Gloomhaven- the tale begins


It took me a little while. But months after acquiring the massive Gloomhaven, I’m finally getting this to the table. With the TowerRex insert all built, tokens and tiles all sorted, essential cards sleeved, I’m finally ready to jump in.

 
Massive massive game... You can literally workout with the box #gloomhaven
Reading and learning the rules took a full 2 days. That included watching some playthroughs on Youtube to familiarize with all that is going on in the game.

So get ready to join the Solo Bunch (that’s the party name) in this epic quest.





In the party are Brutus the Brute and Weaver the Spellweaver. From the Personal Quest cards, Brutus wants to be a Battle Legend while Weaver is actually a worshipper of Xorn. I guess Brutus just wants fame while Weaver has a secret dark side.

Starting out in the city of Gloomhaven, the two characters got ready to take on the first quest, i.e. going to the Black Barrow to catch a thief.

Before heading off, the party saw the Sanctuary of the Great Oak being constructed and decided to help. That gained them some reputation and it seems a like a good start to the campaign, although they ended up being slightly exhausted. No big deal, since it’s still the start of the adventure.
