Finished scenario 4 and for the first time I really felt in control. Scoundrel, Cragheart and Mindthief all have multiple items, familiar with their skills, managed to get the loot instead of just fill the objective, happy as can be. All 3 made it to L2 now, so time to re-arrange the deck, pick up perks and keep killing things.

I see this in the rules: "In addition, once a scenario has been completed in campaign mode, it cannot be undertaken again in campaign mode by any party." Is there a good reason for this? Because I want to dive into a campaign this weekend on my own and then play a campaign later with my group. According to this rule, would we not be allowed to restart at Scenario 1?

Are you planning on actually keeping both campaigns going at once? Otherwise I'd say just do the solo stuff for a bit without actually stickering things, and then play through with your group as normal.

Yeah, I probably would keep both campaigns going simultaneously--mainly because I'll probably want to play Gloomhaven more often than my group can get together. I know there are tools online to track multiple campaigns. I guess I'm just wondering how detrimental that might be to the experience (aside from bookkeeping, which I don't mind). Can a party of 3 or 4 Level 1 characters start with any scenario? Will the storyline of a campaign make any sense that way?

CaptainRightful posted:I see this in the rules: "In addition, once a scenario has been completed in campaign mode, it cannot be undertaken again in campaign mode by any party." The reason is so you can't farm a scenario a bunch of times for its rewards. Like say if a boss scenario has a big gold/prosperity reward, you can't just farm the boss for a bunch of money and prosperity. You can replay scenarios in casual mode, which just means you don't get any of the listed rewards or story progress. You still get any money, XP, treasure, checkmarks, etc that you earn during the scenario, but not the reward listed for completing it in the scenario book.

I'd recommend just tracking it as two different world, yeah. Not going to be particularly satisfying for your friends if you've already gone and looted the end-of-scenario rewards for yourself in another campaign.

I leave stickers and stuff for the multiplayer campaign with my friends and run my solo campaign completely separate off a spreadsheet where I track my progress.

Got my copy and punched it! I had only extremely minor issues, a bit of sticky spray stuff to rebind a map tile and a few spots where i had to use a knife to cut where the punch wasn't done well.

If both parties are adventuring in the same world, they both benefit from the same global achievements, unlocks, prosperity, and so on and so they can't double dip by applying rewards from the same scenario run more than once. If you are okay with having separate world progress between the two, just track them separately and it's not an issue.

Got everything punched. 3 monster standees, all on the lower left corner of their respective sheets, had the back paper detach from the cardboard core. Easily fixed with plain ol' Elmer's. Also, 2 sheets were offset printed, which is only really noticeable on the summon counters. As a wargamer, I've seen worse.

What's the average time for a scenario everyone is running? My group of four is sitting at about two to two and a half including doling out rewards and setting up new rooms as we explore them but not initial setup.

If we really focused, avoided socializing and actively made people go quick it could be faster. That's not to talk about city/road events, leveling, shopping, reading stuff, etc.

60 to 90 minutes for us, but that's after 40+ scenarios. It was closer to 2 hours at the start.

Elblanco posted:As someone who just discovered this game and doesn't have a copy yet. How many scenarios are in the campaign? About 100, but some are unlocked through choices on events or chests in other scenarios, and the storyline branches too. So in one campaign you cannot get to all the scenarios, though nothing’s stopping you from playing all of them

After one day with this game, I can see how the BT organizer will save a ton of setup time and neatly keep the unlocked cards separate from the locked ones. The monster tuck boxes are also particularly helpful. But it sucks that you can't fit everything back in the box. I'll probably get some kind of file folder for the room tiles, because there's no way I'm going to take the time to carefully align them in the only configuration that (almost) fits, which is certainly not stacked alphabetically.

Dollar store organizer: - world's shittiest accordion binder to alphabetically sort the dungeon tiles - ziploc bags, one for each monster type: put the AI deck, stat card(s) (multiple types of archer), and standees all in the same baggy - plano box for all the tokens, 1-hex terrain tiles and stuff like benches - additional baggy with the 2-3 hex terrain tiles - plenty of room in the original storage to have separate spots for locked/unlocked card piles - keep attack modifier decks inside the character pouches - freezer size ziploc bag for all the "campaign" stuff like sticker sheets, town hall booklet, etc. I've looked at all the organizers on the market and they're all going to be slower to setup than this. Though this is ugly because you end up just piling the baggies into your box Vehementi fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Nov 24, 2017 |

Amazon, make sure you're looking at the page for the 3600, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C...fiVL&ref=plSrch It's kind of misleading, the picture only shows one but the unit size says 4 pack.

Some Numbers posted:Oh wow, I totally missed that, thanks. Yup, they're just slightly different models. If you're going based off the YASS plans from BGG, those are based on the 1st edition which has extra pieces (some useless bless/curse tokens). For your token box, just divide the 3600 into18 even compartments and it fits everything perfectly.

So I'm about to haul Gloomhaven over to my friends' place for the first time. We are going to try the 5 player version, with the scaling monster levels and traps by 2. (Anyone have a more detailed version of that? A link would be great - it doesn't totally make sense to me as wouldn't that make our group of level 1 characters fighting level 3 monsters?.) Our play group is variable, so we're going to often have people coming in and out. And since I spent like $100 on this, I don't want to... gently caress around with a bunch of stupid rules for preserving some sanctity of the game experience. We're just going to play it and have fun, and if campaign stuff becomes a mess because we die a lot or because so and so wasn't there one week or because some other time we had 5 players. People will play different characters, and each other's characters, week to week. My only rule is going to be "no arguing about gloomhaven." My gloomhaven box is going to become the fukken anarchy  gloomhaven. And I look forward to it.

CommonShore posted:We are going to try the 5 player version, with the scaling monster levels and traps by 2... you are already doing the latter by doing the former. I get what you're trying to say, but in this case, playing it 5 player IS a bunch of stupid rules. There's going the extra distance to preserve the 'sanctity' of the game experience and then there's trying to play a 4 player game with 5 players. Have fun!
