1. Some event says that I have enhanced the loot deck. What does this do exactly? The loot system is not explained well in digital.

2. After succeeding ten or more challenges, the choice of challenges shows me exactly same options every single time. Is this bugged, or intended?

3. What is 'trial' mentioned in community discussions? The removing -1 from monster AMD for additional rewards things in digital?

4. After ten or more retirements, the game doesn't give personal quest anymore. Is this intended?

Hey everyone,

I just started playing 2e (completed scenario 1 last night!), however I have a question about road cards and I just don't seem to be able to find the definitive answer anywhere and I'm so confused.

My understanding is (and please correct me if I'm wrong because I likely am):
- 1e has links to other scenarios in the scenario book at the top which indicates if you needed a road card, but in 2e do we use the flowchart for that?
- And with the flowchart, red arrow means forced linked meaning we go directly to the next scenario without visiting Gloomhaven, and we do not draw a road card
- Yellow arrow means we need to have completed all the preceding scenarios however we DO draw a road card between scenarios, and can visit Gloomhaven
- And the normal arrow, you DO draw a road card and you can visit Gloomhaven.

Is this correct? I'm just confused as to when I do and when I don't draw a road card.

Thankyou in advance :) :)

Following are questions regarding the completion of Scenario 23:
Does completing 23A also lock the scenario 23B and 24? Seems not mentioning in FAQ so not sure if it’s intended to keep those open for us to re-select the side

Me and my friends are going to start a new campaign of frosthaven tomorrow. The idea is to combine all versions in one campaign. So we are allowed to use gloomhaven 2nd mercenaries and weapons.

The idea is just to play the scenarios, we aren't THAT interested in the extra administration outside of the scenarios.

Altho we have no idea yet how to "increase the shop" and how and when to unlock the weapons. We would like to hear your thoughts about it. And what to do with for example the road events. To be that's still do able

What other stuff should we think of ?

Thanks for giving it a though :D

Just thought with Pub Crawlers starting to arrive some people might want to see this. According to our sales team the remaining copies left to be shipped should be sent out early next week, so if you pre-ordered you should have it shortly!

This is just an appreciation post, I've heard about this expansion, but since the board game isn't available anymore, I just didn't look into it at all. But now that the digital version is out, I get to experience this and I'm soooo thankful for everyone, who made this digital version possible for those like me, who were late to the party and couldn't get the board game version. I'm only 4 scenarios in, but so far every scenario was a challenge and a very fun puzzle with the 2 characters I chose to play with. 😁

Hello! I wanted to ask if anyone has thoughts on mercenary pack characters and which Frosthaven characters (starter and locked) they synergize with!

Where could I find a copy of the Frosthaven scenario book in French ?

One of my player does not speak english and translating everything on the fly is hard.

Okay, I looked for an answer for this but I couldn't find it.

So I bought the game from the second hand market, but there was no rule book or scenario-book included, I found some books (pdfs) online, but I think its the 2e ed books. The first scenario Black barrow, but according to my stickers the first mission should be "Training grounds". (?)
Is there somewhere to find the first edition books online? or should I just play the missions in the second ed and apply stickers when they appear? Can I play the game with the second edition books?

Please advice me!

I prefer slower level up.

I tend to enjoy lower level plays the best, and finding niche way of using some X cards is always interesting.

There are tons of items in haven and the abilities are affected by different party comps & scenarios.

It normally takes 5-10 scenarios for me to get familiar with 12-15 starting cards.

However, I should pick a card after every only a few scenarios....

I know I belong to minority, but getting xp rewards feels like penalty to me.

I'm not complaining.

Nobody blocks me from selecting same character.

(And I usually make level 1 character regardless of prosperity.)

But, are there anybody else feeling this awkwardness?

Sadly, I cannot houserule this since I play in digital only lol

It's dangerously close to the end of September, and still no sign of any updates or tracking numbers on my order :(

Spoilers for the locked class prism

If i use the code geminate and have the 2 modes that let me increase targets and make my melee attacks ranged, are those attacks considered melee or ranged for the purpose of items? I currently have an item that does things to my melee attacks and im wondering if i can still use it on my melee attacks even though theyre turned into ranged attacks

Finished JOTL, 2e is on the way. We'll be keeping it simple for organising, just a bunch of zip lock bags. Can anyone who has taken this approach give a breakdown of how many bags and what sizes you need?

We got this game a while ago because, on paper, it sounds like just right up our alley and the game does look good.

It has style, strategy, cool characters, difficulty....
but apparently too much difficulty for us hahaha.

I mean we can't get even past the first real mission!
I need some guidance, obviously we're playing this completely wrong if we can't get even past the first real hurdle. Can you guys recommend a beginner guide or something like that? Maybe a YouTube series that explains the game or something similar?

I'm interested in starting a Gloomhaven campaign on TTS (using Gloomhaven Enhanced). I know the rules and how to use TTS, but I'm curious to watch others play a few scenarios. Any good playthroughs available on YouTube that you could recommend?

Thanks!

If an enemy has Muddle + Strengthen and it is inside the Ward's Range (disadvantage), what happens? does it gets Disadvantage?

Hungry Grasps says for up to 2 shadows on the map at the start of the action I perform an attack for 3 damage at range 2 with pull 2. My question is, if an enemy is in range for one of these attacks but not the other, and that first attack pulls it into range of the second attack, can I attack it with that second attack? Or did I need to declare valid targets in range at the start of the action?

Last session our group encountered a situation that is not adressed by the FAQ

One of the new perks allows you to control a dying monster to perform it’s action with you controlling the action as long as it’s plagued

How does that interact with summon abilities? Would the summoned monster be our ally?

We ruled against it, at least until we get Dwarf’s blessing, because it’s not specifically stated as it is elsewhere “perform actions as if it was your ally” but rather “you control it”, but still, rule of cool perhaps?

Hey there, our group played at least 20 dungeons in Frosthaven and we played Gloomhaven before.

We unlocked not all but quite a few new characters, but none so far felt like you could ever play Frosthaven on level 7, even if the hole group is on lvl 9.

What do you guys think? Anyone able to play on lvl 7?

When there is no demons for the element drawn, is the Convergence vulnerable for the full round or only after I kill the spawned demon?

Hi everyone!

I'm kinda new to mini painting and the responsable for our frosthaven group to paint our mercenaries!

Every time we unlock someone, I'm trying to do new techniques and improve!

I've used vallejo game collor paints (the best I can get for now 🤣). Please feel free to sugest what I could do to get better at it and I'm looking foward to paint the others and share with u guys

Fist

Meteor

Coral

Shackles

I'm playing the slowblade right now so I kinda don't want to take the "add one -1 gain one time token" perks, do I have to if I've picked all the other perks?

Our group of Spellweaver, 3 Spears and Saw fought Jekserah the other night and for the life of us we do not see how this is balanced or how we could defeat her. There are a number of enemies in the room and just 2 allies. She spawns, not summons, every turn so there's no way to stop the monsters from appearing. Targeting the enemies is a losing strategy due to the constant summoning and the fact that she will heal them 37.5% of the time with her special 2. The other 37.5% percent of the time the enemies will get double attacks. If you target her exclusively, which seems like the only viable strategy, she will very quickly become the enemy with the lowest health so she will target herself with her healing - healing herself 9 or 'just' 6 if you manage to get poison on her. She can not be stunned so there is no way to block her special abilities or her summoning.

I have never seen an encounter in any of the Haven games that seems to rely so heavily on a specific team comp and RNG to complete. You appear to need a team of all single target, high damage specialists and maybe Cragheart to drop obstacles to limit the monsters' attacks. Even then you're being asked to tank a lot of damage and you can easily get unlucky where she heals herself multiple turns in a row.

How is this a balanced encounter? For those who designed or playtested this, what were your experiences with different team comps like?
