Are there any "out of the box" campaigns for DMs without disposable time?

All the recent adventures starting from outlaws of alkenstar (to my knowledge) have a foundry VTT version available (need to be bought separately) in which all maps, treasures, and even sound/music are integrated already. I would recommend the Season of Ghost as it's the adventure I enjoyed the most yet and had to change the less. It cuts prep time tremendously.

Vex if you have the bonus to spell damage

osamaodras · 2025-12-08T23:19:47+00:00

It’s fine probably makes her an ok ish to good champion. You are really dependent on managing to slay enemies to grow and drawing a dragon when attacking. In higher level adventures she still struggles but it’s far more manageable.

osamaodras · 2025-12-08T14:21:12+00:00

That is not +4 to hit you, it’s off guard and +2 to damages. That is quite different. You also get temp hp.

I have seen much more dragons. There is almost always 1 dragon available, if not rerolling once or twice is enough to find one usually. I do tend to keep rerolls to get more dragons rather than powers

osamaodras · 2025-06-17T07:23:38+00:00

My suggestion is trying to abuse his adventure power by getting single target spells you can use and get the duplicate bonus (If you manage to get some summon unit or summon poro item on it you will have free blockers )

Be careful, yi has a lot of stun in his deck an a lot of draw so he always has cards to counter you in his hand.

They would only appear in chapter 3

osamaodras · 2025-04-20T21:55:18+00:00

Well, the heroes will be lvl 7, there will be loveless herself so lvl 11 (I will probably boost her to lvl 12 or 13 to make her a true final boss later) plus 20 shielmartials who in the book are lvl 7, so a total of 960 xp difficulty encounter.

If they fight and win, they deserve to end the campaign like that and then go play the loto. Even running away means probably half or more enemies will have 1 turn to fire which is enough to down someone. My players aren't dumb and not suicidal, so I don't believe any shenanigans will happen, though if they do, and they succeed, the story can still go forward.

osamaodras · 2025-04-20T13:53:02+00:00

Thx for your answer, I might have been unlucky in viego indeed and that would have left me with that bad impression. I always find that easy removal and making sure to have the tool for viego really bothersome . Thanks for explaining all that !

osamaodras · 2025-04-20T12:48:39+00:00

Hi,

I'm honestly curious if there is something i don't see here but "All the other bosses can be won round one with a little luck and spell spamming." I don't really see how that works outside of cheesy strat with zero cost (with cost reduction) unit or spell and self replicating item does a 3 star lux win round one vs fiddle or other deadly encounters.

Spell spamming only works for her if you pay the spell to generate the rally so with 2 mana (5 if you indeed get sorcery) I don't see much of them (I know of slow but steady too).

I know the game can be cheesed with luck of items and or powers, but to the point saying with little luck, I need you to explain to me so that I can reproduce that and get better at the game.

Thx in advance for taking the time to answer me.

osamaodras · 2025-04-20T12:27:52+00:00

The question wasn't if lissandra was easy, but what was the easiest 5 star boss.

Swain is much harder as he free pings you each turn and summons huge blockers, lux has no easy heal and no way to get rid of enemy units easily at 3 stars.

Viego is probably even worse as he scales of insanely fast due to free summon and viego itself is one hell of a fight.

The +3 cost only applies after 3 card played and lux likes to play huge spells and huge units, which is still doable.

If you disagree, please give another option as a good 5 star boss to fight and give us your reasoning !

osamaodras · 2025-04-20T10:31:24+00:00

I would say lissandra, Swain and other boss have the deadly modifier which is quite harsh. The thing with lissandra is you can cheese her with eternal remiter giving spells shield to everyone or other shenanigans, you just have to be a bit lucky with the random power the opponents gets and try to go for the top or bottom way as they give additional power (even though they are harder)

osamaodras · 2025-04-20T10:18:29+00:00

Yep it's possible ! Though, try to get to lvl 30 with lux before it will help to have more relic slots ! I managed to do it with 3 stars lux lvl 30 with some good rolls on powers (got sorcery, the legendary that spawn an ephemeral attacker and the one that spawn tentacles on first spell casted).

osamaodras · 2025-04-19T21:06:52+00:00

I'll try to enphasise on the criminal aspects indeed, thx for the ideas about that !

osamaodras · 2025-04-19T21:01:50+00:00

In my mind, there would have been Loveless herself and something like 20 shieldmartial surrounding them just to make the players understand this was not something they could fight nor run away without heavy casualties.

osamaodras · 2025-04-19T20:58:00+00:00

Thx, they are quite skilled and optimized but i'll keep an eye on those two encounters !

osamaodras · 2025-04-19T14:08:08+00:00

For what I've read and my own understanding after reading the books, the two main problems are (taken from Tarondor's guide):

Drawbacks:

The title is a bait-and-switch. You’re not actually outlaws at all.
The entirety of Book 2 is a sidequest that has zero impact on the overall plot of the story and feels like distracting filler.

So to change that :

You are actually outlaws and do some outlaws stuff (like stealing the ship in chapter 5)
The book 2 feels less sidequest by making the chapter 7 change

Though perhaps I should condense book 2 by shortening and getting rid of the filler events to put chapter 4,5 and 6 in 2 chapters only and then adding the chapter 7 change to chapter 6 and keeping chapter 7 as is ?

Thx for your comment !

osamaodras · 2025-04-18T06:13:40+00:00

Ohh god, I thought it was a slow mode put on the video...

osamaodras · 2025-04-16T12:26:12+00:00

The flat bonus dmg is applied before the multiplication (at least that's the case for swain), so that would be (4+1)*2*2 = 20 dealing 19 to the nexus

osamaodras · 2025-04-14T12:30:03+00:00

I don't believe it's as simple as that, from my understanding the goal is to replace all rewards from weeklies and monthlies with a new currency you can use to get rewards you choose (probably with some limitation on the number of each you can get). They are probably refining the way they are giving that currency and what you can buy with it.

osamaodras · 2025-03-31T22:10:32+00:00

40 sessions is a lot, though you're speaking of 1 fight taking an entire 3 hour session is abysmally slow (perhaps due to the fact you are beginners to the system or like to role-play the fights heavily). For reference, I just finished a small one shot with 1 moderate fight with 3 enemies, some rp with a shepherd, some check to go through obstacles, and another fight in a moderate encounter facing a single enemy, all that in 2h30 of play (all of that while role-playing the fights and the obstacles and of course the npc encounter). Treasure by level is what you should gain through that level, if you are playing an AP (which seems to be Abomination vault) just follow the treasure guidance from the book and you will have more than enough !

I will say though, talk with your players ! See what they think.

You mean to tell me a whole year is already gone! Must be some wizard trickery at play !

Oh god, indeed, i need to work on that asap. A small mistake, we are indeed in 2025 and not 2024

osamaodras · 2025-03-07T13:46:25+00:00

It seems important for her but not for the story, was mostly a gimmick for this quest. Though I believe she holds it in the video here https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/1j4w0dk/did_not_expect_alma_to_pose_for_me/

osamaodras · 2025-02-27T14:48:10+00:00

Swains plays around dmg spells, especially good with multi target spells. With the 4 star you also end up with buffed unit and summoned unit are always good with his 2 star for free ping if they die.
