I have been tempted by this. But I have concerns.
I bought descent 2nd edition and then sold it. Because I ended up playing the overlords and I felt it was the suck ass role in the game.
I felt it was way more fun to be a hero than the villain. It felt like it was mostly too easy for the good guys.
Now I know that my group are generally quite crafty and sneaky. So it can be tough going up against a collective. But it drained the fun for me.
I love the theme of this a lot more but fear that the above issues will replicate themselves.
Any thoughts?
