Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (second edition):: General:: Does the Conversion Kit replace the need to buy the second edition base game?

by Artaterxes

Or does it provide extra, optional characters from the first edition to use in the second, which you must buy regardless?

I ask because during pre-release, it seemed like new players would buy the 2E, while the 1E owners only needed to buy the Conversion Kit. Post-release, it seems 2E will always be mandatory, and the Conversion kit supplies extra characters.
