Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting on it. End your first post in this thread with the title of the game you're placing a bet on (i.e. voting for) so its clear to me when reading it later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. Counting expansions or not is entirely up to you just as playing with them or not is. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Dungeon Quest is going to win this proving beyond all doubt the world is fucked.

DungeonQuest is one of those games that I've been playing since I was in 1st grade, and I've always pretty much hated it. While I've had some games of it that were really fun, more often than not, everyone just wanders around getting their asses kicked until the sun goes down. Last time I played the game, I was that chick with the dragon, and I went through nothing but empty rooms until I got two squares away from the treasure pile. Then I encountered a snake, rolled for damage, and my character died instantly. That kind of thing is usually funny, but I don't like that to be the majority of my games.
Descent has a similar problem. Sometimes it's awesome, but usually it's slow, dull, and pointless. As much as the game is praised for its "tactical" gameplay, we always end up using the same strategy in %90 of combat situations. A lot of the scenarios pretty much suck, too. Either they give the good guys some nice treasure cards right off the bat so most of the overlord's monsters can't even damage the heroes, or they just introduce some bullshit special rule that makes the game almost impossible to win for them (your sword kills you, the roof is collapsing, the boss can only be killed by a boulder, etc.).
I don't know. I guess it ain't saying much, but the times I've had fun with Descent seem to outnumber the times I've had fun with Dungeonquest, so...

Either way, it doesn't matter. I'll love Descent until the day I die. It's got a number of characters, weapons, items, treasure, skills, monsters, traps and layout possibilities that only Arkham Horror can match. It's got a lot of crap in those boxes. And all of it is awesome.
If you can't handle the analysis paralysis and just jump in there and wreck shiz then go back to playing Puerto Rico. Your games won't be slow and dull then.

but Descent is just a better all-round game from variety, to components, to depth.
My Vote is Descent.

It doesn't beat around the bush before killing you.
The sun has set. You have walked into the fangs of a ravenous grue!
