Quote from: Darth Wagtaros on January 03, 2025, 11:08:45 AMSo are Frosthaven, et al addons or expansions to Gloomhaven that are integrated with it or completely separate games?

- Forgotten Circles is an addon to the base game, and extra short campaign to play after the main one, with one extra class.
- Jaws of the Lion is a standalone game, it's a short campaign with four classes.
- Frosthaven is a  big box standalone game, same scope as the original Gloomhaven.

You can use the classes, etc... from Jaws in the main game. Frosthaven technically you can - mechanics are the same -  but the developer doesn't recommend it since he changed the design philosophy - now he's gone back and is releasing a new edition of Gloomhaven to reflect these new ideas.

There is a Gloomhaven 2nd edition coming out soon, the biggest change is that they redid a lot of the characters, since some didn't work as well (especially when compared to the later designs). Really great game. There is also a Gloomhaven RPG being released soon.

Hey, what was the name of that space-race themed game we tried to run on Discord years ago? I'm on a space lark these days and the little we managed to play I quite loved it. I may try to find a copy.

Thanks! I'll comb my local stores to see if I'm lucky. Buying direct has pretty steep shipping.

Located a few stores that carry it over here (according to their digital storefronts at least). I'll nab it next time I head downtown :)
