Have you descended all of the dungeons in Descent? Dipped in the Well of Darkness? Walked the Road to Legend? Would you sacrifice yourself on the Altar of Despair for more adventures? Has the Tomb of Ice melted from your burning desire for more quests?
Never fear! Fantasy Flight Games announced Thursday a hardcover Quest Compendium to satiate your thirst for more treasure (or hereos' blood depending on your hero/overlord persuasion).
Have you descended all of the dungeons in Descent? Dipped in the Well of Darkness? Walked the Road to Legend? Would you sacrifice yourself on the Altar of Despair for more adventures? Has the Tomb of Ice melted from your burning desire for more quests?
Never fear! Fantasy Flight Games announced Thursday a hardcover Quest Compendium to satiate your thirst for more treasure (or hereos' blood depending on your hero/overlord persuasion).
Without a firm release date, but a promised summer release, FFG plans on producing a 96-page, hardbound quest book by a team of geam designers and authors including:
• Monte Cook (D&D 3rd Edition) sounds an angel's plea for help to save the world from being pulled across a dimensional divide and permanently warping reality.
• Keith Baker (Eberron (D&D), Gloom) leads heroes directly into the middle of a deadly blood feud between two restless spirits of hatred embodied. Caught in the epic battle, choosing a side will be the hardest decision to make.
• Kenneth Hite (Where the Deep Ones Are) adapts a classic film to the fantastic setting of Descent and finds an unlikely ally only too happy to help uncover a precious treasure, but for a price...
• Mike Selinker (Yetisburg) entraps the heroes within a demonic puzzle that threatens to destroy the world we know in a whirl of chaos.
• John Kovalic (Dork Tower) takes you back to an old haunt on an unexpected mission on behalf of a former enemy, featuring some of John Kovalic's trademark wit and commentary.
The book will also feature an introducting by Alan R. Moon and a tribute to Gary Cygax by Descent creator Kevin Wilson. It sounds a lot like the recent Tide of Iron: Designer Series book. Any word on how good that is? I know I said recently I would probably pass on any future Descent expansions, but this may tempt me as I can see it being one of those hard-to-find expansions in later years.
