Question

Post Body

Hello. I just started a new campaign of Descent with my friends. We're all avid gamers, we play Twilight Imperium regularly, but I was the only one with experience with Descent, thus naturally played the Overlord.

They lost the first encounter, and I am worried that they'll get stuck in a death spiral, since quest rewards favor the winner. I am also slightly less worried that they'll learn the game and start overwhelming me, but I wouldn't mind losing every scenario.

What house rules do you recommend to prevent the hero players from getting stuck in a death spiral over the course of the campaign?
