Tonight, I join the Hunt

The other day I asked if I should buy a sealed Full Moon pledge and you, my fellow hunters, convinced me.

Wish me luck on my first hunt! Have a great weekend everyone!

Order of play

I’ve played 5 games of the chalice dungeons to learn the game. I’ve been told the core box is first and the hunters dream is last, but what about in between? What order do you usually play the expansions in?

Purchasing a new unopened Full Moon Pledge.

Greetings hunters.

I'm thinking of joining the hunt and have received an offer to buy the complete collection of Bloodborne content in their original unopened boxes.

The price, however, is the price of the original campaign - so roughly $400. Is that a reasonable price?

I own the complete collection of Dark Souls and enjoy it despite its flaws.

Best place to sell the game?

Hello, I tried to check the sub Reddit rules to see if this was inappropriate, of it is let me know and I will delete the post.

Some months back I bought all the KS and some expansion boxes unopened, had some friends hyped to play the game and I like collecting this kind of stuff.

Unfortunately my friends never really wanted to start a campaign (they do prefer ttrpgs for continued play) and as I started my PhD I haven't even had time to open it up to paint the figures.

Now, it is still unopened gathering metaphorical dust on my shelves; and I was thinking about just assume it was not a great purchase.

So, here comes my doubt, is eBay the best place to put it up for sale, or people in this sub Reddit look in other portals?

Tile Deck Question

Quick question regarding the tile deck.

When first making the deck for say, chapter 1 of the Long Hunt. Would I take out any named tiles that are NOT being used by the mission? Or should they still be included? For example, could you have the Graveyard tile show up in chapter 1?

Questions about pursuit and save progress

Hello good hunters,

me and the gang have taken a few cracks at huntin' and while overall we like the game, there are a few things that leaves us tear our hairs out in frustration (the true FromSoft experience).

Pursuit - We're uncertain whether or not enemies get an attack during pursuit. Going over the rules yet again, page 14 seems to suggests that enemies only get 1 move and nothing else. However, we were uncertain if they get an attack in on us during pursuit and then another attack during activation. See the examples below.

  • I'm on a 3 space tile on the far left, the center space has a Hunter Mob, and the right most space is empty. I play 1 stat card to move, my hunter moves 2 spaces from left to right, going through the Hunter Mob space. My movement ends. The Hunter Mob then gets their pursuit, granting them 1 movement. My hunter and the Hunter Mob now share the same space. They don't get to attack my hunter until their Activation, which is only after I'm done with my turn. Correct?

  • Same setup as above, just replace the Hunter Mob with Scourge Beast. Their card specify that they get 2 movement during pursuit and activation. Does this mean that if they catch up to the my hunter and have 1 movement left, they get a "free" attack on me during pursuit?

Save Progress - Page 25 of the rules points out that we can save our progress if we don't feel like pressing on, but on page 13 states that if we lose at the hunt, we have to start from the beginning of the campaign. Doesn't this make the so-called save mechanic redundant? Why would we save at chapter 2 if as soon as we die, we'll have to start with basic cards, lose our consumables, runes, and weapon upgrades at the very start of chapter 1? Might as well say that players have to take a campaign on in one sitting.

I get that SoulsBorne games are hard and operate on a save point mechanic (lanterns, bonefires, grace, etc). But if our understanding of the board-game rules are correct, they're the equivalent of doing a no-death run. Which isn't baked into any of the games. You lose souls, blood echoes, runes - yes. Most enemies respawn - yes. You might find yourself "thrown back" quite a lot because of the distance between the save points. But you do not lose those 5 levels you invested in stamina (or whatever). Those stat investments stay, so I'd assume that the stat CARDS also stay and that we can start at the beginning of chapter 2, since that's where we "saved".

Hope you can help us clarify these things for us. And of course, we can homerule it, but we also like to play the game as intended.

Looking for Bloodborne Board Game "Upper Cathedral Ward" Card Scans

Hi everyone,

I recently bought the Bloodborne board game but unfortunately, I'm missing the cards from the "Upper Cathedral Ward" expansion. These are quite hard to find in my country , but I would really love to experience the story from this expansion.

If anyone is willing to scan the approximately 100 cards (front and back) and send them to me digitally, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm also willing to pay for the help. Please reach out if you can assist or have any suggestions.

Thank you so much in advance!

Some questions

I'm relatively new to the game, but am loving it so far. I'm planning on playing it with some friends soon, but had some questions based on my experience of playing solo.

  1. Has anyone tried implementing a blood echo recovery mechanic, like in the video game, either by having your blood echos remain in the space you died in, or being absorbed by the enemy that killed you? If so, how well did it work? Also, when playing with a group, could you theoretically allow another player to "steal" someone's lost echoes, if they moved into the space they are in or killed the enemy that absorbed them?

  2. How do you handle distribution of rewards from missions? Do you give first dibs to the people who slew the monster(s) that gave them, or is it down to group cooperation? Also, if two people wanted a particular reward, could you let them battle it out for it? It might not be in the interests of the party or completing the chapter, but it could add a fun element of chaos.

Can I go to the hunter's dream mid-fight ?

Hello, I am playing the base version of the bloodborne boardgame. The situation is that I am in a fight with 2 enemies. I killed one, and now it's the combat turn for the other. He will 100% kill me. So is it possible that I can go to the hunter's dream while in combat to avoid the lose of my blood echoes ?

Blood moon campaign homegrown?

I've just picked up the blood moon expansion! I knew it didn't come with a campaign like most other expansions and other posts mention it's boss is for use only in the chalice dungeon expansion( which I have), but I was wondering if anyone had a homegrown campaign for the nightmare of Mensis? Just curious as all the enemies in this box are from there. It would be cool to pair with the mergos loft expansion, though I know there's no Mikolash or the brain of Mensis but I could cook something up as a substitute. Just curious if anyone already had something! If not I'll try to work something up eventually and share here if people are interested. Excited for this expansion and others as the base game and the expansions I've already tried are great!

Doubts abour rules and opinions

Hi!

I've testing a game solo in the first chapter o core game.I've found some issues. I dont know if you know about this but:

1.when you are attacking a enemies(not atacked by them) if you use a dodge card, you also apply the damage of the slot where you put the dodge?

2.there isnt a rules special about the reset of enemys and the hunter marker? I mean, when I play the party happens two things: die or I suffer many damage in one turn and I have to go to the hunters dream OR The marker avances so quicly and Its imposible to complete the chapter.....

What is your opinión guys? Do you think that I'm playing wrong? Thanks for your attention

Church Giants painted

This is the last of the minions... Down to 3 bosses after this. Can't imagine having the core box painted and done.

What do to guys think? Any suggestions? And I heard the expansions don't play as well as the core. Is that true?

Question about mission " Purging the old Yharnam" and Blood Starved Beast phase on Chapter 3

https://preview.redd.it/pw85ne3gghmd1.jpg?width=277&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd7321595b358530e79dd9073b76578b0f9d705d

Hello, I have a question about wording this card.
What does a tile without a token means? Where can you put those insight tokens, only on empty tiles or without consumable tokens and lamps or just without a consumable tokens or on any tile?

ONe more thing: When you kill 1.st phase on Blood Starved Beast in chapter 1, he enters phase 2 and it is removed from the board
Does the LAST 3RD Chapter ending boss Blood Starved Beast then starts on phase 2 aand you need to finish him off?

2 questions about turn and attacking and moving

First Lets say hunter X is going to attack the enemy in his space..can he do it like this put a card on empty slot and after the enemy attack is flipped resolve the fight(take dmg, do dmg etc) .then with second CARD in hands do A MOVE ACTION and run away..so attack him.once, resolve attacks normally and move/tp out or whatever with other cards in hands?

SECOND: rewards/caryl/consumables runes stated on hunters turn.Can you attack the enemy normally with one card then resolve attacks then use ON TURN caryl rune or reward to lets say deal more dmg since its ur turn still, does it still counts or how is it played when you have consumables and runes etc.Cause you can sometimes do alot of damage to bosses when you buff up on chapters

Rules clarification about “During Hunter Turn”

So some consumables and hunter rewards cards specify “during hunter turn” as the timing at which they can be used. I was mainly wondering if cards with that text can be used during combat, or if you have to wait until you regular “hunter turn” where you take other game actions like transforming your trick weapon and moving. 
 An example where this clarification would be relevant is the Executioner’s gloves reward card, which reads “Hunter turn: If an enemy is at 2 or less health, kill that enemy” or something along those lines. 
This is where the question came up in the game I was playing. Let’s say an enemy is at 4 health, and you are 2 health. Can you attack, for example, with a swift Quick Cut for 2 damage at 4 speed, which would deal damage before this enemy’s attack which is a 2 speed deal 2 damage, and use the executioner’s gloves to kill them before the enemy is able to deal damage, thus being able to survive. 
Any input would be helpful, and this clarification could be important for any number of in-game situations

Pursuit

Hi, if I am standing on the same space as an enemy and I use a card to move 2 spaces, during the first move the enemy follows me by 1 space. The second move will take me to a different tile. Will the enemy follow me there as well? Or does pursuit only happen once per turn? Because the enemy follows when I leave its space or when I move to a different tile.

Bloodborne the BG "Blood Frenzy" special attack clarification.

Hello everyone, I started to play this game these days and I have a doubt about the rule of the special attack of the scourge beast, the blood frenzy, on whose card, at the bottom of it, is written "If Scourge Beast is slain, Hunter must dodge or suffer 3"

Now, my question is: does this mean that I do suffer 3 damage (if I can't dodge) even if the Scourge Beast's last (before it dies) attack is a basic one or an ability? Thank you for the reply.

Where I can find more minis from this game?

I'm looking for STLs or printed version from this game or similar enough, namely I'm looking for a Scourge Beast file/mini as I want to use it as a base for a conversion, can anyone point to a good source?
Checking google didn't help much as probably those files have their names changed to avoid copyright.

ENEMY ACTIVATION PHASE QUESTION!? How many times you can react?

So basically what Iam asking, some says that when enemy activate and attack (you use strategy to end turn with 3 cards in hand) that you/HUNTER can only place one stat card on empty slot then ENEMY reveals its card and you can only react to that with dodge if you have and the combat is over? but whats with hunter's third CARD? you cannot use it? to attack again that activated ENEMY?
