isheim (frozen wastes), Zanaga (jungles) or places like Al-Kalim (desert), the Great Forest of Aymhelin (latari elves) or the the Dunwarr Mountains (dwarves). More campaign books.
    A revised edition, or an upgrade kit for some of the contents we have and need update, would be ok.
    An expansion to support RTL, i would buy it as well.
    Things like that would be welcome for me at the moment, but a new edition would propably lead me to another direction . . .

    I would love to see 
    - Dunwarr Mountains where dwarves have built massive fortresses
    - The Great Forest of Aymhelin with the Latari elves
    - The snowy continent of Isheim (the tomb of Ice)
    - The islands of Torue Albes (Sea of Blood expansion)
    - The desert of Al-Kalim.
    Mennara is our world, we have to explore a bit more!
    (I hope they will give us a world map and more lore books too).

    FFG representatives have stopped posting here or over at BGG years ago. This is definitely no indication that there will be no further physical or virtual content.

    If miniatures are a too big cost, they could easily make a "only cards expansion", even if made for RtL in mind, with only hero classes, items, and so on.

    The Crow Hags from Treaty of Champions weren't from the 1ED, they were made up for the 2ED. I feel that they're focusing on RW & IA this year and then get Descent 2ED next year (I'd rather have no news then bad news). I'm thinking next year they'll make a big Legends Box that'll have:
    The remaining CK Heroes
    New Monsters
    Adding missing Classes to have them all even.
    The Shadow Rune Campaign
    A balanced version of Lair of The Wrym (No reinforcements in Valyndra's Lair?!? )
    Updated Rules for the future "Third" Edition.
     
    With the success of RtL I don't see them reprinting the Cards, Minis, or Map Tiles as they would have to completely overhaul the App & fans would be furious.

    If they are preparing a V3, I'm not sure I will go on this one !
    Looking how much the D2 cost me, I'm more willing to play this edition more and more than a new one. Unless they do a real intelligent conversion kit, I will pass, for sure.

    Thx all for the compliments ^^! 
    @jopan plz don't push your wife to higher expectations , painting should be fun and rewarding for the painter him/herself. BTW if she reads this: AWESOME THAT YOU PAINT HIS MINIATURES!!!! That must be true love!
    You're welcome for the information! Again, feel free to ask anything. For now the "see" part must wait, got other priorities.
    And for the paint: I mainly use Games Workshop paint and Vallejo Game Color. With the Ice Wyrm I used a airbrush (new to it) for the body.
    Here's a list of paints you can use for your miniatures: Games Workshop, Vallejo Game Color, P3 and Army Painter. Enough choice. 
    I haven't used any varnish yet, got some Testors Dullcote waiting, but I'll add this when I got more mini's ready.
    Hope this will help,

    Plenty to reply to! Great comments - liking it all...
     
    With new Runebound content announced and the fact FFG seem to be on a news frenzy of late (and reprinting quite a few sold out titles in their range generally) I do get a feeling we'll get the Descent reprints and hopefully Runewars- Banners of War reprint soon, plus I think they are going to be using the Runewars Miniatures launch excitement to also bring out some more content for the other 'Runebound universe' games (perhaps with a few surprises for us). There does also seem to be an interesting and hopefully potentially very engaging possibility of FFG building on the shared world and characters of the games, they really should integrate them further. There are some neat artwork crossovers already too.
     
    Legacy content can work quite well in games, there may be other ways to design in legacy variables but where the alternative pathways can still be played through rather than permanently changing/ destroying parts of the game. Someone designing quests for their groups could easily make legacy content for a specific campaign line, there are quite a few ways that could be done although of course the player creating the campaign/quest would know the reveals. I agree it wouldn't be great to make Descent a mainly legacy game but player choices and variable consequences can be fun. As DerDelphi mentions the game has already introduced examples of non-permanent pathway choices, I think anything in the game and its expansions should remain of the non-destructive type, owner created campaigns and quests could do either. Remember as a player of Descent you can make your own campaigns any way you want, you'd need the guts to try out your ideas on your friends but it's worth it- you could end up with something awesome.
     
    However having said that there's no reason why there couldn't be a legacy add-on of some sort for people who do like them, the surprises can be awesome (especially if they are a biggie like a hero or friend/enemy or a major new location...) if you avoid any spoilers before playing and the destructive/permanent changes could just be in the add on so the original game remains playable as-is. Of course the best type of any legacy game design would be one that can be reversed, i.e. it changes for that playthrough but can be 'reset' as it were so it can be played again, I'm sure designers will work out ways to do this with legacy games eventually. Actually an app like Road To Legend is ideal for this as something in code can make all the changes you want, save them any number of ways you want (at any point in the time of the story) and go right back to the start, there's no sticker-altered map or destroyed cards or reveal everyone now knows about that wouldn't be a surprise next time (it could be the same or different or absent in a re-play!) etc. So if FFG built in a legacy option to RtL then wow they could actually create something really special, I've not explored RtL yet but I'm guessing it has a bit of this already.
     
    In trying to work out the 'how to's of my campaign ideas for Descent even prior to finding out about Gloomhaven and its 'transient adventurers' logic I'd been thinking of similar as my campaign and its story arc felt like it would suit different characters at different times, still not quite sure how to do this for a Descent campaign but I'm thinking about it. I do like the idea of a Descent that doesn't have an end point as such, it keeps open the possibility of more in the future, I know it sort-of has this but it does tend to have a closed door campaign end. I love vanilla Descent as it is but I also want to do some exciting things with it for the campaign series I'm working on and join up some of the dots of places and characters, throw in some surprises and give the adventuring party some challenges and toughies.
     
    Liking Edgeseeker's idea too. If they perfected the quest vault and maybe made Road To Legend creator-friendly so you could design quests in that too (not replacing the vault as RtL would be slightly more complex to design in) that could also encourage more players to make and share their own campaigns.
     
    I've always thought FFG missed an opportunity with the value of map tiles for designers wanting to make their own quests- they could offer more environments and so on, a map-tile and quest only expansion may even work commercially although I still enjoy the prospect of conventional expansions. Layered tiles (as in matched sets) would be great too, what I mean is they are matched so you have the roof of a building/ top of a mountain/ whatever then the inside layer(s) and if applicable the underground layer(s) out on the table and can move between them. Thus you could have a dragon flying over rooftops and streets while your heroes are inside a building or something nasty lurking under you in the sewers. That kind of thing. Likewise they really should explore the opportunity of figures being usable in different games such as my getting some Battlelore packs to use in Descent.
     
    Would be great to see FFG tap in to the creative side of Descent more and ramp up the tools for telling our own stories with the games as well as giving us more adventures and storylines in the world it is set in.

    The only thing i know for the sales of the game is from 
    https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/104162/descent-journeys-dark-second-edition/stats
    22.984 own the game
    4.668 wishlist

    The community of the game is also alive 6.1k post is the forum of boardgamegeek and 
    40k posts in the FFG forums.

    These numbers are enormous and they are getting bigger and bigger.
    FFG should give us more content. I guess lots of people w8 for it.
     
    Im even thinking of getting again the BaseGame, cause i have the first edition of it with Shadow Rune.
    I bought Heirs of Blood Campaign Book, but from a post i have read they even updated the rulebook and some OL cards.
     
    I use the updated rules from the community, but still i would love to have the rulebook and the cards printed on their last version.

    If only FFG could sell us a kit with all the errata changes. A fixed rulebook and fixed cards to replace our old ones.
    I guess we can ask for it and if we are a lot of people asking for it, maybe we will get it.
