![]() Then choose a hero within 3 spaces of you to recover an equal amount ofĮach time you use Stream of Life, the chosen hero may also discard 1 Condition. If you are defeated, discard all essence on this card.Įxhaust this card during your turn and discard up to 4 essence. When any monster is defeated, place one damage token on this card. Starting equipment for the Soul Reaper is the Harvester Scythe and Mirror of Souls, and the skills Essence Harvest and Stream of Life. This class was first introduced in the Lost Legends expansion. That being said, I do love Descent, and I also love Imperial Assault, so I don't view S&S as a replacement so much as another really solid entry in the campaign dungeon crawl genre.Soul Reaper is a class options for the Healer archetype. The complexity creates a lot of emergent opportunities that you never really see in Descent. S&S feels more like an RPG than Descent does, once the rules click for you. But each one feels deeper than in Descent, which can often feel like a race against the clock. Only downside to S&S besides the higher learning curve is that there are fewer quests per box than in Descent, like barely half. Excited for the second starter tho.Īs I mentioned elsewhere, both starters are in print or will be again soon, I know they have a swath of reprints scheduled. The second starter's campaign sounds more compelling to me but I liked the first starter's heroes more, and that campaign is complete, so I'm working through that one. ![]() Second one is the start of a new campaign but it's fully compatible with the first starter, so it comes down to which heroes and campaign sound more interesting to you. Not campaign, but it's all about character progression and it does have dungeons. If you have TTS or an interest in secondhand stuff on ebay, you might even check out the old World of Warcraft Board Game from 2007 or so. Tiny Epic Dungeons is coming out pretty soon as well, and Roll Player Adventures, and some others. Aspects of them turn me off but a lot of people love both. Imperial Assault is FANTASTIC and very much Descent 2.5, but you're not a big Star Wars person and that's totally fine.Īnd of course there's Gloomhaven or its lighter cousin JOTL if you want to try those. Even Four Against Darkness might fit for you! You might also enjoy Runebound 2nd or 3rd edition, Mice & Mystics, Eldritch Horror, Shadow of Brimstone, the D&D Adventure Series games, Dragonfire, Zombicide Fantasy, Hero Realms, or a number of other solid dungeon crawlers or RPG-lite experiences (which is why I included EH). So while there are fewer quests in each box compared to Descent, each quest is a shockingly rich experience with all sorts of stuff going on, and very much rewards trying things differently on repeat plays.īoth cores are currently in print or will be soon, so check out their characters and stuff to see which one you prefer, if either. Equipment or skills that give a certain advantage that wouldn't exist in other games because there's no rule for it. The finickiness of S&S is initially a bit offputting, but then you realize that all the extra rules give them lots of ways to make small things feel very distinct and rewarding. You might like the familiars expansions though. ![]() Only get extra heroes if you particularly like them, the 5 in each core box have two alignments each so they feel like 10 in each core. r/tabletopgamedesign - Designer's subredditĪs a big Descent fan, Sword & Sorcery is super solid. ![]() r/boardgameexchange - selling/buying/trading games.Game of the Week Calendar Related Sites & Subreddits The simplest use is to bold game names in your comment and add " /u/r2d8 getinfo" at the end of the post, but this post/sub has other features identified. ![]() You'll see people using bold to highlight games, that gives the opportunity to interact with /u/r2d8, a bot that can be used to grab data from BGG on games included in a post.
