Lina Inverse is the main character from Slayers, a fantasy comedy anime from the 90s. She's the most powerful sorceress in the world and has a hair trigger temper. She will level an entire town with her Dragon Slave nuke spell to blow up a single bad guy. The silver lining is that nobody really dies, they just have that burned smoky thing going on afterwards like in Looney Tunes. She's not a good person but she's funny and usually blows up the right bad guys, she's just oblivious to collateral damage.

Megumin is the mage from an amime that has a really long title but is shortened to Konosuba. It's a parody of the isekai genre. Megumin is the party mage. She really likes explosions. So much so that Explosion is the only spell she knows and she puts all her xp and level up points into making that one spell as strong as possible. This means that she can only cast the spell once per day and it completely drains and immobilizes her. But it's a pretty big explosion. Her big character flaw is that she's Jr. High aged and suffers from what the Japanese call "chuunibyou" which means that she writes headcanon super hero fan fiction about herself and is generally embarrassing. Megumin is her super hero nickname for herself and is really awful and childishly cringe-worthy.

So both characters are powerful mages with appropriately Gloomhaven-y personally traits.

This is road event 38 which means it got added to the deck, do we know how it was added?

I think it's one of the events added by unlocking the Doomstalker, with about a 5% chance of that happening :v:

I said I would love to play the Spellweaver if someone wants to trade for the Mindthief.

In fact, if Megumin wins the vote, I'm prepared to RP the gently caress out of the next dungeon.

City Management XI, Update 3 and Scenario 66 Preamble.
NOTE: I'm not 100% sure if this is acceptable for everyone, so let's recap before proceeding :) Some Numbers would like to play the Spellweaver; SalTheBard would rather NOT play the Mindthief. Elephant Ambush, would it be ok for you to play our stabby rat and let SalTheBard play the beastly rat instead?

Spellweaver's final choices posted:

- Our new Spellweaver is Lina Megumin Inverse (of the Gloomhaven Megumin Inverse, I suppose)!
- Her level 2 Card is Flashing Burst.
While on the Road to the next Scenario...

Road Event 38, resolution posted:



Effect: +1 Prosperity.
Good thing we had our Beast Tyrant, since we have unlocked the Doomstalker and then left him at home :) (this Event is one of the two added to the deck by unlocking that Class).

Let's examine our next destination: Scenario 66 - Clockwork Cove

Scenario 66 - Clockwork Cove - Location posted:


Good news everyone! I manage to fix the worldmap, so regular stickers are back! The Map is taunting us with all those un-unlocked Scenarios...

We found the location of this place inside a Treasure Chest in our very first Scenario!

Scenario 66 - Clockwork Cove - Features posted:

These are the details we know about Scenario 66 before starting it:
Links to: Gloomhaven (somehow).
Requirements: None
Goal: Occupy pressure plate (E)
Tiles in the Scenario:

Map Layout:

Oh boy, Oozes! Yay! Also, this place is huuuuge. Also also, some of the vector paint I used in the previous scenario bugged out and it's now permanently impressed as a weird white line on the tabletop!

Scenario 66 - Clockwork Cove - Creatures posted:

These are the stats for this Scenario's creatures:

These are the ability decks for the creatures we've already faced in battle before.
NOTE: these are the "in the box" cards. We normally use the app ones, that automatically make the necessary calculations for us; the various "+1", "-1", etc are to be applied to the base value for that stat on the monster card. So if the base value is "Attack 4", an "Attack -1" ability card would mean that, for that round, the monster has an Attack value of 3.
Oozes:

Ancient Artilleries:

Living Spirits:

Stone Golems:

NOTE: certain monster archetypes share a common deck. The combination of unique stat cards and shared ability decks allows the game to feel even larger than it already is!
The good news is that we know everything about every creature in the Scenario.

Scenario 66 - Clockwork Cove - Introduction posted:

The writings you discovered claim there is some sort of ancient machinery to be found along the coast north of Gloomhaven. Indications show that the place used to manufacture something in an era long past. Who knows what valuable technology there is to find buried in the ruins? You charter a small ship and head out. Sailing along the coast, you eventually find the small inlet indicated on the map. Dropping anchor, you head to the rocky shore where you see an opening in the cliff face. Not knowing what to expect, you step inside.
Scenario Special Rules
- Door (1) is locked and opens when any character occupies pressure plate (A) at the end of their turn.


Players spaw tiles are marked with a STRENGTHEN token.
Elephant Ambush, Some Numbers and SalTheBard, please let me know if you are ok with the character assignment on top and I'll send out PMs with a request for your hand and BG selection :)

EDIT: I have updated the Market Pool tab to include all the relevant info for the items (and a link to the Reddit Gloomhaven Wiki for each single item); I'll keep adding pics whenever we unlock a new prosperity level or a new item, but this should help with the admin time.

Friendly reminder that Ash cannot occupy a pressure plate, as the pressure plates are described on page 34 as:

"Pressure plates: Pressure plates function similarly to corridors, in that they have no effect on a figure’s movement. Instead, if a pressure plate is occupied by a character at the end of a turn, it may trigger a special effect specified in the scenario book, such as opening a door or spawning a monster."

and Ash is a summon, not a character.

I'm a bit surprised our filthy rat thing player didn't change any cards - I'd picked Gnawing Horde for last scenario to maybe jam the boss with but in a vacuum Feedback Loop is a better card IMO. Similarly I'd ditched Frigid Apparition due to last scenario's special rules but it's a really good card, especially with a Spellweaver you can steal Ice from under (she won't mind, I promise. Besides it's a semi-coop game and if she wanted Ice so much she should have 5 init cards shouldn't she ?! :p)
