We just did 103, I was trap. It's free for the Trap class, can confirm 😂

Rending Drakes are pretty insane, they hit fast and hard on every turn, and always bleed you, like a wolf on steroids.

You guys want me to feel pain. Also nerf power potions

you guys missed savaas lavaflows

Ive been avoiding this scenario because i couldn't quite understand what the rules were getting at. I wonder, after hearing you guys talk about it, if originally the scenario was more complicated, wih an advantage of some sort if the they were "higher" (like +1 range/move for each hight advantage), but it was too much and rules simplified after play testing.

I'm starting at level two with Honeypot, Boar Catcher, Caltrops, Exploding Decoy, Dismantle, Spike Pit, Improvised Improvement, Enticing Bait, and Path of Pain. When short resting, can you rank the cards to decide which to lose first? Which should I choose to lose first?

lmao you trolls. I've been telling you to increase it for about a year now.

I’m not sure if Mark has completed his mastery for kelp yet, but would attacking with the idol every round count for completion?

Is the discord link not a thing anymore? Been working through the back log and haven't seen on that still works.

Just finished SC 60 with 3 of my mates. What a great boss! Really loved this level and especially the balance between releasing permanent elements but also buffing the boss's ability by doing so.

My eldest just retired birds. I mean snow dancer. I'm also retiring at the same time and will pick it up. Just so useful.

😂

Lol we had the same issue with Bookcase Boss 😂

Nerf power potions

When you guys hit Scenario 64, it may be a good time to try the full play if you want to experiment :) But I understand the hesitation

Not sure why this popped up in my recommends so late, but it did, so here's my take. No, I didn't back DS, I bought by copy used, then acquired everything for the original sets, including all the KS-exclusive bosses (luckily got them for a very cheap price off a person on BGG). To date I've only played this RAW, 145 times. I never saw or felt the need for house rules. You said in your video that you were doing the same encounter for the fourth time. To me that sounds as either being way too cautious and grinding for gear and stats that aren't necessary or you were just incredibly unlucky with your item draws. This game has never been about grind and gearing yourself to the gills for me, it's been just get enough to see you defeat the boss, even if it means taking a boss down with something like Black Firebombs (solo run I reference below that was my weapon for beating both mini and main boss, hell, I was tempted to try and beat the mega boss with it just for the memes :D ). Black Firebombs isn't a great weapon, it's not even a good weapon but it was all I needed so what would've been the point to grind? It got the job done. I recently pulled the game back out again for two runs (and have more planned). In the solo hero run I cleared all four encounters (of which there are 31 different for each level if you have all expansions, so there is variety to the enemies you face from run to run), reset and ran them again, then took on the mini boss. Same deal for the main boss. Both of those cases, I could've reset four more times and earned 32 extra souls, so basically drawn 32 more cards, prior to mini boss, then prior to main boss. Instead I went for the boss and defeated the boss, earning only four souls. But I beat the boss so I was equipped enough to do it, plus had the luck and skill to pull it off. And each session only took about 60-75 min, that's solid enough playtime in my book, doesn't overstay its welcome. My second run was running two characters solo. This time I played through the encounters three times, still clocking in at 75 min per session. Midway through the run I was even able to switch one of the heroes from a dodge build to more of a tank build while also swapping my weapon loadout, something I could never do in Bloodborne Board Game (which I backed All-In on KS) since in that game you're stuck with whatever weapon you start with. Bloodborne actively encourages the player from getting into combat, I always refer to it as an "action economy puzzle" since the timer is far more strict and not fighting enemies seems contradictory to the whole idea of being a Hunter (and BB in general). But in it enemies are a distraction from completing the main goal. And because the tiles in BB are so small, boss fights lack all the maneuvering and positioning you get in DS, boiling down to standing next to the boss and spamming R1 until one of you drops.

You've already heard this but with a few expansions this game became a staple at our table.

I think there are harder Trials to come. We did end up trading one out, because it would have completely had our shackles have zero fun (you will likely figure out what that one is), with someone else who also finished a trial at the same time. The final reward for them is kind of fun.

It's a strange feeling to be caught up and not being able to binge watch you anymore but I will thank you for your time recording this, it was a quite entertaining journey so far and I am looking foreward for the rest of your FH adventure

Im a little more than a year into frosthaven, and am really enjoying going back and listening to this content.

Was looking foreward for this unlock, I already guessed you will might like it and am keen what you will say about them coming up

I appreciate how this video concentrated on actually strategy using the Fist, and not just talking about the cards and if they are good or bad. My friend just retired Fist, but your video makes me want to try him!

Din "a loud continued noise. especially : a welter of discordant sounds."

Having played both Shackles and Meteor was there a play style that you enjoyed more or found easier/harder to play? I get the feeling Meteor is more about managing the monsters and terrain on the board while Shackles is managing status of your character.

Just leaving a comment that I'm looking forward to this episode because of the epic scenario we also encountered recently! But I can't listen to the episode before we unlock the classes you have, so it's probably going to take a long while... Still, excited to hear about it later, whenever that is!

HELL YEAH

There is so little out there for this character so I’m glad y’all did this.

Din of battle is my boss burner card, summoners love it

Nerf power potions. Stop booing, I'm right

Will Gaz name the character Hawk Tuah? Find out next week on Dragon Ball Z!

03:20 I can't 😅🤣😅🤣 Gonna name mine "I should call her" when unlocked

Did you have a set order for cards that you lost when you long rested?

I wasn’t there for the original dark souls ks , so I won’t really comment. However I do have the newly revised sunless city core game and I am enjoying it. It’s not perfect but if one is looking for a lite campaign game which I know i sounds like an oxymoron, I think sunless city fits the bill .

I bet Snowflake and Trapper would work well together.

This was my PQ with my Blinkblade and yes.. Boss melting happend

The battle goal item you're thinking of is the Demon's Gem - you received it at the end of the outpost investigation event.

I am so excited for your group in particular to experience the Hall of Revelry. Good luck!

Gaz making fun about Detty not reading stuff was just golden

Here’s my submission for a challenge card. Bully- Enemies that have enough movement/range target the lowest health character as opposed to the closest. Tie breakers end with the slower character being targeted.

Just fyi, 0 is even

In the defense of people who listened to this when it came out, even listening to it without big breaks its kinda hard to keep track of the stuff you have unlocked bc you also try to keep it spoiler free. Like I remember you have unlocked the Hunting Lodge at this point but I can't remember you talking about stuff it unlocks, which could be to prevent spoilers or bc you didn't fully grasp the "read this when you build this" rule yet (not impossible since you talk about not unlocking the starting craftables here) Super nice Podcast btw, thanks for sharing your experiences

Power pots are busted. I think if you nerf those to Ability, 75% of the balance issues for classes disappear.

I've called my trapper Gial Ackbar 😂, just hit lvl 5 and its getting more fun than being a chore.

You honestly made me laugh out loud with that “play that same song “gag

Aloha, I am now playing the fist and reached level 5 which is a game changer because of the card recovery card. Fist definitely needs items to become more resilient because if you try to tank some times as I do then your stamina will be greatly reduced. At scenario 28 that is pretty difficult at hard difficulty, I had to lose two cards to negate damage. I managed to fulfill the scenario's objective during mhy last turn and because an enemy missed an attack EDIT: How did you achieve the 10-move? Since the ice forces you to go one up the direction. I saw you backtracked. I imagine you did that because of the perk

Ooh. I was looking forward to this video, too! I appreciate you lovely, bearded gents and the time and effort you're putting into your channel. All the best!

I tried to make the sword work too. It was always so much work for little gain. I used it for the mastery and a few missions. The bottom was worth it for a while though. It is easy XP in the end, helps stabilize health, and give an easy infusion next round. Also enhancing it with a bonus heal or even a ward/strengthen is super cheap.

It's coming along - slowly! I have so little free time, it's rough! And I was just exhausted this weekend. :)

Definitely excited to hear about how you guys pull off some sweet Astral combos. It’s only a matter of time before Detty starts blowing his load just like on Meteor. What makes astral built different from the rest of us is that the loads will just keep getting bigger. I’m playing prism right now and was also really enticed by the card that allows you to bring back two robots. I’m always playing reassemble as I’m so worried about losing my bots. When I first started I was really excited to see it was an 11 card class as I love having tons of options. I was kind of disappointed when I learned that the 11th card was locked into being burned turn one for your mode. Honestly I think the prism could use an extra card in hand but maybe that would make it too strong.

I backed the game also. And honestly, I love the core set rules. I don't think it needed to be fixed. It was a near perfect adaption of the video game into board game. The issue people have with grinding is one that exists in video games as well. It's not that it doesn't translate over well, it's that it translates over too well. The vast majority of people dislike JRPGs for example, and a reason for that is usually the grind involved in them. Now board gamers get to experience the grind, and surprise! Most people don't like it. I do agree Steamforged Games completely dropped the ball on this though, at every stage. I haven't bought from them again and I don't think I ever will. They lost my trust and as someone that isn't buying more from them, they are unlikely to be able to win it back.
