I don't know how much time it takes to maintain this LP, so I don't know how big of an ask this is, but how would you feel about after scenario 2 finishes, starting a second party using the remaining 3 characters? We could have the groups alternate days, so when group A is picking cards, group B is revealing cards and putting in their orders, and after scenario 2 I believe it's almost assured that we will always have 2 scenarios available to choose from.

Seems pretty simple? I'll bash the surviving zombie and move towards the chest.

^^^ Welcome aboard!


Step A is fairly light, most of it is copy/pasting card names into cells and then spreadsheet magic does the rest (plus ofc the actual Gloomhaven Helper part and screenshot).

Step B is quite admin intensive, even with the assistance of Spreadsheet magic. GH's cards being as varied as they are in effect, I still need to fix a lot of the text manually unless the turn is literally "use card A to attack target X, then use card B to move to hex Y", which is rarely the case. Plus ofc all the TTS, and Gloomhaven Helper admin (and screenshots).

Aside from thread clarity considerations, I don't think I would be able to overlap 2 parties, since I'm also hosting a CYOA game on the days I run Step A updates :/

BTW, I'm finally home so the update will follow momentarily!

Which CYOA game is that? I'm curious about CYOA games.

Some Numbers posted:

I'm legitimately surprised Cragheart didn't play Massive Boulder to end up on the chest.

archduke.iago posted:

uhhh i meant to and picked the wrong card on accident

Elephant Ambush posted:

LOL thank you for waiting until the cleanup phase to make a mistake like that

That Italian Guy posted:

Turns out the answer (so far, at least) is: quite a bit. Due to the players's choices so far, our protagonist really really really hates El/the Zepathans, he is trying very hard to venerate the aboriginal pantheon (the "good" fishes, not Asherah) and he doesn't care for his step-brother at all. The butterfly effect is in full swing and I fully expect the story to go in a complete different direction from the original one - also cause I've changed some part of the setting to better suit my tastes.

I'mma scoop up a coin and smack one of them with the top of Shield Bash.

Elephant Ambush posted:

I have bad news for you.

Zurai posted:

Can you at least loot BEFORE you potentially kill a zombie so that I can maybe scoop that one? It's not a huge deal if not, though.

Zurai posted:

Sure. If you do that, I can get there next turn with Skewer's bottom. Where are you planning to end up at the end of this turn (as if I need to ask)?

Reik posted:

Is there supposed to be 2 loot tokens in J6? Wouldn't Scurry have picked up the first one?

Elephant Ambush posted:

The bottom of Possession is the slingshot action and I just lost Scurry so I will not be moving.

Pending actions from last Round posted:

- The extra coin in hex J6(2) has been scooped up by Master Splinter's Scurry earlier in the round.
- Master Splinter gains 1 coin token

Barrow Lair, Round 10&11 posted:

- Master Splinter doesn't get to kill the Corpse (cause it draws a "stand still and drool" card on turn 2) and she is using bot of Possession on Round 11 to slingshot Bullwinkle. Only change: +1 coin token (looted on Round 10 with Into the Night bottom).
- Bullwinkle gets to loot the coin in J6(2) and, thanks to Possession and the MOVE6 from Skewer (bot) gets to loot the lonely coin on G4(1) as well! They are still married to this day. Final changes: +2 coin token and +1XP
- Rocky's Round 10 is all about that chest and generating EARTH with Rumbling Advance. Inside there are 10 gold! Round 11, Rocky moves to door b hex with MOVE4 from Massive Boulder, then targets G7(2) with a buffed up Dirt Tornado, killing the Living Corpse with a 3 damage attack (the zombie had also damaged itself earlier in the round). Final changes: +10 gold and +1XP.

Conclusion posted:

Sifting through the carnage left by the battle, you find a cache at the back of the room containing the scrolls you were hired to collect. You can’t help but rifle through them a bit, but find that the writing upon them is in some unknown archaic language. One thing that does jump out at you, however, is a map of the northern countryside. A bend in the Still River is clearly marked as a point of interest. Contemplating whether you want to find out more about this so-called “Gloom,” you decide that the spot could be a point of interest for you, as well. 4

But that can be forgotten for the moment. You pack up the papers and head back to Gloomhaven to collect your reward.

Meeting Jekserah once again at the Sleeping Lion, you hand over the papers and are paid the agreed-upon amount.

“You know,” she whispers to you softly under the bustle of the tavern. “If you’re interested, I may have another job for you. A tribe of Inox in the Dagger Forest has ransacked a couple of my caravans headed to the Capital.

“I told the militia, but they do nothing,” she spits. “I can point you in the direction of their encampment. If you can make an example of them, I will pay you even more.”

She places a crude map of the forest on the table and stands up, her jewelry clinking with the movement. “Come fnd me when it is done.” 3

I want to stagger the voting a little bit, to give people more time to participate. For now PLEASE VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING THINGS (and please remember to bold your choices:
- MVP/Play of the Game for Scenario2!
- Bullwinkle's Perk. The list can be found in his character's sheet just above.
- Money matters! Please specify if you want someone to buy/sell an item; the current Market pool is available HERE. Also, please if you want someone to donate 10 gold to the Sacred Oak Sanctuary, please remember to specify who!

Elephant Ambush posted:

We did it! We got The Sad Coin!

The coin is happy now! It has a home!

That was a blast! Thanks for letting me participate and I can't wait to see what future groups do.


VOTES:

MVP = Rocky for that buffed Dirt Tornado in the doorway that annihilated stuff and tore up the stuff that didn't die. That whole part of the scenario would have been way harder if that hadn't happened.

Bullwinkle's perk = Ignore negative item effects and add a +1

Shopping = Bullwinkle should buy Hide Armor. Rocky should buy Eagle Eye Goggles. It's so good with Backup Ammo!

Sanctuary donation = I vote that Master Splinter donate. There is nothing in the shop that will make any meaningful difference in power level in the near future and enhancements won't be available for a long time so let's try to accelerate to Prosperity 2.

City Event: Help the person! Option A.
