[桌遊]Descent 2版的第一個Preview發表

預計在今年（2012）夏天出版的Descent 2版終於發表他們的第一個Preview。新版的內容物有：

This updated version of the classic board game of dungeon-delving adventure features a host of enhancements, including new heroes and monsters, accessible rules, a class-based hero system, campaign play, and much more. In addition to its nearly 50 detailed plastic figures, 48 map tiles, nine custom dice, and much more, Second Edition offers a comprehensive Quest Guide with 37 original maps.

另外提到一些有趣的地方：

To keep campaign play interesting and varied, players will not always experience the same quests, or experience them in the same order, when playing through The Shadow Rune (the included campaign) multiple times. In fact, there is a well developed narrative driving the campaign that can branch off in different directions. Depending on whether the heroes or the overlord win certain quests, the players can actually influence how the overarching plot plays out. This brings a sense of light roleplaying to Second Edition, while giving players a feeling of ownership over their heroes’ fates.

本遊戲也會由香港戰棋會推出中文版，它們的討論區有玩家試跑後的爆料：

任務的平衡度很高，Heroes跟Overlord的贏面相約，過程較前作緊湊。
新的情節系統很好，容許較高的故事性，且故遭遇及章節之間小勝負對往後發展亦具義意。
Overlord的行動不再只是一名DM，他的選擇比前重要，而且同時有in-game感覺。
介紹新人入手的協助不錯，要知的規則細節不多(當然要贏的規則要多花時間)。
整體而言，第二版包含前作所有擴展的遊戲架構，留了優點，去了缺點，卻裝在一個核心裝中。現在可以放的說，沒時間開D&D，真的可以開Descent 2nd Edition補償。期待完成版的出現。
