She's good, but with 2 characters you don't really need a dedicated support character. I'm also thinking about ordering that broken token organizer, anyone actually have it? Does it help setup time a lot?ĭon't pick the Tinkerer unless you have 3+ people. I'm also kind of planning on running two 2p campaigns at once, has anyone tried that and had it go horribly wrong? My worry is just that one party will get to do all the cool stuff and the other party will be sad. Any advice about character selection for two players? Yeah checking the rulebook random scenarios are by definition casual play, so while you can get gold/XP from them you can't contribute to the campaign, which includes my copy in yesterday, first play tomorrow night with my girlfriend, I am the hype. One donation per character per scenario is the rule, and I'm not sure you actually can before random/casual ones. Quick edit: actually, wait, with a party of 3 that is sort of impossible, yeah. You'd have to skip buying some items with your starting cash, but it's doable. Maybe random scenarios? That’s the only way I can think it would work.Ĥ times before the first one, 4 times before the second one, and now they're done with that they can donate again. How did you manage to donate 10 times in two scenarios? I mean just earning the amount of money required would be a problem in the first two scenarios but i think you can only donate once per scenario, so 4x2 = 8. So, thanks to some fantastic luck, we finished the 2nd scenario.īack at Gloomhaven we finish donating 100gp, and get to do that envelope. The Tinkerer follows up with a ink bomb, and HE draws a x2 card, killing the boss on turn 3, before he gets to act. This gets doubled because of my invisibility card, then because I activated my Goggles, I get advantage and draw a x2 card, that’s 16 damage, and to top it off I’ve used my poison dagger.

Turn three I attack with a Attack 4 card.

The Cragheart follows and catches the Boss and a fair few minions in a dust tornado. We mostly clear the first room in the first turn, so 2nd turn I kick in the door, run in, and promptly become invisible.
