Join us, brave adventurers, as we descend into the depths to fight evil and hunt for mysterious treasure! We will be playing Descent: Journeys in the Dark from 3PM to game completion or exhaustion. What is Descent?

Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a semi-cooperative game in which two to five players will take on the antagonistic roles of heroes and Overlord. Up to four players will choose characters with a wide assortment of skills and innate abilities to be the heroes who will explore dungeons in search of treasure and adventure. One player will take on the role of the Overlord and will control the dungeon's many traps, puzzles, and monsters.

The heroes' goal will be to cooperatively conquer the dungeon, seize its many treasures, and achieve other objectives as set by the scenario. If the heroes cooperate and achieve their goals, they will all win. The Overlord's objective is simply to use all the means at his or her disposal - from deadly traps and ferocious monsters - to kill the heroes. Each hero has a certain Conquest Point value to the party and if too many Conquest Points are lost through hero death, the party loses and the Overlord wins.


We will have a predetermined Overlord, and thus room for FOUR stalwart heroes. We will play at RCC (exact room to be determined). You do not need to bring anything, but we do ask that all players review the rules prior to arriving so everyone has an idea of how to play. Please note that there are only 4 spots available, so if you RSVP, please do try to attend. Thanks!

       Great meetup! Thanks to everyone for playing and making my GFs first gaming experience a great one. She had a blast and so did I! 
    •  Great game, and we finally finished! Even though we didn't finish with a Hero win. But it was a great time! Old friends and new friends, who could ask for more?
