Hey, I tried playing Descent 2E with my gaming group. I was the overlord. It seemed to me, time and time again, that the result of quests came down to: Did you get lucky and flip the mission objective quickly? This is the case when there are x number of quest tokens and you have to flip them over to see if it is a blank or if it is the true objective. All that setup, purchasing items, doing battle with monsters just seemed like frosting on a game of complete and utter chance. Now, I don't mind luck in our games, but I want to feel like I achieved something. Some quests also seemed rather imbalanced and skewed towards either the overlord or the heroes.
Are the quests in the Labyrinth of Ruin or Nerekhall better? Do you think I would have a better experience if I played those?
