In Part I, I discussed the four important aspects that must be present to be successful: concept, scope, time, and goals. These aspects aren't just germaine to designing campaign worlds, but to any successful project, be it writing a poem, building an addition to your house, or passing a driving test. Now let's settling into those topics which are specific to building the campaign world. The first one I'll start with is cosmology, which is the focus of this article.

Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a role-playing based board game which in many ways is similar to Dungeons and Dragons. A product of Fantasy Flight Games, it is a game for 2-5 players with an age rating of 12 to adult. One of the players serves as the Overlord player and it is his or her job to make the other players the hero characters, miserable, I mean, challenged with the quest they are undertaking. It's been out a couple of years and just recently a new expansion was released, the Well of Darkness. Another expansion is already available for pre-order. Therefore, this seems like the perfect time to cast a Game Musketeers eye on this game. This review looks at the game from both the perspectives of the Overlord and Hero players.
