Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (second edition):: General:: Want to like Decent but just don't. A little help.

by Dale-not-Chip

I have tried this game a few times now and I'm really concerned. This is the First Dungeon crawler game I actually hate and I don't want to.

I don't own it I am wanting to read the rules myself and the quest book to see if I was taught wrong.

I can't find the quest book. I found the rule book.


I have played the heros every time. First game I was one character of 4. I We lost big time. Getting stuck behind monsters too big to be in the room their in while on the other side of the dungeon we were losing the objective without any hope of stopping them.

Played another scenario - Same thing.

So I Played again, taking a cue from claustrophobia a game I love. I played 4 heros myself. slightly better this time because I felt like I was making more decisions.

Played the one where you light lamps and protect civilians. by the time I got past the two stupid dragons in a tiny room, all the civilians were dead in the back of the dungeon.

Is the game better with only 2 heros, less spawned monsters therefore more room to move?


We were either doing something wrong or I don't get why people like it.

So far every time, us heros are trapped in a corner while the objective is stolen in the back of the dungeon where we can't get to.

Is there an online quest book?
