Runebound (2004) introduced the classic heroes and items.Descent 1E (2005) kept the same heroes and items. New monsters.
Runewars (2010) kept the same heroes as both prior games.
Runeage (2011) kept the same monsters as Descent 1E and races as Runewars.
So across all four games, the heroes, monsters, and items - in the games which use them - are the same.
Descent 2E introduces all new heroes and all new monsters. I feel that apart from some loose ties to Road to Legend, Descent 2E (without the conversion kit) has little to do with the Runebound universe.
Does anyone else feel this way?
