[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5042320, member: 52734"] I like to buy lots of varied games and try them out. I've had FFG's Descent for a year or two, and just managed to arrange a bi-weekly game with some friends to actually play through it (and hopefully all the expansions - I've got them all, including Sea of Blood). I'm curious to see how Road to Legend plays out - if it still feels like a boardgame or if it has enough elements to feel somewhat like a story-lite RPG. I've been reading up on the Warhammer 3E game, and have it on order - will be getting in the next week or so. I'm curious to see how it plays out. I have the Warhammer 2E stuff and thought it very engaging reading, though I was never able to get a group together to play it. Back in the day, my friends and I used to play (Advanced) Heroquest, so this seems like a "modern" version of that. I'm hoping I can interest my Descent players to try it out after we finish up Descent - or possibly try a straight-up comparison. I've also played 4E, but I can't say I'm overly fond of it (funny, considering how much I like Descent, yet dislike the heavy emphasis on combat and battlemats in 4E). However, I have to admit that the tactical side of the game, with battlemats and minis, are fun enough to do in [I]short[/I] bursts for me. I do plan to get the Dark Sun Campaign Book down the road (and possibly PHB3 for psionics), but I'm not sure I'll actually play it. So, I wanted to ask those who have had experience with at least two of these different games - of the three different games listed above, which have you played and how would compare your experiences? Is there one you prefer over the other? Any particular reason why? Do you see elements in one game you'd like to see in the others? [/QUOTE]
