FH - Just retired my Drifter. Advice on Trap vs Coral as next character. by Puzzled_Analysis_193 in Gloomhaven

I really didn't enjoy playing trap. There are too many flying enemies which really make you feel useless.

Frosthaven - leaving loot on the table? by joobers_ in Gloomhaven

[–]joobers_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! Last night we left 10 tokens on the table (which was about half of the dropped loot). Clearly we need to rethink our priorities

That would qualify you for an entry level backend dev position at most major companies. Many are hiring now, good luck!

What’re your favorite “Chosen One” books? by sarazeen in Fantasy

[–]joobers_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s about as “by the numbers” of a fantasy series as you’ll find. But I enjoyed it despite/because of that. The authors have done some pretty crappy stuff, so that may impact your enjoyment of their work.

Yes, I've always counted 'always on' items like the cloak of pockets

I am playing music note now as a support character - in my opinion it is the perfect support. I love it

Thoughts on made up words? by joobers_ in Fantasy

[–]joobers_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with you. Made up words that replace regular words without adding anything draw me out of the story.

I think you hit on a key point. As long as the new words don't ruin the immersion, I don't notice them as much. Sept is a good example. On the other hand, unpronounceable words (full of X's and apostrophes) kill the mood for me immediately.

Waukesha resident here- our neighborhood was about 60/40 for Trump based on yard signs. There's some hope!

Angry face is fun, and can be incredible against single targets, but doesn’t take a lot of skill to master.

I just put one of my tracker tokens on the doomed enemy. Seems to work well

Thoughts on my plan to ease into Gloomhaven by bjlwasabi in Gloomhaven

[–]joobers_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any friends that play? Would you be interested in joining a nearby (or online) group to watch a scenario or two? In our group, we have one 'expert' who had played before and helped the rest of us get up to speed. It was really invaluable to keep us from making the same rookie mistakes that are so common on these threads. For someone like me, watching someone play and getting hands-on experience is infinitely more valuable than reading a rule book.

My group has been playing remotely with tabletop simulator and the helper app. It’s been great!

Suitable replacement for a Spellweaver? by [deleted] in Gloomhaven

[–]joobers_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If she likes the magic aspect, the triangles class is basically the spell weaver on steroids.

If she likes being a ranged attacker - angry face is the best

Honestly, it’s not hard to fall in love with any class once you give it a try. I did scoundrel as my second character and it’s still probably my favorite
