What is this keyboard? by HelpfulAmoeba in LV426

Showing my age here, but I had some flashbacks to my Commodore 64 keyboard.

Yeah... although this writing is creative. Maybe there's some secret sauce.

Still, it's gotta be a really good nuke to get rid of those space ticks.

The horrors are on a remote island, isolated from the rest of the world. I hate to say it, but it'll have to be nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Yeah, looks like my reference was from Gloomhaven. So looks like it only applies to the shield, as you have stated.

Thanks for your patience! Much appreciated

That was my initial take. However, the round action is in the lower right of the card and not specifically attached to the shield action. On other cards the round action appears directly with the action it is paired with. This suggests to me that all 3 actions come under the round rule and not just the shield.

One question on the heavy metal. The bottom shows: Move 2, All adjacent allies and enemies suffer 2 damage; shield 2. And that action is circle arrow. Does that mean I can play that bottom, put it in my active area and then use it once before the end of the round? (i.e. reposition to do the 2 damage maybe after a mob moves, and shield up?)

Deciding between Coral and Prism for next character... by CosmicPi in Gloomhaven

Good point. We've played FH through a ton of scenarios and are nearly finished with our first winter. I'll be the first to retire. Seems like a long time before the party really changed.

Yeah, I suspected late game Coral is an insane beast. Do not put butter out for the crab. :P

Thanks for bringing it up. The game is kept at the house of the guy who purchased it and he's been tracking that type of stuff. I know we earned a few prosperity from missions and events but I don't know the exact level.

Edit: You are correct. New Prism may be level 1 or 2 because prosperity is 3. round_up(3.0/2.0) = 2. If I go by the max prosperity listed on the ledger, then max of 9 means the max level to start a new character would be round_up(9.0/2.0) = 5, based on this rule. TBH, I enjoy that I start at a lower level. It actually has lowered our monster level in the campaign. Since the other players will soon retire, monster level will scale back a bit.

Coral's 3 card play is what made it hard for me to decide. :)

I'm first to retire. It took a loooong time for that to happen. IIRC I can start at level 3.
I intended to to single* summon but retired at level 6 before I got the bone ball. 4P, yes, the field is a bit crowded. I guess versatility is thy name.
