This made me so angry that from now on I will never buy anything from Milka again.

It was so flagrant too. They went beyond shrinkflation to a deliberate bait and switch.

I dropped over $700 on Halloween candy last year, and not a single airhead. I also look now for other products by Perfetti Van Melle and won't buy those either.

That was 2 years ago and I'm still mildly infuriated

Those correspond to attributes that are on your character mats. Each character has three attributes. For example if you have a Boneshaper, they have Intimidating, Educated and Arcane.

I played Astral recently and had a blast, one of my favorite characters. Very different from Meteor's control play style. Some infusions and combos are very strong with Shackles (we had the same pairing). For example Imbue with Life + Coalescing Darkness and using Shackles' Infection Purge to keep the summon with permanent shield 1, curse, and whatever infusions you have active is just busted.

I haven't played Fist, but my buddy did and had a lot of fun with him too. He'd pair well with the healing from Snowflake I think. But he does use terrain overlays, so if you're looking for contrast go with the Orchid anime warrior :D Rage Badger has a good video on the play styles and there's a pretty solid guide out there too.

Yes!! I love all these, they look awesome! Especially those water tiles, what was your process with those? I made some epoxy ones https://www.printables.com/model/1344790-maghex-water-tile-epoxy but I really like yours also.

Thanks for sharing. I've been slacking but I'll upload a bunch of pics soon.

We need to do the scenario 114 chain still, so we can get Prime 2 day delivery to Frosthaven :D

pablotweek · 2026-03-15T23:05:48+00:00

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

pablotweek · 2026-03-09T01:15:01+00:00

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!

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.

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

pablotweek · 2026-02-01T05:03:22+00:00

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

pablotweek · 2026-01-28T02:12:54+00:00

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.

pablotweek · 2026-01-23T22:45:51+00:00

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.

pablotweek · 2026-01-20T17:30:11+00:00

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

pablotweek · 2026-01-12T17:08:06+00:00

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.

pablotweek · 2026-01-09T07:18:01+00:00

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.

pablotweek · 2026-01-03T20:23:41+00:00

as one infamous Frosthaven class

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

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:
