There are so many obvious oversights in the dungeon designs, several contradictions in the rules (and even in the FAQs trying to clarify the rules!) and obvious late-game problems that it isn't even funny anymore. Our second campaign will have *lots* of house-rules and rule changes, based on lots of discussions in the Descent forums.
Quote: In some ways I think they were better before "Strategy & Tips" forums, since then certain exploits were ignored or often used sub-optimally.That's true. I didn't know of many of the MoO exploits for example before hitting Realms Beyond, and wouldn't have found out about some problems with Descent either without the net. On the other hand, there's a lot of brainstorming done on the net with interesting ideas for how to better balance the game which I would have missed as well.
