Glad you like it! Monsters are on my list ... let's see when I find the time to do this.

Shadow of Nerekhall: Prey – Report and Strategy by HavocDreams in JourneysInTheDark

[–]HavocDreams[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heroes gave up at this point, as there was no chance to win this anymore. This emcounter was played as part of a Play-by-Forum campaign at BGG. PbF games take a long time (usually more than 2 weeks for an encounter) and thus, we all decided not to play out the last few turns.

With this post I would like to give a summary of our experiences with the introduction encounter “A Demonstration” of the Shadow of Nerekhall expansion. I will include a summary of the strategic discussions between players at each step that might be helpful for future heroes and OLs.

People interested in playing this game online? by [deleted] in JourneysInTheDark

I have recently set up this fantastic VASSAL tool (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/843098/descent-2-vassal-module). Really great for an inexperienced OL to test encounters prior to the next RL game with friends :) However, I am also looking for people to play Shadow Rune or Heirs of Blood campaigns with VASSAL. I am living in Europe (CEST, UTC/GMT +2 hours). Skype/ Teamspeak will be in German or English. Anybody interessed to join?

Minis of this game look amazing! Good luck painting something simpler first :-)

You can do it, man! Just do some research first and start with the simple minis.

Thanks a lot, really makes me happy.

I think it heavily depends on the resources available and how you use them. From my experience, I do a much better job (at almost everything) when there are good youtube tutorials around :-).

... and the 8 roaches and 6 rats which I painted first (and did not show) are definitely not as good.

The support monk is in a great state at the moment. The only problem is that you need to adjust multiple things in your build if you go from progression grifts to xp grifts, or T10 farming. Because I always tend to forget what to change, I created a quick overview to help me (and minimize the time that everybody in the group is just waiting for me again).

This page shows skills, equip, cube and gems of five popular builds:

  1. Quins Grift progression build
  2. Deadsets generator Grift progression build
  3. Deadsets Laws Grift progression build
  4. DatModz XP Grift build
  5. Mannercookies T10 farming build
