Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition):: General:: Peril for Newbies (Lieutenant Pack worth inquiry)?

Just curious,

Should a new group (entirely new to the game) include Lieutenant Packs, or should one gain some familiarity with the game before the tweak of peril gets added in?

I don't want to make the environment unduly hard for the heroes, grappling with the core rules as they might be, but I also relish the idea of adding depth to the overlord's strategic options.

As I mentioned in another thread, I recently pulled the trigger on:


the core box,
The Trollfens (for more junk),
Shadow of Nerekhall (for a different approach to the traditional play when we decide to switch away from co-op).
Heirs of Blood (for a better campaign with core-box components)
and Crusade of the Forgotten, based on the advice of somebody on reddit.

So the players will already be benefiting from all this content (and likely Heirs of Blood will be the first campaign approached). Would a pack or two spice this up positively, or just be too much (I get that only one pack can be played per campaign).

Also, I'm considering adding Labyrinth of Ruin to the purchase order. Too much, or a nice edition?

Thanks again.
