New Descent, we'll know more on the 22nd!
backupsidekick replied to Cotgrave's topic in Descent: Journeys in the Dark
Considering that the Runewars miniatures starter set had 48 miniatures for $100, I don't understand the "price per miniature is low" statements I'm seeing. If you want Terrinoth miniatures for cheap, even full priced Runewars was cheaper. -

$175... for act 1? Are they all going to be $175? I mean, $525 is a lot for 1 game that is pigeonholed into an app. -

I think he's referring to the fact you don't have full choice as to which session you play, only the ones that are available, based on how many campaigns have been started and how far you've gotten in each campaign. Also if the campaign truly is based off of previous choices, your session might be different because of a previous session meaning no clean slate sessions except the first one. -

I agree the artwork is underwhelming. Hopefully since there is so much being put into digital content they allow players to add different art to update the player cards, or have a store where you can purchase themed decks of the item and character cards with a whole new art style. YES, that sucks that it would be very EA, but that would be something I'd invest in, depending on cost. I hope the 3 terrain could be considered optional, that the board would work flat as well as 3d, or can be stored 3d to cut down on setup time. I hope they have updated 2nd edition character sheets so I can play as characters I know, or even character cards for my Runewars characters that I have stacked up, or Runebound 3rd edition characters as well. I think this is the biggest letdown to me that the heroes are all new. Maybe I missed it, maybe this is later in time so those heroes died off. Honestly, with new consoles coming out this winter, my biggest choice I make is setup a board game and know I'll have to tear it down afterwards, or just jump right into a video game. With this being run by an app, it's really teetering on the video game, or physical toys to game, style, which, in my mind, will make it even MORE about setup time and tear down time, since I could jump into Horizon Zero Dawn, or any other co-operative game I have, which sets up instantly and tears down instantly. Maybe consider having an option of a digital overlord, where a PLAYER gets to make some decisions on the app as the overlord to make it again a 1 vs all game. I do like the improvements to gameplay, resting sucks in any game.
