Sometimes this is as simple as advancing the Doom or Fate token, or resolving a Peril card, and sometimes it has you roll a die to spawn more monsters.

You gotta be quick, because if the Overlord phase starts and there is no active encounter, you get to draw a Peril card and advance the Fate token by one.īut wait, you're obviously thinking at this point in time (as opposed to what the hell are Peril cards, or Fate/Doom tokens): if there's no Overlord, why does he still get a phase? I'm glad/assuming you thought that: during the 'Overlord' phase you check the encounter card, and run through all the things in the red section. Once the encounter is cleared you can then head over and open the door (doors cannot be opened while the card is still in play), after which you draw a new Exploration card, build and populate the room, check the encounter text, etc. Sometimes it'll be something simple like 'kill all the monsters', and other times you'll have to catch a Search token before it gets to the exit of the room. There is also encounter text that tells you what has to be done to clear it-which can have both good and bad conditions-or the card might just keep smacking you with something bad until you clear it. Basically the goal is to clear the encounter, open the door, draw another Exploration card, build the room, clear the new encounter, and rinse and repeat until you either finish the third main encounter.or die trying.Įach Exploration card tells you what room you need to build, which like the starting room also determines what monsters and Search tokens are present, if any, based on the number of heroes present: since it was just the two of us, we basically only ever had to deal with two monsters at a time (a master and a minion). You then build the starting room with tiles, and-as with 'normal' Descent-populate it with monsters and search tokens based on the number of players, and from there it's anyone's guess. To setup the quest you pull out the starting and three numbered main encounters from the Exploration deck, divide the rest of the deck into three smaller decks, shuffle one of the main encounters into each of them, then finally stack them so that each encounter will be drawn in order from one to three. This is billed as a 'fully cooperative expansion' for Descent, but it's not really an expansion so much as a single, massive quest with all the parts necessary to run it cooperatively (and only cooperatively): you get a deck of Exploration, Activation, and Peril cards, as well as a 'track sheet' that is used to, well, track your Fate, Doom, and Loot. So, being about an hour away from the closest approximation of civilization and itching to roll some dice (even 'normal' six-siders), we decided to give Forgotten Souls a shot.

This is why you haven't seen a play report for a role-playing game (or any game, really) in over a month: our internet speed is so slow that it cannot support a Hangout game.

Of course when you're the only ISP that won't charge someone over $130 per month for a tenuous satellite signal with a monthly 20Gb download cap, you can get away with some pretty abysmal 'customer' 'service'. We were supposed to get our internet upgraded up this week (as well as many previous weeks), but apparently Outreach has a pretty lax attitude about doing things.
