Oh man, I've been eyeing this game for a while, but I just cannot justify the price tag to myself. I'm gonna watch this closely, and hopefully not get swayed into spending money I don't have. Looks really interesting.

Alright, I'll try. I don't know anything about anything so I'm only choosing what I think is fitting and/or awesome. Mindthief: I like the TMNT reference, but surely you have to give him his full title of Master Splinter? Fall of Man sounds more interesting, and what's a tiny psychomouse going to go with a huge holy axe? Cragheart: Terror Firma for the name. God I wish he was a wrassler or luchador, that would be even more perfect. And of course I'm going to go with Goliath Toppler because what's the point of being a big burly rockman if you can't aspire to square up to even bigger things and punch 'em in the jaw? Brute: Slab Bulkhead. Just because  And Trophy Hunt! Let's add some diversity to our murder targets, and also get some nice keepsakes for the party mantlepiece. As far as the event, Option A, because let's not immediately burn our bridges.

The puppy is obviously a trap. Obviously. And the taking it back to Gloomhaven option doesn't specify we're keeping it, it seems like we just turn it loose in the streets? And yet, I am still inclined against all my better instincts, to save the puppy. I see your trap and I willingly insert my face into it. I do not care. Puppy! I will agree with Piell's item choices as well because more cards is more gooder, right? Right.

Some Numbers posted:The scenario ends at the end of the round after the objective is achieved. There's nothing in the rules that says we can't milk the last enemy for as much XP and coins as we can. Is there an actual reason for this, like some scenarios having events that trigger immediately on completion? Because the last game I played gave everyone one round after finishing for looting reasons, but that was because when maps were over, they were over, and nothing "happened" afterwards.

Apparently this isn't actually widely available out here in the UK yet and all the prices I'm seeing are imports? Which would explain a lot. So I guess I'll consider this my primer until somewhere local gets it in.

City, then Scenario 2. Difficulty to +0. I don't have any item suggestions or anything because I'm not confident enough with how to optimise yet.

Alright, this is good. I think I'm able to largely follow the flow of this game now. I'm actually considering signing up for a turn to play, if it's not too late, and you don't mind letting a total novice enter the fold. I figure I'll have three more scenarios to lurk and learn more anyway. I am trying to get a RL group together to go in on this in the meantime, but schedules among my regular friends are proving tricky this year.

No items for Splinter. Gold to Rocky, and donate. Crypt next because it has more treasure. And treasure is good. Filthy lucre, mm yes.

MVP I'm going to say Rocky, not for one single play, but for the barriers and healing. I can't imagine that ending well without those. City Event: A This is ostensibly our job, right? Can't imagine refusing a job would do our rep any good. Splinter: No idea how optimal I'm being but Ignore negative scenario effects sounds good, assuming it means ignoring stuff like those two curse cards from #2. Also remove two -1 cards for more consistent stabbing. As for card, Hostile Takeover seems like a great addition to the suite of control cards. Plus it's a fast, ranged and a reuseable XP source. Rocky: Ignore negative scenario effects on the same logic as Splinter, and Add one -2 and two +2 should be a net positive with the goggles, surely? Sentient Growth seems like it would be the most clutch. It does basically everything you'd want a card to do. Lobbing it into an ally's melee to turn the tides of bad luck seems like a pro move. Bullwinkle: I'm going to go Remove two -1 cards just to lower the probability of missing any vital kills. Consistency is key. It's a tough choice but I'll have to nominate Juggernaut because I don't think we should be relying on loss cards for single kills of mooks... Longevity seems more important. Splinter and Bullwinkle can afford to donate and I kinda wanna see what the end goal of this is. Rocky doesn't have much money, but Hide Armour doesn't cost much and made quite the difference last scenario but... I dunno. I have no foreknowledge so I don't know if there's anything better just over the horizon. Feel free to correct me.

I'm amenable to hiding behind the tank, at least on round 1. All the obstacles are in the next room apparently, it's going to be some bullshit labyrinth. 15 tiles of rocks. You're right that this looks like it could be a short one. The min-maxer in me is howling at the possible lack of opportunities to farm for XP. Does Retaliate trigger on non-direct attack damage, like splash damage, if you happen to be standing next to a monster that gets splashed, or does the monster specifically have to be targeted?

Car Hater posted:drat, I had wholly intended to facetank, had forgotten the +2 next to allies card. Might still be worth the gamble, would be funny to let the entire dungeon ride on our luck the first turn. I mean the more Retaliates you get in, the easier mopping up all the half-health doggos will be. Losing one card to damage isn't ideal, but this looks to be a short scenario, and I can bust some obstacles in the second room to get us within alpha striking range faster. I'm perfectly alright with taking a hit, even a boosted one, if it helps out. Better me than the Mindthief. Think we're okay planning a rest before charging onwards anyway, so. Regardless, my move is fairly obvious.

Tell me if I'm wrong about this, I might be. If the Brute declines to activate Provoking, he'll take 2 > 4 > 4 > 4 as Elite moves to E2, #1 to G2, #2 to D2 (and he's faster initiative than me), and #5 to H2 (where he's again, faster than the Mindthief.) He can Retaliate each of those for 2. The damage is bad but he has ALL the mitigation. I'll take 4 from #6, which is fine. And I'll give 2 HP back to the Brute. If Brute than uses his potion and moves as fast as possible again, if he can move first, a Sweeping Blow could cleave three of the half-HP ones in one shot.

Oh, whoops, someone mentioned punting it in the thread and I assumed that meant I could. Nevermind! Thankfully this is a short-looking one, so card loss and rest rounds aren't that big of a deal.

I'm planning to move up and heal, I can go with a short rest if you really want to get in there next turn. It's the last room, with one priority target with no-too-much-HP, I can spunk away cards as much as I like as long as we win.

That Italian Guy posted:I would have gone through and proceeded with the update till the door was opened in the second Round, but I don't have a card selection for MarquiseMindfang for that Round :/ I figured I wouldn't know what my card options were until I rested, so I stopped short. If you can give me a nudge with what card I'm losing I'll get you that second round selection asap.

Yeah, I'm hoping for the door to open on Turn 2 else I'm largely going to be sat around with my thumb up my rear end. I don't see a Range value or an Immobilise immunity on that boss so I'm basically planning to barrel in and kick him around like a football, terrain permitting.

DarthRoblox posted:OK, so good news is that 3/8 of the bosses actions are currently useless. The bad news is that the other 5/8 are fully powered up and scary. The normal vermlings aren't too bad since that ranged attack can't hurt you (unless you're poisoned? does it work like that?), but the damage from the elites could pile up quick with double actions. Hopefully they don't have too many move+attacks. I was also planning a jump, and a push, and I'd like to get it off because it should render him mostly nonthreatening. Plus I can hole up in a chokepoint, maybe. I'd recommend something nice and ranged this round so that unless he draws the Range card (which is pretty drat slow) he can't hit anyone on his next initiative. If we're good we can keep him locked down with Immobilises. In fact his only "dangerous" cards if he's kept immobile and not next to anyone are relatively slow so we should have time to react to whatever.
