Hi geeks!We're five players in our group. We played pen and paper (AD&D), LARP (vampire), Trading Card Games (LotR), Warhammer (Fantasy) and so on in the good old days.
But as we live in different places now, we play Descent as a "light" subsitute for it.
By now, we want to make Descent a little bit more "complex" (as we like to build characters, have a good choice of monsters and basically just to have some more possibilities).
Thus, I would like to buy some expansions. We have already Zachareth (as a mini for the Shadow Rune), Visions of Dawn (mainly due to Ispher and Manticores) and Oath of the Outcasts (Beastman and Laurel).
Do you have any particular recommendations for any combination of extensions (including lieutnant packs) that could fit the "spirit" of our group? For having the possibility to get "deeper" into it, if you know what I mean (for both, the heroes and the OL). The style factor of chars and quests is also a major factor.
(Like "get that two lieutnants, that expansion and that H&M set, it's fun and balanced to play them altogether")
I was thinking of spending something between 50 to 100 bucks (€/$ prices don't differ much).
First, I wanted to go for the conversion kit but it isn't available in german anymore (and I don't like mixed languages in my games).
Valyndra as a lieutnant set is almost set. It's supposed to be one of the coolest decks and the coolest mini (!?).
So, what do you think?
I just like it too much to see the excited faces of my friends while unpacking and the glow in their eyes ("wow, nice miniature!", "yeah, look at that feat!", "hey, that's a fun deck for the OL!", "I can't decide what to play, it's all too cool!")
Cheers,
Jakob
