  • I’ve been playing through Black Skylanda lately.

    I originally put it down because the top-down perspective was a bit jarring, but have been having fun taking down sky pirates both on land and in the air since I’ve picked it back up.

    So far the upgrade paths and the currency gain for those upgrades have been mostly on par with each other, so I haven’t felt the need to grind mats for anything. I can rescue a stranded pilot or two, liberate an island, and carve out a new parking location for my big ship all in one sitting, which makes it feel as though just about anything I do is progressing something.

    Looking forward to more!



  • Once set has plenty of replayability. I did pick up a couple of character packs to try out the roster.

    Compared to Warhammer, at least, I feel I’m getting much more of my money’s worth, and everyone’s a bit less salty if we happen to get out collective teeth kicked in.

    If you’re in the States, you can order from the devs to hopefully save some cash, but I have a FLGS to hit up, myself.

    I’m mainly looking at adding the Frontier Town, which adds a ton of stuff to the non-dungeon-crawling past of the game, and the werewolves expansion because, well, werewolves. But other than that the base game has everything for more than a couple of games of fun!


  • There is a little bit of prep for the minis, but they provide tokens to use in the meantime if you’d like to play beforehand. What we did is just have everyone be responsible for their character, but it isn’t strictly necessary.

    I’ve also 3d printed card & token holders to speed up setup.

    I haven’t played Gloomhaven, unfortunately, but I’ll have to give it a try at some point.

    That being said, I’m loving the theming of SoB a bunch! I can’t wait to learn enough to start making homebrew stuff.
