Although it’s recognisably a descendant of _Descent_ (sorry), it’s officially Not a New Edition, but a new game; this matters to somebody. And like new _Mansions_ it’s fully-coop app-only. Which, at least until Valkyrie supports it, means no writing your own adventures. No idea how many potential purchasers that’ll matter to, though. Interview from Dicebreaker with some of the designers: > **[Descent: Legends of the Dark designers on why it’s not a Journeys in the Dark...](https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/descent-legends-of-the-dark/interview/descent-legends-of-the-dark-designer-interview)** > > Descent: Legends of the Dark co-designers discuss the upcoming app-powered dungeon-crawler. I look at this: ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/2X/d/deb76fac3132dbfc26ca10ba4b10a6444cd18564.jpeg) and think “no, the raptors cancel to leave just velocity”. I may be a bit, um. ---

It being not a new edition might mean they keep printing 2nd edition, which would be nice because I doubt Legends of the Dark plays very similarly. Not that I like 2nd edition. And the 3d terrain in this one places it firmly outside the price/storage range I’m willing to allocate to a generic fantasy dungeon crawler with no immediate hook. ---

FFG do keep saying “yay, a thing set in Terrinoth!” as though anyone actually cared about Terrinoth. ---

Speed. Velocity’s a vector, Victor, and that’s a scalar. ---

This reminded me that after my partner and I finish our **Sleeping Gods** campaign (probably Saturday?), we get to dive into the new **Descent**!! It’s been sitting on my shelf for a few months now… can’t wait! … but that means I have to paint the minis before then… gahhhh… but still! Excited!
