Description Edit | History

In the dark and secret parts of the world, foul Overlords plot and scheme to unleash great evil and cover the world in suffering. Only those Heroes brave enough to journey into the dark and oppose them can save the known world from disaster.

The Road to Legend represents a new way to play Descent with the introduction of campaign rules and an overland map of Terrinoth.

0 AC Rewards Reference
Whilst playing I realised I'd forgotten the 'Prop' rewards (barrel, bone heap and sarcophagus). Here they are.

0 Rulebook in ePub format
The Road to Legend rulebook is a free download from Fantasy Flight Games, so I went ahead and copied all the text from the PDF and created an ePub version. If you have an e-reader that uses ePub (I have a Nook Color), then give this a try and let me know how it looks on your unit.

3 Road to Legend Plot: REALM OF THE DEAD
This a new Road to Legend plot that can be played with any Overlord and group of players. It is a military plot, where the main objective for the Overlord is to create many armies of undead that will overwhelm the heroes and easily raze all the cities. It is written in English and Spanish.

9 Updated RtL quick-reference with rule references
This is an update to grend's excellent RtL reference, version 1.5. I have added many more references to the original rulebook and page numbers throughout. I hope this is useful for somebody else. I'm re-posting it with his permission. Sorry for the poor alignment in some cases, I had to edit the PDF as I did not have the original.

4 Treachery variant without AOD/WOD
These are alternate Treachery abilities for use without the expansions. The OL can buy upgrades to existing cards instead of using the simplyfied treachery variant. It also includes substitute lists for more different spawns (partly also with treachery costs) that need only the Jitd cards.

2 Conquest Points Table - when, how and how much
A table that sums up: When players and Overloard gets Conquest Points in "The Road to Legend" expansion. This is scattered around in the rulebooks, and FAQ's, so it is quick to miss an instance.

4 The Hobbit - a short Descent RtL variant
Consider this a work in progress, but I thought I'd put what I have out there as an RFC. This is a cut down campaign based very loosely on the idea of a hobbit and some dwarves travelling cross country to steal some treasure from a dragon. Owing to time constraints, completely untested as yet, although I did apply some arithmetic in the design, which seemed logical, to do away with the campaign levels of regular RtL. The most up to date version of the rules as well as the very large photoshop files (too large for BGG) can be downloaded from the google group http://groups.google.com/group/descent-road-to-legend-the-hobbit which I created to hold these files.

5 Road To Legend Encounter Cards
These cards are used to create random dungeon levels and wilderness encounters for Road To Legend. The cards are used to generate leaders and minions as well. If you have questions or comments you can let me know at: rdh174@embarqmail.com

5 Descent: RtL shorter campaign
These are my rules for an RtL campaign utilising half the regular number of dungeons. The aim is to reduce the play time to something more tolerable for less "committed" players. It should be possible to complete a campaign with 8 dungeons rather than the usual 15 or so. Version 1.3
