JOTL after Gloomhaven 2e?
~15 scenarios in to Gloomhaven 2nd ed; love it. Playing 4-handed with a group of 40s(ish) blokes and my 16yo. Wondering whether it is worth getting JOTL for after that is finished (or just for sneaky 2-handed between-session play with just my 16yo), or is it going to feel too brief / too hand-holding for initial scenarios / confusing with 1e-based rules? edit to clarify - gloomhaven 2e is my group's first Haven game submitted by /u/johnthestats [link] [comments]
I’ve never actually shouted no before (vague city event spoiler)
I was about to complete one of those money related personal quests when we got a city event where we had to choose to pay some money or not pay some money. Another character was retiring and I had like 33 more than I needed so we chose to pay the money. Imagine my shock when I lost half my gold or 99 pieces to be exact I think that physically hurt. I was shocked. Seems I won’t be retiring for a while after all. Anyone ever lose more than that? submitted by /u/BoudreausBoudreau [link] [comments]
Looking for a Gloomhaven Setting Guide
I was gifted the Gloomhaven 1st Edition box some time ago, and was eager to play it. However, I did not enjoy a tactical card game, and decided I would convert it into a setting for Pathfinder 2e (D&D stuff). However, I seem to be missing a setting guide, or it did not come with on. I have tried looking for one online, but have so far been unsuccessful. If there is a setting guide, fan made or official, I would be very thankful to be directed to it.
Digital version on Switch worth it?
Hey all, I’m looking into playing digital GH (I have the physical but I struggle to get a regular group of people to play, and solo play can be hard to maintain alone), but my only console right now is the OG Switch. I’ve been burned before with big games running poorly on Nintendo, so I’m just looking for some opinions on whether it’s worth buying and if it runs well etc. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/ELOUlSE [link] [comments]
Frosthaven starter class tips -- the article that this community helped write!
While many of you are not really the audience for this article, I do want to thank everyone who helped give tips and ideas for the starter classes when I asked for your help a while back. I tried to include as many comments from as many people as possible in the article. If you see any mistakes let me know so we can get them fixed! (I am not a good editor)
Gloomhaven Conquests 2025 on Frosthaven
I just ordered the 4PQs together with the mercenary pack. I just noticed the back of the PQ cards and realized they are meant for Gloomhaven only. Silly me, because they are comming out at same time as merc pack i thought they were adaptable to all games. Anyway.. Any issue integrating them to Frosthaven? Other than when u shuffle and choose PQs u cant look at the back of the cards?
Music Note level 3 card choice (Music Note spoilers)
Thanks to decent prosperity and an experience windfall, I find myself leveling Music Note to level 3 while having played her only twice. At level 2 I clearly preferred Onward to Battle of Soothing Lullaby (Heal is too situational, and the bottom action looked complicated.) But for levels 3 to 6, I badly want both cards (well done, Gripeaway and Themris).
What are these tokens for?
I've got the box after our last game and I'm trying to organise all the parts better because setup is always hampered by finding bits Anyway, I realised I've never seen us use these. Google image implies the black ones are general objective markers for maps that might need them but the red ones weren't coming up at all. I can't see either in the manual anywhere too.

Our Frosthaven Starting Party Painted!
Our starting party for Frosthaven! From left to right we have Lyra (Deathwalker), Bobby (Bannerspear), The All-Star (Drifter) and Mr Stabby + Mr Shooty (Geminate). I tried to stay close to the official reference art for the characters (included for comparison), and I think they came out okay on the whole. The base rims are coloured to match the colour of the characters' cards.
