I just bought Painted World, and it seems there are three more than one core set. Do they duplicate playable characters, with the only difference being the battlefield? Or do they not even share the same game rules, like Dark Souls, the video game 123? Btw, which expansion do you guys suggest for the first additional boss?

I saw on the Internet a way to distribute souls depending on the enemies, I made this tierlist to indicate how many souls will be obtained by defeating them, I would like your opinion, this is still in process and I only placed enemies that I have, bosses will give 8 souls in addition to their treasures.

I don't think they were there when the sale began?

is it worth it? gameplaywise know 1st edition has a few issues are these fixed in newer editions?

Yesterday I had some friends over for a game of dark souls. As we were talking while waiting for everyone to show up one of my friends mentioned that he was getting into doing stained glass as a hobby. I'm currently in the process of making a nice storage box for all on my dark souls board game stuff, so I asked if it would be possible to make a stained glass insert to go into the lid of my box. He said that it would be possible and he would be willing to help me make one. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could make? The area I have to work with is just under 18"x12".

A sinister presence stirs in the Demon Ruins. The air thickens with an oppressive dread as the first of the fiends emerges — the Smelter Demon, a grotesque embodiment of molten fury. It's fiery form illuminating the darkness, beckoning the unwary to meet their doom. A moment later, a Blue Smelter Demon appears. Cloaked in an eerie azure glow, it glides forth from the shadows, a harbinger of despair. Prepare yourself, for in their presence, hope is but a fleeting whisper.

Welcome to the Dark Souls: Board Game Challenge! These will be small challenges that will test your knowledge of the game and your luck!

https://preview.redd.it/6u7ymxu3v22e1.jpg?width=4961&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f746f5e77dab628351f52537861fa5a072ddf0d

Read the rules first:

- There will be 2 main bosses on the board at the same time: Smelter Demon and the Blue Smelter Demon. Use any available miniatures.

- Any 4x4 node board. You can print the board attached to the post.

- Place the miniatures as shown in the Challenge Diagram. The arrows show the direction of the bosses. The starting nodes are shown in red. You can place characters on any of them. Green shows the occupied places for the terrain.

- Smelter Demon has a Data Card and a Behavior Deck consisting of: 5 random starting Behavior Cards + 5 random Heat Up Cards (put them under the bottom without mixing with starting cards). This is one Behavior Deck of 10 cards.

- Blue Smelter Demon has a Data Card and a Behavior Deck consisting of 5 random Heat Up Cards. You can print additional cards, they are in the attached link.

- The Behavior Decks of both bosses flip after drawing the last card. See the rules for Heat Up below.

- 3 characters must participate in the battle.

- Distribute the stats: each character has one Tier3 stat , two Tier2 stats and one Tier1 stat

- Limit of Souls: 18. The cost of items: an Common Item is 1 soul, a Transposed Item is 2 souls, a Legendary Item is 3 souls. Items from the souls of bosses and invaders do not participate in this Challenge. You can take any items available to you from any sets. You can use any Transposed Items, even if this class is not involved in the battle. Duplicates of items other than Ember and Titanite Shards cannot be used. Note: Ember is an item and is cost 1 soul.

- One character must have items for at least 4 souls of total value.

- You can use the rules of any version with the following changes:

- 1. At the beginning of activation, the character restores 3 stamina.

- 2. Other characters cannot move during the active character's turn.

- 3. The Estus Flask can be used at any time of the game, but before the Block Roll. First you have to decide whether to use it or not, then roll the dice.

- 4. The death of a character does not end the battle. It continues until the death of the last character on the board or until the boss is defeated.

-The Blue Smelter Demon is activated first. Then, another Smelter Demon in the same activation (both take turns in the same activation).

- Heat Up: after 10 rounds, the damage from each Attack (not Push) of the Demons doubles! Hasten, weary traveler!

So. Do you have any favorite characters? Do you have invincible strategies? Have you ever wanted to have 6 dodge dice in a roll? Or do you think that only two-handed weapons are the choice of a true champion? Make any builds (remember the rules of the challenge!), share strategies, write how you were able to win and send photos! And indicate the number of deaths!

Good luck (Prepare to die)!

Boards and Cards

Which one should I buy first and why?

I want to start the Dark souls board game and get all 3 core sets but do the expansion work on the core set or the Og

What size/brand sleeves did you use for yours kf the painted World core set, and how many? I can't seem to find anything official online that isn't for the base core set.

Thanks!

Anyone has the enemy cards for the Tomb of Giants and Painted World for share? Scans or pics, or even plain text with the info, or whatever.

There seems to be so many expansions

So the text states.

''Your ✨ attacks cost -2 stamina; when you make a ✨attack you suffer 1 damage".

I assume second effect triggers even when attack costs 0 stamina.

Just wanted to double check because I think I just drove myself to the corner, I am now on a timer in a miniboss and if there's anyway out of this, other than dying that is.
