Another day, another boss. Hello, I'm back with another boss looking for some feedback and advice. Five Behaviour deck cards, this Mini-boss is not able to move. On the illuminated central node north there's the Gold-Hemmed Black Robes card item and, if picked up (spending one action), will trigger the heat-up state of the boss and instantly play the Overreaching Slam card, and then shuffle the Behaviour deck card. If a player targeted by the Overreaching Slam attack is on one of the three front node right next to the boss and manages to dodge it (requires 3 dodge), the boss will fall and remain clinging to the cliff. In that case, if the players manage to deal to him 10 damages at least before his next activation, the boss will fall to his death and be defeated.
Players cannot move inside the miniboss node and need at least range 1 weapons in order to attack it.
The Lava Spit attack selects only one of the three lines showed in the image, depending on the position of the target attacked.
The Sweeping Fire attack is an anomaly, since it deals both 4 physical damage and 2 magical damage in a single instance and it's marked as Aoe since if possible always targets the node with the most number of players inside (this first part of the attack can be dodged). The push will always try to move you towards the external nodes, since all the players that end up in one of the nodes shown in the image will suffer 2 damages (undodgeable) due to the raised lava that falls on the cliff.

As always any feedback will be truly appreciated. I need to playtest and balance this yet.
Dont you dare go hollow, fellas!

Hi everyone!
After my first post with the guide about the full Dark souls 1 Campaign Mode, I am now trying to come up with the few bosses and mini-bosses that are still missing. I was hoping to get some feedback since I will not be able to playtest this any time soon. The boss will be often flying and all the attack with range less than 2 will automatically fail. The behaviour mechanics are inspired by Kalameet, with the Bombardment Deck aswell, that must be composed by all the Bombardment cards and set aside along with the Pulse Explosion Card.
When the boss performs the Rest action, which is drawn by the Behaviour deck (4 cards total), you will then put the Pulse Explosion Card in the Behaviour Deck. When the Pulse is drawn, you will draw 1 card from the Bombardment deck and perform that attack on all nodes marked. Also, when the boss goes in heat-up mode (below half HP) you will immediately draw and activate another Bombardment card.
The Rest Action will always bring the boss in one of the two only nodes that are actually on the bridge (top-right and bottom-left) and basically waste a turn, but during this time players may attack it even with melee weapons with range minimum 1. Player may never enter boss nodes, which are marked with the black and red skull circle.
The entrance is marked in the central bottom node (you arrive from south).
It's my first attempt at this and my first custom boss, so please be kind, xD.
Any tip or feedback will be truly appreciated.

I'm also working on Ceaseless Discharge and Centipede Demon, but they are still not ready yet.

Hi all, I’m trying to order some custom cards using the templates from the google drive but most of the images are not fitting on the American mini sized cards, do I need to adjust the images or am I doing something wrong? Also it is saying low image quality.

These where a lot of fun.
A bit dark maybe, but still satisfied with the results.

Hey there, I have the Italian, French, Spanish, and German cards from the V1 Base game + some expansions available if anyone wants them. Just shoot me a message and I would be happy to get them to someone who could use them.

It’s been 3 months — now it’s finally time to open The Lands Between for community playtesting on Tabletop Simulator.

For anyone new to the project: The Lands Between is essentially a modded evolution of Dark Souls: The Board Game. It keeps the same visual grammar, node-based combat, behavior cards, attack dice, equipment structure, and boss combat we love — but builds much more on top of it.

Exploration outside of combat, Sites of Grace extraction, roaming World Bosses, new enemy behaviors, shared SP/Poise and poise breaks, expanded progression, Ashes of War, Power Stance, merchants, regional treasure, and a much larger campaign structure are all part of it.

Now I need people to actually play it starting after October 12th.

I’m looking for feedback on balance, encounter pacing, progression, rules clarity, and most importantly whether the new systems are actually fun at the table.

If you volunteered on my post about 3 months ago, you do not need to comment again — I still have you down.

If you haven’t and want to join the TTS playtest, comment below and I’ll add you.

Time to see what breaks.

So happy how they turned out with the tough resin that I have to share them with you.

DMs are open regarding the STLs 🤫

hey yall i was wondering if anyone wanted to play some of the DSBG on tabletop simulator with me im like brand new to it and thought playing with some ppl would make it more fun

I decided I needed more enemy variety for our 4-player mega campaign from DS1-DS3, bc I wanted to play chronologically as much as possible and also bosses that are missing in the OG expansions. Here is a quick look at some minis.

Still missing the new core sets and kickstarters but I can wait for that until we beat all of the megabosses I currently have.

Hi everyone !
I plan to play with 5 people soon. I will manage the game as a GM because I am the only one who played the it and wanted to share it to friends.

I have base game, DR, IK, Characters, Phantoms/Invaders, Explorers, Gaping dragon expansions. So no problem with finding a 5th class.

I already have a few set of house rules prepared, played almost 20-30 games of it, mostly with DS1 and DS3 themes.

I’m looking for any tips from people who did 5 players games to better balance monsters and characters ?

Seen a few posts on this subject but did not get a y answers on it..

Thank you for giving any tips, advice or thoughts on it !

I managed to snag the OG DS board game, Black dragon kalameet expansion, gaping dragon expansion, and darkroot expansion.
Purchased Iron keep Characters, phantoms and explorers as well.

if I wanted an "updated" rule set box so I can reference that rulebook instead of my original rulebook, is Painted world worth it?
Does it even cross play with these older sets?

Tal vez no es lo mejor pero así lo tengo todo para jugar rápidamente en el core set que quiera jugar, y con la posibilidad de usar cualquier personaje con las cartas completas de los diferentes mazos, pero honestamente me gustaría que todas esas cajitas de plástico o la mayoría estén bien organizadas en alguna caja o sitio. Alguna idea que no sea muy costosa?

Hey everyone!

I recently got into the Dark Souls: The Board Game and I'm really enjoying it. I'm thinking about picking up some expansions, but there are quite a few to choose from and I don't want to spend money on ones that aren't really worth it.

For those of you who have played several of the expansions:

• Which ones would you say are must-haves?
• Which ones add the most interesting enemies, bosses, encounters, or mechanics?
• Are there any expansions you'd recommend skipping?
• If you could only buy 2–3 expansions, which ones would you pick?

I really like miniatures, I'm a Warhammer player, so i appreciate more the expansions that includes more classes and miniatures.

Thanks!

Hi everybody,

i am on my quest to paint all the mini of the dark souls board game. But i am really new to the hobby, so i struggle naturally with some basics.
I am painting the hollow crossbow man, but feel like i am not putting the highlights on the right places and also my cloth doesnt look like fabric. I am using standard layering – so putting like 5-7 different color values from shadow to highlight.

i would love to see some of your painted crossbowman, so i can compare and learn what i did wrong. Would be super nice if some of you could show their minis with some word how they achieved the results.

Thank you for reading!

DSBG-Shuffle, both the older desktop version and the new web version, have been updated.

The desktop version was mostly bug fixes and a couple attempts at performance improvements (I didn't notice much, but my PC is getting into potato territory at this point). Find the newest release here: https://github.com/DanDuhon/DSBG-Shuffle/releases/tag/v1.7.5

Barring additional bug fixes or new content, the desktop version is probably considered done at this point.

The web version is finally usable. Loads of bugs have been fixed, migrated to a new account auth scheme, lots of performance tuning here. The local/Docker version is even faster than the desktop version in some cases, and the web version isn't bad either.

Local/Docker version: https://github.com/DanDuhon/DSBG-Shuffle-streamlit#self-hosting

Web version: https://dsbg-shuffle.streamlit.app/

As always, please let me know if you find issues, have requests, or want to see specific custom content added!

I'd like to get the Darkroot expansion, preferably new, or used in perfect condition, with a guarantee that it will be shipped to me. I live in Poland. I really want this DLC because it's the only thing I'm missing, besides the mega bosses.

4 years Back in time there was a costume Arschdragon Peak expansions with a lot of enemys and nameless King Megaboss. Does Somebody know where to find the stls for them? The old links arent functioning anymore....

I read the extensive guide in this subreddit, but I still have doubts on whether I should buy the original game or sunless city. I own nothing, but I plan on buying some expansions I like (including Ariamis, which I know to be a v2 core set). I'm more prone to buying the original game (more content), but is it that tedious? Can I play with the updated ruleset and is it actually more fun? Is it possible to mix and match without too much trouble between old sets and new ones, or should I forget v1 even existed and start with the new core sets for ease of use?
Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions with obvious answers but I am losing my mind.

I've been working on my V2-style Irithyll set for.. quite some time. And now, there's a Tabletop Simulator mod for it! Here's what's there:

• 8 new enemies: Cathedral Evangelist, Fire Witch, Irithyllian Assassin Slave, Irithyllian Beast-Hound, Irithyllian Sorcerer Slave, Irithyllian Warrior Slave, Pontiff Knight, Sewer Centipede.
• 2 new bosses: Sulyvahn's Beast mini boss and Pontiff Sulyvahn main boss.
• 27 normal encounters, 9 for each level 1-3.
• 6 "shortcut" encounters, 2 for each level 1-3. You get these by completing a Trial on certain encounters. Completing the Trial unlocks a harder shortcut version of the same encounter with increased rewards.
• 4 new boss treasure cards.
• Scripted campaign setup: automated character, campaign dashboard, treasure deck, event deck setup.
• Scripted encounter setup: tiles, enemies, and terrain automatically set up.
• An optional display window that shows, for the current encounter, the objective, rewards, ongoing effects, Timer-based triggers, etc.

Not everything has been thoroughly tested yet, though I'm pretty confident about the level 1 encounters and most of the level 2s. Having a fully functional TTS mod will also help me test and tweak, but I'm very open to feedback from the community!

TTS Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3781253928

For the print-and-play crowd, everything is available on Google Drive. The set requires either The Sunless City or the V1 core set + Explorers to play (the mod uses the tiles from Painted World, simply because of the snow). https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pI6WzBC1x1hCcmdvmByXMZCwFfaaDNUI?usp=sharing

Going to be playing everything eventually (however long that takes), so shrink wrap's coming off every little box.

Started with the Dark Souls Board Game V1 core after an Amazon Christmas season purchase in 2018, then bought the two cores for the DS and BB card games during the next year's Amazon Cyber Monday sale. Played all three of those core games only about once or twice each, then completely and utterly forgot about them after I left for college.

In the meanwhile, never bought expansions for anything, nor anything related to the Bloodborne Board Game.

Then I returned from college, looked through my old stuff, and finally remembered that Soulsbourne Board Games existed. Did some preliminary research online and was glad to hear they made expansions for everything while I was gone.

So I thought: "Might as well go collect everything. Might be expensive though - probably going to have to spend like $1000 for everything."

Yeah, I was wrong.
