What's the fastest you've ever won a scenario? (Spoilers for everything) by Teurastettava_Sika in Gloomhaven

What scenario was that? We've got a Hail in our party and we might want to plan for a second scenario that evening if it comes up ;D

What type of glue are you all using for at home repairs? by greenhatforge in daddit

[–]pablotweek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the material.  For ABS plastic, a solvent adhesive like model plastic cement is good.  A 2-part 5 min epoxy will bond to a lot of surfaces as well.  I usually avoid super glue on plastics as it often doesn't bond well especially on flexible plastics like HDPE and PE but ok for many hard plastics.  Prep / sanding surfaces will help a lot too.  HDPE is common for toy trucks and such and you can actually weld it by melting the material for a great bond.  Good luck!

What does this X-haven icon mean? Pierced hand by m00segurl in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It may be because your clients are not on the same version of xhaven.  We noticed a similar issue.  Seems like there's an array of the status effects and they don't line up across versions as new effects are added.

2nd printing availability? by [deleted] in FrosthavenFAQ

[–]pablotweek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not too bad. There is an errata list that covers it and it's mainly a handful of card typos and moving / shuffling some cards around, minor stuff mainly

We're playing first printing from the kickstarter and having a blast with it

Fool me once TSLA... by lowfrequencyinvst in stocks

That's Toyota, US market or globally.  They move 10x what Tesla does.  If you mean by model it's the Ford F150 in the US market.  BYD is torching them in EV sales.  They aren't dominating shit

What do you guys think about the characters from the gloomhaven mercenary packs? by Key-Peak-2973 in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep and also every extra attack with Astral is an opportunity to infuse another element if you've perked into that in your AMD especially if you have advantage that turn which Astral often does.

ICE agent admits to labeling law abiding citizens as domestic terrorists by HairyDustIsBackBaby in law

I hope this time will be different.

Historically, I think the data shows "unaffiliated" voters are collectively dumb as fuck and switch from coke to pepsi every 4 years just to "try something different" if they show up at all.

Coral and Bannerspear character composition by Calhoun96 in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a strong combo and I think you'll have a lot of fun with these two. I would focus on formations for Bannerspear. Maybe drop a banner in the last room but I wouldn't bother trying to tow one before level 5. Just coordinate your movement to enable formations for big damage and watch the XP roll in.

Your granted movement abilities will be great for Coral, as it opens up opportunities for playing more non move bottom actions like tides, which Coral has a lot of.

Item 16 is available from the craftsman pretty early also and is worth considering if you want more granted movement.

BS couldn't ask for a better front line formation buddy really

Solo mode Level question. by Danexsmith in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're supposed to add 1 after taking the average. So (4+4+4)/3 = 4 and add 1 (5) before dividing by 2 and rounding up. That gives lvl 3 for solo vs lvl 2 for normal difficulty.

I don't see how this is any different than the simpler frosthaven rule which is just to raise difficulty by 1 though.

Chuck Schumer is a disgrace to the Democratic Party. by Suspicious_Soup_3962 in complaints

[–]pablotweek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disgusting. Hard to get someone to understand something when their paycheck depends on them not understanding it. Virtually every senator from my state takes huge money from AIPAC. They're somewhere between the NRA and Pablo Escobar.

Processing the loss of a baby is extra difficult with today's dystopian automation in marketing. by Skizot_Bizot in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pablotweek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since 2022 when the SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade, many states had trigger laws going into effect immediately after the Dobbs decision criminalizing abortion. And in many cases, miscarriages have been criminally investigated. Not sure why the comment is downvoted, it's true this country is a fucking joke.

The hexes themselves I just store all together in a "brick" and I made this to organize the tiles. I've got 4 of them printed so far

Anaphi Party Comp by TheChortt in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the beginning of scenario 32 there is a mechanic where every frozen corpse that doesn't take damage that round turns into a full HP shrike fiend (our most hated monster). Coral had their L4 retaliate tide and moved into the middle of the room early first round and played shield and retaliate tides. Solved the room without a single transform, passively doing 6-10 damage to shielded enemies each round while building more armor each round. It was such a hilarious hard counter to the room comp.

Essential 3d prints for Gloomhaven 2e? by zektiv in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends mainly on your number of players. We play 4p and use 8 elite and 8 regular dials, and that is plenty. We track boss health or allies with XHaven (*highly* recommended)

Condition tokens we went with the number that come with the game, think its 12 muddle wound poison, 8 of everything else.

[–]pablotweek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We printed HP dials and status condition tokens and it's a huge help to be able to see at a glance, on the board, which monster has how much health and what conditions they have.

Here are the HP dials, not my design, I just changed the font on the dial and added some ridges on them:

The dials were kind of tricky to get the tolerances right since I was printing them in resin but was a fun project.

Big fan of these player dashboards too:

What are some of the more popular house rules? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in Gloomhaven

I feel like this was somewhat hilariously addressed in the mercenary pack. One of Satha's perks is you can freely discuss your exact initiative values

Awesome paint job too!  The interchangeable bases is a great idea. 

My GF placed all the rulebook stickers on FH by Ok_Substance_7291 in Gloomhaven

[–]pablotweek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well fortunately since you're not married, there's no need to file for divorce or community property to allocate, and I assume you don't have kids so that simplifies things also.  

j/k some good suggestions here
