Gloomhaven
- Thread starter Philz0r
- Start date
I bought Gloomhaven months ago, it's still in the carrier bag I brought it home in lol even though I had the feeling I 'had' to buy it, I've just never had the inclination since I got it 
I've read a few things can be issues, like tokens printing not being aligned to where they're being cut, and incorrect character cards. I should really at least open it so I can check if anything's wrong and get it sorted.

We had our first LAN party this weekend - so sadly had to hold off, but we are starting our GH campaign Friday + the weekend!
Cannneeeee wait.
We have chosen our starting classes (though not opened the boxes yet) Tinkerer, Craghart, Scoundrel & Spellweaver.

Forbidden planet delayed mine again, in theory some day next week they will have stock now....
I got the Folded space one, cost about £26 - its grand - fits everything in with room to spare. Easy to just have the separate boxes out on the table for what you need.
FYI -
We had our first session on Friday - got wrecked as a group of 4, though we did a few things wrong.
Enemies set to 1 not 0 (ouch big time haha)
Not drawing the enemies attack modifiers correctly (we just drew 1 for each group, not per attack)
Counting the enemies 'skills' before their initiative step (shield / retaliate etc)
All sorted now though, ready to roll again tomorrow!

I also use the Folded Space insert. 
We're a few scenarios in - our map - we realised that we kept forgetting the scenario XP at the end

Looking good! We opted to post-it note the scenario book, that way we only setup the tiles and nothing else till we open doors.

Started playing this with my 8 year old.
She is really enjoying it.
Just to confirm, you don't get XP for kills?
They drop a loot token which you can pickup by finishing on the square in movement, or using a loot ability?

Yep, that's right. You get XP at the end of the scenario if it was successful at a rate of 4XP + 2x the scenario level.

yes great thanks.
you don't loot by moving over tokens, just by ending on them yes?

Yeah only by ending your turn on them or using a loot X card to loot X hexs around you.
Though some ability cards do let you loot everything you move over.

Thanks again.
Tried playing with my wife and daughter but it was all a bit too much for them so in the meantime I've decided to try my hand at painting the models. Picked up a Reaper Learn to Paint kit a couple of weeks ago so have a long way to go but quite pleased with how these two turned out, makes them more interesting for sure!
