Digital Frosthaven Is Frosthaven Digital (and also Gloomhaven Digital) even more niche because of its price?

0 Upvotes

Wanted to get the 1.0 edition, but then I noticed the price of the game and that if I wanted to play with friends, I would have to pay SO MUCH MONEY.

Maybe regional pricing (I am Polish) is hitting hard, but comparing the games to other digital releases or even tabletop sim, it just doesn't seem that worth it.

Most people won't even finish the full game, so not only you have to spend a lot of money, but also your friends just must not like the game and can't refund it because well... each scenario takes a long while.

I understand that this is a GIANT game and pricing it as low as base root digital would be completely insane, but this high of a price must be some kind of error? I also hear that there are still desync issues and crashes, which with such a high price of entry, I would be fuming if the game was not working.

I am not a economics nerd, more of a math person combined with artistic flare and a love for TTRPGS and board games. I love both JoTL and Gloomhaven on TTS, so this seems like... such a big shock for me. I hope I am in the wrong and this is actually not that high of a price point for others.

Jaws of the Lion Hatchet feeling underwhelming in 4p JotL campaign

9 Upvotes

Title. We are on the 15th scenario, lvl 7, having had a quite successful campaign, so no complaints there.

But I'm starting to feel a bit underwhelmed with my axe throwing friend. Damage doesn't feel as good as it did, the xp gain is quite bad compared to most other players, to the point where I'm now ~20xp points behind the demo and red guard, and the breach only grows.

On the first scenarios my role was quite clear and it was well executed. Excellent damage spread, great single target nukes, I quickly understood the importance of pairing throwing range with adecuate movement to retrieve my favorite, etc.

Lately, with the monsters growing in power (and specially health) the weight of the favorite feels like it has been going down (and I've been using the new favorite for its bottom mostly), and comparing myself with my demo and red guard - they are doing huge damage, with great mobility, resilience and getting a ton of xp. Each scenario I end up. ~5xp points or more behind them, making the breach seemingly bigger each time.

I grabbed cards to get some more utility, sniping targets on their movement and using stun hammer is fun and all, but I feel underpowered, and a bit "flat".

Whats the consensus on the class? Any tips to improve for the later scenarios?

Digital Frosthaven Frosthaven digital 1.0 launch day -- Mandatory Quest, UcGXanathos21 (and others?) will be livestreaming

38 Upvotes

It's Frosthaven digital's full 1.0 launch day and the game is now live on PC! Long time streamers Mandatory Quest and UcGXanathos21 have both told me that they will be streaming today. If you hear of any others that you know do a good job, please post them in this thread and I'll add them.

Also just wanted a quick shout out to a couple other YouTubers, the first listed here just started a Let's Play of FH and seems to have a good group with a mix of experienced and newer players. Hopeium has done a great job streaming Frosthaven through early access, and I imagine will continue to make content.

And finally, if you're wondering when FH will come to Mac, console, etc. The answer is that we don't know yet. The devs have said they just want to focus on this launch and we'll see from there. So that's the answer for now if you're curious. On a personal note, as somebody who knows absolutely nothing about this, I imagine they will be highly motivated to get those things done eventually, but we'll have to see.

Happy launch day!

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Gloomhaven 2e - Looking For Custom Content Blank Attack Card

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a file for the blank attack modifier cards for 2nd Edition Gloomhaven/Frosthaven.

I am trying to make my own attack cards and need a template that I can type my own content into the blank center (See the example of one of mindtheif's perks). I am a part of the CCUG discord server, but have not had luck finding what I am looking for specifically yet (I’m new to discord and am not entirely sure how to navigate) I've found it for first edition but would prefer 2nd edition/frosthaven's format!

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Chtulhu Lvl.7 card question Spoiler

3 Upvotes

The lvl.7 card "Mass Extinction" says:

"Attack 4 Target 1 enemy at any Range that has Plague"

"Whenever this ability kills an enemy, gain 1 XP and add +2 Attack, +1 Target".

My question is: does the add Target apply for all monsters or just for those who have a Plague token.

My ruling is that it extra targets monsters with Plague since it is a single ability and the extra text refers and is bound to the specifications of the actual 1st attack.

Just looking for an official clarification. u/dwarfSA
