Despite the wrong assumptions of many gamers nowadays, Descent and the Descent community  is anything but dead.

Here we provide a list of places for online discussions about Descent related  topics.  We tried to list the forums in the order of their importance or official status,  as we think, but opinions and preferences differ, so please take the way we ordered them here only as one way of prioritizing them.

If you want to go through this list of active Descent forums and discussion boards, prepare yourself for a registration orgy. In case you intend to register at some or even all of those sites you're well advised to choose a very unique username. Otherwise you may find out that the very same username has already been taken by someone on one of these sites and that you could end up having to use different nicks. If you intend to use something like "Peter", you'll hardly find a forum where this name is not in use by someone else yet.

Interplay forum

Interplay is the copyright holder of the Descent series of games. This is why their Descent forum is actually the only official Descent community place.

DescentBB

DescentBB is, as far as we can tell, the oldest Descent related community on the net. Although DescentBB is still a heavily frequented discussion board, many links in the sticky topics and announcements are a bit outdated, giving the impression that the site maintainers are not that devoted to the Descent games anymore. This also shows in the trend that the majority of posts appear in groups unrelated to the game.

DescentBB - Community forums

Descentforum.DE is the biggest German apeaking Descent discussion forum, but they also offer an English Embassy/International Descenters Forum. If you post in English in one of the German groups you usually get an English reply.

Planet Descent (.net)

Planet Descent (.net) is the "other" Planet Descent. It was born out of frustration over the problems arising at PlanetDescent.com (and which really has been shut in the meantime). PlanetDescent.net offers modern forum software, with features such as a Gallery and files section that members can upload to and an extended member's profile. PlanetDescent.net is a small but livly community and offers a freindly atmosphere to chat about Descent and other topics, get help, or share projects.

PlanetDescent.net is also host to Reactor, a SciFi and Descent Fan Fiction site.

Sectorgame

Sectorgame is a site around Hunter's Descent 3 level designs and modding. It contains a massive forum with sections for Descent.
