After diving right into Descent 2 and the sheer volume of possibilities, it seems to me like just mixing every single deck of cards together, while viable and probably epic, would create for a fairly disjointed and random experience.
I was thinking it might be better to combine one small expansion into each campaign, as far as which characters, shop items, rumors, classes, etc. are available thusly:
The Shadow Rune & The Trollfens
Labyrinth of Ruin & Lair of the Wyrm
Nerekhall & Manor of Ravens
My two questions for veterans:
1. Thematically would these be the best combinations, as in does the flavor elements of each go hand in hand and match up well enough? If not, what are your recommendations?
2. Should I just go ahead and combine them all into one epic set? If yes, can you give some anecdotal examples as to how this has enhanced your campaigns?
I've got the Heroes & Monsters quests to throw in as well. I might combine one of each of those into the above pairings. Seems silly when there's such a small chance of side quests anyway, thanks to the limit of 3 Rumor cards.
