Description

[Edit] [History]

A dungeon crawl game using modular boards and scenarios, the game system is an updated version of Fantasy Flight's Doom: The Boardgame. One player acts as the dungeon master while the others take on the roles of adventurers cooperatively exploring a fantasy dungeon. The game is set in FFG's Terrinoth universe (the same as used for Runebound) and was designed by Kevin Wilson. 20 plastic miniature heroes and 60 plastic miniature monsters.

2 Build Your Own Hero Excel File
DescentCharacterEditor_v_0_2.zip
This is two Excel files. One is based off of Kevin W's Build Your Own Hero pdf. It's a spreadsheet that can be used to create your own custom hero. It also contains a macro for creating a completely random character, and a separate page for printing out your hero. The second file id based off of the pdf, but I changed several things to make it possible to create all of the current Descent heroes, and balance out some things that I didn't like with the original system (for instance creating a Dwarf, Human, and Nimble character with the exact same stat line yielding different BP's).
2 Descent Character Editor
DescentCharacterEditor_v0.1.xls
Simple Excel spreadsheet that incorporates all of the rules in the Build Your Own Hero pdf. Has a random button for generating a random hero, and a print sheet.
2 Descent to Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Concordance (PDF format)
Descent to D&D Concordance - JitD.pdf
The purpose of these lists is to provide a list of Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures that can be used in lieu of Descent miniatures in order to possibly have a means of using painted minis in Descent. No D&D mini at all looks just like a Descent version. Some are spot on replacements, while others could fill the role but are markedly different looking. The lists contain multiple D&D minis that might be used to replace a Descent mini. The final decision if which ones are preferred is up to the reader.
