Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (second edition):: General:: 2nd Edition plus every 1st edition monster and hero in a Plano 777 (with pictures)

OK, so I had this Plano 777 packed to the brim with the original Descent and every expansion. Even so I had to overflow into the original Descent coffin box for storing the manuals, game boards, large map tiles, etc.

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and jump into second edition. I emptied out the Plano 777 of most of the 1st edition stuff and loaded the second edition in and wanted to share some pictures. Note that there is tons of room to expand in this solution, which I sort of expect to eventually fill up with the expected expansions from FFG.

First, here is the case itself. It is rather large, but remember this allows me to play without the box at all, and of course all of the 1st edition material. If you have painted your set (I wish I had but I haven't) then I'd guess you'd need to spread things out more.



Now, if you open the top lid you have access to almost every first-edition small monster. It would probably make sense to prioritize the second edition monsters if you started from scratch, but I already had these in here.



If you open the main lid, you see a huge compartment full of large monsters. I have room in here for quite a bit more, although it is pretty full at this point. Technically you can fit two Plano 3500s on the left which is what I did with 1st edition but now I needed more space for large monsters. On the right I have two small deck boxes (one for small cards and one for regular cards), character sheets, and record sheets.



The bottom right opens up into a container that fits most of the larger map pieces very well (except for the three largest) with plenty of room to spare. On the left there are two dual-layer Plano cases. I also found that I can fit the oversized map tiles and the instruction/scenario manuals above, below, and between these cases.



One of the Plano cases I reserve for setup-related materials. This next picture is the lower layer (a little deeper with bigger compartments). Here I have doors, smaller map tiles, and all of the heroes. Of course plenty more space right now.



The next picture is the top layer of the setup case. Here I have the tile end pieces and various counters for setting up maps. The dice really could go anywhere since they live on the table once we start playing.



OK, now the other Plano case I use during gameplay and really it is all I need while we are playing. I have the smaller 2nd edition monsters, fatique, health, and status tokens.



And, finally, the bottom of this case is for anything that won't fit in the top, in this case the Lava Beetles and a monster from 2nd edition, and a few helper tiles.
