Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Descent definitely totally not 3.0

You’d think given the IP they would have had a steady stream of expansions lined up behind the core box but in the four years since it came out, only one expansion. Then again I was rather disappointed in the game play so no big loss .
My son and I are around the midpoint of our second campaign of Journeys, and we're loving it. The core box campaign had 15 scenarios and it looks like the Shadowed Paths expansion (the one we're playing currently) has 13 or so. There are also DLC campaigns available for the core box as well as Shadowed Paths available for $7 each. In addition to these, there's another big box expansion with its own campaign available as well as another DLC campaign that goes along with it. This is a TON of content.
It's also the first FFG app assisted game that was built that way from the ground up, unlike Descent, Imperial Assault, or Mansions of Madnes, whose apps were developed later, and it's waaaaay better than those games. The fact that my 14 yo is still engaged and wanting to continue playing speaks volumes.

If it was a standalone game that could let you carry over characters from the base game, it could have made new players want to try it, and for an expansion, maybe they should have made efforts to reuse more of the original material to keep the price lower, but here, it feels even more niche than it should.

FFG under Asmodee is hard to even comprehend with regard to product strategy.

At their zenith, like say 15 years ago in the peak coffin box pre crowdfunding era, FFG was hot shit. Now its a shadow of its former self. I went to the FFG homepage to get a sense of what they were doing other than pumping out Arkham and LotR LCG packs. I got a chuckle when I saw an entry "celebrating 25 years of Terrinotth" .
Their Upcoming page hasn't been updated in six months. WTF. Star Wars Unlimited doesn't appear on the main FFG site, it looks like it has a separate standalone site.
Now I find the Asmodee store, it looks like maybe the FFG site is just gonna fade and they are gonna group it all on the Asmodee site?
Whatever.

So they are on their third leadership group in ten years. So the lack of long term strategy is not really surprising in some ways.
