PROPHECY OF TELOR discussion

Is that last one a "sponsored link"? Just wanted to call that out because BoardGameGeek drew criticism for listing sponsored Amazon links without notifying people... once upon a time. You can go to Amazon and search for the item too to avoid the sponsorship (no offense). If you just want a shorter link you can rename it with the [ url=http://urlhere] title [ /url] boxes (without spaces).

I don't have a sponsorship. I just cut and paste the link Amazon gave me. Thanks

Ordered yesterday from Hasbro-Pulse-eu, I hope to have it for Xmas!

I got it as a christmas present and is a cool present but after getting it... I still think is not really worth the money. I like the dices, not a fan of the traslucent miniatures but they have some use but never liked the warlock miniatire and the red gargoly is a big meh. Best part is the Questbook with S. Baker quets after so many years.

From the companion app, another "mod" you can print for the "giant room" tile.

Thanks Virg for sharing the link on HeroQuestFans Discord!

I'm planning to play this expansion after MOTM. My group have played Core game, some random quests, Kellars Keep, ROTWL and Frozen Horror. They are fully equiped and we also play with some leveling up
Some have one extra BP or spell or some special skills.
And I've realised the quest book seems way to easy, core book level I would say.
Of course there are ways to.make it harder (more monsters...) but I'm just curioous about what you think about.

[Kurgan]

Lots of people say that the Game System (NA edition) is "too easy" (they must not be talking about the Trial). Those same people will be blown away by the 1992 expansions if played as written.

If your group was adding things to the Game System to make it more challenging, you may find yourself doing the opposite with the Elf and Barbarian packs. Playing ATOH, WOM or Dark Company with the NA rules would also be a very difficult challenge, unless you've saved up dozens of healing potions. Or you could try playing according to the EU rules (1st or 2nd edition) in which yes, most monsters have 1 BP (not the case in ATOH, and to a lesser extent WOM & Dark Company) but there are also NO death saves (in Dark Company there is one rare elixir that can bring you back with 1 BP).

But yes I think they added those "toggles" in the Companion App as a suggestion to make the quests harder for those who wish. If you use those on Frozen Horror, watch out, imagine fighting FOUR polar warbears because you triggered one of those undetectable "wandering monster traps!" (at least two such ambushes in every group quest I've found and they usually force you to go that direction). And imagine now that they also had 7 body points, and each of their attacks was 5 dice, and they defended with 4 dice. Goblins that can move attack move and skeletons that can hit diagonally are cool ideas though.

Yeah, we already played FH and my players still have nightmares with war bears. I had end doubling the healing potions in half of the quests. So I had to tone it down. MOTM is been hard but they are going through. But POT seems easier that those two ny a long distance so Ill need some tweak to make POT harder.
