I have just purchased this game and have been watching the session videos. In some of the videos the reviewer was playing both overlord and hero. I realise that this was only because he was demonstrating and had no partners to play with but it made me wonder...Would it work in a 2p game to have both players play a hero and then when it came to the dungeon lord's turn decide together what the monsters would do. I think my playing partner and I are unbiased enough to know what the monsters would probably do and then the roll of the dice would decide the rest. It isn't like we have to come up with random amounts of damage etc.
Or would this not work because the dungeon lord doesn't have the element of surprise?
I can just see it being a fight at the beginning of the game to see who is the hero and thought this may solve the problem.
