We look at stories that continue from game to game this week, examining games with campaigns. This time we're not tearing anything up. Today, Wednesday November 22nd 2017, we look in detail at Descent: Journeys in the Dark (2nd Edition), as well as examining what it is like to become attached to a character, and discussing the license these games give you to create your own stories around their narrative.

Campaign Games, Part 2 - Journey with me, in the dark

The world of tabletop games is a lot bigger than most people realize. In fact it's so big that the idea of investigating it can actually be kind of intimidating. When you see all those games you've never heard of, with rules and concepts and themes you've never seen before in a game, it's hard to know where to start.
The answer is: start with the SnakesCast. Every week, we'll bring you ten or fifteen minutes' worth of banter about what makes these games worth playing. With a different theme every episode and a rotating cast of both gurus and non-gurus from Toronto's premiere boardgame café, we'll show you just how much there is to play with out there.
