If there are any Bloodborne Board Game expansions you still want, now is likely the time to get them. Find them right here.
I tried to recreate some of the messenger outfits from the game using green stuff.
Howdy y'all. I recently picked up the base game for a steal of a price, and was surprised and thrilled at the campaigns' existence and structure; so much more variety than I thought! I have Hunter's Dream on the way for the various and many things it adds to any game, but am wondering: which campaigns across the base game or any of the expansions have you had the most fun with, and why? Started The Long Hunt with my partner and a friend and had a great, albiet chaotic, blast! Wondering what other folks think of any and all existing campaigns.
Hello! I posted a while back seeing if anyone else had done a nightmare of Mensis homebrew and couldn't find anything. After a long while I'm finally able to put some time into it. Here's a link to my google doc on it if people are interested! Currently finishing Chapter 2, cliff notes are in the doc of my outline for the whole thing, making small edits / reworks as I go. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vt1Iv9-LHqS8dFFBqOfRb8e0bPy2zIo1mgTae-a7AsI/edit?usp=sharing I will update when it's complete! Heads up but it does require pieces from a few different expansions(list in google doc), so this is only for the goobers like me who own so many for this delightful game!
Update: It's complete!
I have it all in a workable state all the way through to the end of chapter 3. It's still in an ugly format, and needs some polish for sure, as well as some proof reading but for anyone wanting to check it out, there you go! Any feedback is appreciated. I will update again once I've got it looking pretty and polished
Update 2: It's very Complete! It's all sorted out and in an easy to understand format. all 3 chapters and bosses with side quests for each chapter! There is a listed google doc with all cards in order, a newer format of the same thing my Fiance is in the process of drafting for me, and a printable format that can be printed on 15 standard sheets of paper easily! .Feel free to try it out and if you have any feedback let me know. I plan to do a play test myself in the next week or 2 :)
Hi, bought the game a few weeks ago and giving it a try lately. I got some quick questions regarding the bloodmoon, campaign progress and saving
I know enemies respawn and go back to full health. But does this also apply to enemies/bosses you're currently in combat with? Do they just go to full health or teleport away back to spawn if hitting a blood moon during combat?
Does the chapter end as soon as you uncover the card that says that the hunt/chapter is finished or can you grind out a few more enemies/blood echos to get a few more upgrades?
If you finish the chapter woth some blood echoes on hand, can you upgrade between chapters?
Do you gain any further upgrades for completing a chapter or only ones for killing enemies?
How many insight tokens do you gain for an insight mission? Just one or does it scale with the number of players?
Regarding saving, i know you simply keep any upgrade cards, consumables and whatever else you gain during the chapter. Though are upgrades gained during a campaign saved for other campaigns too or is everything fully reset when playing a different campaign? Same for if losing a campaign, do you lose all your progress and reset to the basic deck?
Hello, fellow hunters. Bough the main game not so long ago and we tried to play first scenario and have some questions.
First thing first, how the hell did you suppose to beat Cleric Beast, when it’s have 44 total hp and usually it comes out at the end of the hunt? We did beat it and complete the mission on 2 part, but on last one it was nearly impossible, since it’s regenerating health after every red moon phases, and our top damage per turn was in about 4-5 from a guy with big axe, and this mf attack everyone on zone it’s standing usually.
The second one is about combat. Do you make your move first and open monster action or open it and do your move to match it? Maybe we have some problem in translation, but it’s not very clear.
Third one, do you play with some home rules? I know the game isn’t suppose to be easy, but sometimes it feels unfair for the sake of being unfair, even video-game never did it. For example it feels weird that we can’t exchange items with each other or fight together vs one monster.
Starting work on the Cainhurst mini's with one of my favourite bosses!
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!
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?
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.
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?
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?
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.
Hello all, I recently bought the game and have loved playing it solo and my gaming group also loved our firat session together with it. So, I'm looking to obtain the complete set of expansions.
Is anyone in the UK willing to sell any of their Kickstarter exclusive expansions at a reasonable price? I'm looking for the following:
Upper Cathedral Ward Yahar'gul, unseen village Byrgenwerth Hunters dream extras Castle Cainhurst extras
Just curious if there is any site or anything where i can get my hands on scans/pds of the Kickstarter/Exclusive stuff.
Maybe even 3d print files for the Minis?
No way im paying a scalper 300 bucks for my beloved Wheel or Kirkhammer
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!
