Reik posted:It would also showcase how casual mode works. That would complement the LP - as Casual Mode is available from the start, but I think I should add some other new feature to it to prevent the repeated Scenario from being too boring (since we've seen all those scenarios recently enough); if we pick that option, I'll try to come up with something to spice the mission up a bit! Maybe a video playthrough to showcase how the game plays out normally (either irl or over TTS), a "Rocky and Friends" episode (playing the scenario with Rocky +2 of the other starter character's) or even a simple Difficulty +1.

City Management V, Update 1 Let's see what wonderful City Event 17, resolution posted:
Finances posted:Having a look at the economic side, it looks like there is a strong lead for donating with everyone and having Bullwinkle sell his old Hide Armor (for half its price, so +5 gold).  The IRL box contains a ton of sealed stuff...including these delightful envelopes, with a (paper) seal you have to tear off in order to open them  Unsealing Envelop B... posted:
 As you can see, every 5 donations we'll increase Gloomhaven's prosperity tracker by 1. Also this does nothing to counteract our bad rep. I was told paying for simonies was the way to go  Let's discuss where our party should head to next, even if we don't need to leave immediately... NOTE: we only know the basic creature and tiles composition for a Scenario at first; if we choose to pick one, I'll provide additional details (such as the map layout, creatures stat cards - and ability deck if we've met them before - and always active Scenario Effects). Available Scenario Locations posted:- We've found the location of the Clockwork Cove in a treasure chest in Scenario 1. As the name implies, we would face constructs, traps and puzzles. This is a Side Scenario. This is what we can expect from the Scenario: Road Event 8 posted: on the bandits? Do we spend all our cash and pick option A? You decide!PLEASE KEEP VOTING FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices: - MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario 11! - Bullwinkle's new PERK. - Money matters: do we want to buy something with anyone? - Our Next Destination. - Road Event outcome (option A or B).

Is retiring an absolutely unchangeable core mechanic or could we just "not" and build up our stable of party members to rotate in and out on a per-mission basis? Still capped at 3? Since we can still use retired characters in Casual mode, and take rewards from Casual mode over to the main scenario (?), would that really be such a big change? I'm just thinking out loud here, I don't know the later stages of the game obviously.

There's nothing stopping you having a large stable of characters of which only a few go on a scenario. Once a character retires they are gone forever; you can't use them in casual mode. You can start a new character of the same class though.

Yeah, you can just make a new character of the same class, with a (cumulative) extra Perk and a starting level equal to the city's current Prosperity. Honestly it wouldn't even lose us any experience because retiring a character grants +1 Prosperity tick which would mean Prosperity 3. Still gently caress scenario 81 though.

The real issue seems to be what our replacement Cragheart's name would be. I'd have suggested 'Bullwinkle', but, well... Also, while I've been lurking the entire thread, I figured now would be a good time to pop in and thank That Italian Guy for being nutty enough to do this for us. So, uh, thanks TIG, for being nutty enough to run this for us! (Especially because the computer game version looks like it's NOT going to be a computer board game version of the regular board game, despite this being one of the few games where I'd be 100% for that idea.) This game is rad as hell, and I'm deeply glad to get a chance to experience it, even if only secondhand.

vdate posted:The real issue seems to be what our replacement Cragheart's name would be. I'd have suggested 'Bullwinkle', but, well... Ahah, thanks! And, have I missed something? Last time I had checked, the videogame version seemed quite close to the real deal? The only altered mechanic I've noticed was related to Short Rests being declared at the start of the Round - like Long Rest - forcing you to lose a card before picking the 2 you would play that round. They have even announced an online coop mode, with a "master game" and the characters being handed out from the host to the other players, so that you could even play a "drop in / drop off" campaign with whoever is available, similarly to the boardgame irl.

I do think retiring asap isn't a terrible idea for a LP that will most likely take years to get through all of the content in the box.MarquiseMindfang posted:Is retiring an absolutely unchangeable core mechanic or could we just "not" and build up our stable of party members to rotate in and out on a per-mission basis?

Retiring is a core mechanic, but as people have said there would be nothing stopping us from starting up another Cragheart immediately afterwards.

That Italian Guy posted:Ahah, thanks! Huh! For some reason I had gotten the impression from somewhere that it was going to be a single-player dungeon-crawling-thing using the same mechanics but not the GH campaign structure. I may have been misinformed! If that is the case, I return once again to the GH Videogame Hype Train. (Skimming the available material on the steam page suggests that you're correct and whatever source I pulled my mistaken impression from was full of poo poo, so yeah, all aboard and all that.) (edit: source link for this info being this post on the placeholder Steam page for GHPC, while the (mistaken?) first impression came from this link.) vdate fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Apr 11, 2019 |

Bullwinkle's perk posted:- With a large lead, Bullwinkle will remove a -1mod and add a +1mod to his attack modifiers deck! Scenario 4 - Crypt of the Damned - Location posted:
Scenario 4 - Crypt of the Damned - Features posted:These are the details we know about Scenario 4 before starting it: Scenario 4 - Crypt of the Damned - Creatures posted:These are the stats for this Scenario's creatures:  Also, we're facing quite a few new enemies in this Scenario! These Cultist seems to be whimps, but they may have some tricks up their ample sleeves. The Demons appear to be some kind of beefy bruisers (Earth) and some nimble, high SHIELD low HP skirmisher (Wind).Scenario 4 - Crypt of the Damned - Introduction posted:The bandit commander’s proclamations of a “Gloom” do not sit well in your stomach as you search the bend in the Still River— something here holds an interest for these maniacs.   Players spawn tiles are marked with a STRENGTHEN token. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the active players to respond to their PMs before proceeding, so stay tuned! If everyones come back and replies in a timely fashion, we may have a regular update tomorrow.
