My wife and I decided, in the interest of having fun, that if a questline closed some missions that we could have done first, we can just...go do them, gently caress it. Scenarios are the main content in the game.

I like the idea, but my only concern with this is that it sometimes might make it too easy to complete personal quests. One of my group members wants to do 31 and 32, e.g., which are now sealed off (I think his personal quest is to do missions in Gloomhaven). On the other hand, -not- doing them might it make it too difficult.

Can you do locked off quests in casual mode? Because I'm pretty sure completing scenarios in casual mode counts for personal goals.

There's no need to play the closed-off ones until I've exhausted all the non-closed-off ones, and that prospect seems distant currently.

We might be playing with 5 players tonight. We already use gloomycompanion and dice on standees so hopefully it won't go too slow. Anyone tried it and have any advice? Planning on running it four player with +2 difficulty.

I have a question for the Music Note. do your songs affect you or are you excluded? Specifically Defensive Ditty says "Shield 1, affect all allies." I don't want to soak any hits but just curious. Does the wording matter? Likewise, Tuning the Outcome says "Bless. Affect all adjacent allies." Does this also include me? Thanks and God bless

In general, things that affect allies, don't affect you. If a thing has a range (e.g. heal 2 range 2) it can affect you. If it says 'affects allies at range blah' e.g. all adjacent allies, you're excluded. If it says 'self and x adjacent allies' you're obviously included.

Wholly different experience in my mind, just having heard about the latter (and knowing how it works from pandemic season 1 and 2 and charterstone). I got the game on 1/18. Tried to play with my 3 friends on 1/29, but one could only be there to pick characters and setup campaign. We planned to play during Super Bowl but that fell apart. Hopefully we can play on 2/12 but after that the next available day is 3/2. That's potentially kicking off the game a month and a half after getting it. Plan is to hopefully play every other Saturday night though. One dude is newly a cop and works night shifts 2 nights on, 2 off, 3 on, 3 off, repeat. Another works 7a-5p Friday-Mon.

Did I miss something again, or is scenario 13 basically a PC kill floor? I'm pretty sure it's looking for a pretty specific strategy where you lock down one or both of the elites with a series of CCs while abusing the living spirits' low health through true damage or piercing, but I can't seem to do both at the same time. I assume it's a matter of poor execution on my part, but did anyone find a better way to handle it? Simply ignoring the golems works great, by the way, if you were wondering, right up until it doesn't anymore. They'll be trundling slowly across the map like dumb beetles, and then they'll draw their ranged attack and you take 10 damage and another 6 from the trap they drag you across. That's what happened just now. It was kind of cool, actually. Hell of a way to go. gently caress this, I'm going to retire these clowns and play through #13 later with somebody else.

That was one of my first missions with Moon, the instakill normal enemies was really useful for taking out high-health enemies. We didn't have too much trouble. We handled the golems pretty easily (just make sure to keep the elites controlled while you work on their health), then if you just open the door and step back (or have your door opener invis) everything groups up really nicely trying to get to you. It's a really short scenario so then you can just go ham with the loss cards to burn everything down.

For my party's first unlock I just unlocked Angry face(helmet)? and holy poo poo this character seems broken. Do two damage per turn guaranteed to any enemy on the map? Permanent advantage against the enemy of my choosing? Even the name is OP. I feel like I'm gonna be blazing through missions with this guy and my fiancee's cragheart. Am I missing something or is this an incredibly powerful character? Or are all the unlockable characters like this?

I just reread the monster movement rules and I'm thinking they might be really, really stupid when it come to healing, more stupid than I was assuming before. This seems ridiculous, so can someone check my understanding? It looks like if a monster has movement but no attacks, they'll move toward a PC as if they could do a melee attack, and then do whatever non-attack move they have prepared. So if they have movement and a ranged heal, they'll run up to you, sit in your lap or whatever, and cast healing on whoever they can reach. They'll do this even if the only monster that needs a heal will be out of range when the healer runs up, and of course it won't matter that healers tend to be the exact kind of monster that doesn't want to be sitting in your lap when it's your turn. For instance, right now I'm looking at five forest imps that want to fly over, surround my dudes, heal each other (except there's nothing to heal), and then it'll be my turn and I'm going to blow them all up. Is that really intended?

Because the rules straight up say that's how it works and the designer has repeatedly confirmed it.

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1F5YcJz4sY8tVP86cH6MS2x4np98RcPXGEM-E6CoNU1g/edit This is a great flowchart that covers the above. I get it, sometimes you feel like it’s too easy but there’s a balance between competent AI and AI that can be followed through for a move in less than 30 minutes. Sometimes you end up with wonky instances like the above - the game is balanced around it and if you think it’s too easy, knock it up a notch.

I don't think I've seen him explicitly say WHY it's like that. I can guess, though. The rule working this way means that a) Monsters behave more predictably, which is important for how tactical the game is and b) keeps the monsters from just loving off and walking away, which is important for how strict the time limit is.

Any suggestion for how to play this as a one-off session and not as a campaign? I'm visiting my brother for a few days and we want to re-live our HeroQuest days. Note I have not been able to play my copy at all besides looking at it and setting it up and pretending I have the time to devote to boring solo sessions.

There is the kickstarter campaign as well as random dungeons perhaps? Link to the Kickstarter campaign: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0YhWyVTbs9mWjJXTFgtVktRY0U/view If you play that one ignore the choices at the end of the scenarios. Issac made these during the Kickstarter run and he let the backers decide and made the follow up scenerios depending on their choices.

This is the perfect game to recreate the old heroquest days because it has the same feel but replaces the nostalgia factor with a better game.
