Description Edit | History

Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a semi-cooperative game in which two to five players will take on the antagonistic roles of heroes and Overlord. Up to four players will choose characters with a wide assortment of skills and innate abilities to be the heroes who will explore dungeons in search of treasure and adventure. One player will take on the role of the Overlord and will control the dungeon's many traps, puzzles, and monsters.

The heroes' goal will be to cooperatively conquer the dungeon, seize its many treasures, and achieve other objectives as set by the scenario. If the heroes cooperate and achieve their goals, they will all win. The Overlord's objective is simply to use all the means at his or her disposal - from deadly traps and ferocious monsters - to kill the heroes. Each hero has a certain Conquest Point value to the party and if too many Conquest Points are lost through hero death, the party loses and the Overlord wins.

1 Descent Hero Character and Overlord cards tuckboxes, for the base game plus Well of Darkness,Alter of Dispair and Tomb of Ice expansions
Tuckboxes Set 2. 4 boxes: 1)Overlord Base Deck, 2)Overlord Treachery Deck, 3)Monster & Dark Relics Decks, 4)Hero Character Card desk, 1 large box, split into left & right sections on two 8.5x11 pages. Print them out, cut the halves out, and glue them together into one large box using the central tab. From there it folds up just like a normal box. Cards from following non-campaign expansion included within each deck: Well of Darkness,Alter of Dispair & Tomb of Ice expansions. I print them on white 110lb card stock, with no page-scaling.

5 Tynam's Descent gameplay reference
A simple 2-sided A4 Descent rules reference I made for our Descent campaign. (Gravey's screen is excellent but large, and none of the other Descent rules references here quite matched what we usually needed to look up.) Page 1 has campaign-specific rules, page 2 is a general Descent reference for all games. Version 1: Includes RtL and ToI expansions, but not Seas of Blood.

8 Printable Familiar Card Sheet (Updated for SoB + RtL)
So I found a really awesome Familiar sheet here but it was out of date and had an error or 2. I decided to download the the file and edit it to keep it up to date and include the new familiars / new familiar rules. I have included my version of Sharr the Brightwing that I feel is much more balanced, and usable in an advanced campaign. For Mata and Kata's new power-up move, I made them 2 cards. One includes the basic rules, the other includes the power-up. I think it is fitting for them. I also added the advanced campaign rules for Pico. Let me know what you guys think of the cards, also if you find any errors or have any requests please let me know. I am active and would love to keep it updated for you.
