Bought Descent 2nd edition after Christmas, my first Descent experience. My only other Dungeon Crawl game was playing HeroQuest once waaayyyyyy back when.I currently only own the Second Edition Base Game. I am playing once per week with three friends, and playing through a campaign. We're having fun, but I wonder about replayability of the quests, and the lack of monster diversity.
I know the Conversion Kit comes with all of the monster and hero cards so you can use the 1st Edition (and expansions) figures in 2nd Edition. Of course, I would have to buy those kits as well, in order to get the figures. However, as I am unfamiliar with the mechanics of the 1st edition, I am wondering what kind of quests come with them, and if said quests are compatible with the 2nd edition playstyle? Also, can you link up the 1st edition map tiles to the 2nd edition tiles?
Basically I am wondering the exact value of purchasing 1st edition kits to play with the 2nd edition.
Thanks!
p.s. Decided to paint my figurines and of course started with the hardest (heroes!) - but it's going okay, not as totally frustrating as I thought so looking forward to painting the rest.
