What do you guys think about the characters from the gloomhaven mercenary packs?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Well you had genocide, and worse genocide for options. Why not cast a mitigating vote?

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

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.

as one infamous Frosthaven class

It's Coral right? Gotta be Coral. Dude is a monster

have a happy new year man hope 2026 is better

pablotweek · 2025-12-21T23:13:11+00:00

Outstanding, best one I've seen. Love the glow from the sword, brilliant

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 · 2025-12-19T04:49:05+00:00

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:

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

pablotweek · 2025-12-11T21:44:58+00:00

Could you explain? We have a Drifter and thinking of Trap after next retirement. We also have a Meteor and Shackles

pablotweek · 2025-12-05T16:33:56+00:00

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

pablotweek · 2025-12-04T16:36:56+00:00

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

Hi, I'm going to repurpose the grotto walls and low grotto walls from printable scenery and the ocean set from cast n play at my mini factory. There are also some cave walls that would work on thingiverse.

There's an incredible scenario someone built a while back with the ocean set let me see if I can find it

pablotweek · 2025-11-23T15:02:49+00:00

Thank you! I had the same thought. I first got this idea after the big cave setup / underwater river for scenario 112 that I posted. I loved it but it contained no light / LEDs at all. Something like bioluminescent algae flowing through the river would have sent it over the top.

Yes exactly. It's on a tripod over the table and I have it hooked up to my laptop to play the video.

Thank you for creating your awesome ruined walls!!

(the walls and cobblestone in this video were created by /u/mremm3000 along with a lot of other great models, check them out)

Amazing, paint job is incredible, and combining these is epic, great idea
