Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (second edition):: General:: Fun Thought

by Grahamers2002

One of my favorite poem/saying is the “For Want of a Nail” text. It reads as follows:

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.


This applies in Descent. Here is the version I came up with:

For want of a fatigue a movement point was lost.
For want of a movement point the attack was lost.
For want of an attack the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the quest was lost.
For want of a quest the relic was lost.
For want of a relic the campaign was lost.
And all for the want of a single fatigue.


Hope you like it!
