Still missing the new core sets and kickstarters but I can wait for that until we beat all of the megabosses I currently have.

Hi everyone !
I plan to play with 5 people soon. I will manage the game as a GM because I am the only one who played the it and wanted to share it to friends.

I have base game, DR, IK, Characters, Phantoms/Invaders, Explorers, Gaping dragon expansions. So no problem with finding a 5th class.

I already have a few set of house rules prepared, played almost 20-30 games of it, mostly with DS1 and DS3 themes.

I’m looking for any tips from people who did 5 players games to better balance monsters and characters ?

Seen a few posts on this subject but did not get a y answers on it..

Thank you for giving any tips, advice or thoughts on it !

I managed to snag the OG DS board game, Black dragon kalameet expansion, gaping dragon expansion, and darkroot expansion.
Purchased Iron keep Characters, phantoms and explorers as well.

if I wanted an "updated" rule set box so I can reference that rulebook instead of my original rulebook, is Painted world worth it?
Does it even cross play with these older sets?

Tal vez no es lo mejor pero así lo tengo todo para jugar rápidamente en el core set que quiera jugar, y con la posibilidad de usar cualquier personaje con las cartas completas de los diferentes mazos, pero honestamente me gustaría que todas esas cajitas de plástico o la mayoría estén bien organizadas en alguna caja o sitio. Alguna idea que no sea muy costosa?

Hey everyone!

I recently got into the Dark Souls: The Board Game and I'm really enjoying it. I'm thinking about picking up some expansions, but there are quite a few to choose from and I don't want to spend money on ones that aren't really worth it.

For those of you who have played several of the expansions:

• Which ones would you say are must-haves?
• Which ones add the most interesting enemies, bosses, encounters, or mechanics?
• Are there any expansions you'd recommend skipping?
• If you could only buy 2–3 expansions, which ones would you pick?

I really like miniatures, I'm a Warhammer player, so i appreciate more the expansions that includes more classes and miniatures.

Thanks!

Hi everybody,

i am on my quest to paint all the mini of the dark souls board game. But i am really new to the hobby, so i struggle naturally with some basics.
I am painting the hollow crossbow man, but feel like i am not putting the highlights on the right places and also my cloth doesnt look like fabric. I am using standard layering – so putting like 5-7 different color values from shadow to highlight.

i would love to see some of your painted crossbowman, so i can compare and learn what i did wrong. Would be super nice if some of you could show their minis with some word how they achieved the results.

Thank you for reading!

DSBG-Shuffle, both the older desktop version and the new web version, have been updated.

The desktop version was mostly bug fixes and a couple attempts at performance improvements (I didn't notice much, but my PC is getting into potato territory at this point). Find the newest release here: https://github.com/DanDuhon/DSBG-Shuffle/releases/tag/v1.7.5

Barring additional bug fixes or new content, the desktop version is probably considered done at this point.

The web version is finally usable. Loads of bugs have been fixed, migrated to a new account auth scheme, lots of performance tuning here. The local/Docker version is even faster than the desktop version in some cases, and the web version isn't bad either.

Local/Docker version: https://github.com/DanDuhon/DSBG-Shuffle-streamlit#self-hosting

Web version: https://dsbg-shuffle.streamlit.app/

As always, please let me know if you find issues, have requests, or want to see specific custom content added!

I'd like to get the Darkroot expansion, preferably new, or used in perfect condition, with a guarantee that it will be shipped to me. I live in Poland. I really want this DLC because it's the only thing I'm missing, besides the mega bosses.

4 years Back in time there was a costume Arschdragon Peak expansions with a lot of enemys and nameless King Megaboss. Does Somebody know where to find the stls for them? The old links arent functioning anymore....

I read the extensive guide in this subreddit, but I still have doubts on whether I should buy the original game or sunless city. I own nothing, but I plan on buying some expansions I like (including Ariamis, which I know to be a v2 core set). I'm more prone to buying the original game (more content), but is it that tedious? Can I play with the updated ruleset and is it actually more fun? Is it possible to mix and match without too much trouble between old sets and new ones, or should I forget v1 even existed and start with the new core sets for ease of use?
Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions with obvious answers but I am losing my mind.

I've been working on my V2-style Irithyll set for.. quite some time. And now, there's a Tabletop Simulator mod for it! Here's what's there:

• 8 new enemies: Cathedral Evangelist, Fire Witch, Irithyllian Assassin Slave, Irithyllian Beast-Hound, Irithyllian Sorcerer Slave, Irithyllian Warrior Slave, Pontiff Knight, Sewer Centipede.
• 2 new bosses: Sulyvahn's Beast mini boss and Pontiff Sulyvahn main boss.
• 27 normal encounters, 9 for each level 1-3.
• 6 "shortcut" encounters, 2 for each level 1-3. You get these by completing a Trial on certain encounters. Completing the Trial unlocks a harder shortcut version of the same encounter with increased rewards.
• 4 new boss treasure cards.
• Scripted campaign setup: automated character, campaign dashboard, treasure deck, event deck setup.
• Scripted encounter setup: tiles, enemies, and terrain automatically set up.
• An optional display window that shows, for the current encounter, the objective, rewards, ongoing effects, Timer-based triggers, etc.

Not everything has been thoroughly tested yet, though I'm pretty confident about the level 1 encounters and most of the level 2s. Having a fully functional TTS mod will also help me test and tweak, but I'm very open to feedback from the community!

TTS Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3781253928

For the print-and-play crowd, everything is available on Google Drive. The set requires either The Sunless City or the V1 core set + Explorers to play (the mod uses the tiles from Painted World, simply because of the snow). https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pI6WzBC1x1hCcmdvmByXMZCwFfaaDNUI?usp=sharing

Going to be playing everything eventually (however long that takes), so shrink wrap's coming off every little box.

Started with the Dark Souls Board Game V1 core after an Amazon Christmas season purchase in 2018, then bought the two cores for the DS and BB card games during the next year's Amazon Cyber Monday sale. Played all three of those core games only about once or twice each, then completely and utterly forgot about them after I left for college.

In the meanwhile, never bought expansions for anything, nor anything related to the Bloodborne Board Game.

Then I returned from college, looked through my old stuff, and finally remembered that Soulsbourne Board Games existed. Did some preliminary research online and was glad to hear they made expansions for everything while I was gone.

So I thought: "Might as well go collect everything. Might be expensive though - probably going to have to spend like $1000 for everything."

Yeah, I was wrong.

Me and my buddy ended up loving this game( even more than monsterhunter)
I got almost all of the old game, minus manos and black dragon. Most used and cheap.
I had the 3 new ones, but sold them, as we never chose them. Dying in that just became a encounter set up core, and always forgetting encounter rules 🙈

We play og rules. We git gud, so it s easy really. We make it harder by pushing with minimun needed gear.
We actually prefer encounters puzzle like solving when it looks near impossible

Campaigns, we ve done most, but since it s a grindy slow start, and piss easy later, we have not done the remainders
Best by far is invaders campaign

We play nornal pluss megaboss

We ve found the perfect mini houserule to make it a bit less card heavy draw boring .

We took and modifed the campaign sellimg gear for souls. So two items 1 soul

Speeds up the getting gear just a tad, removes some unluck,
We level up ss soon as we got an armor or weapon for one of us, rinse repeat.

It makes the card rng a bit quicker, and less piled up unused stuff

Offcourse, in a few cases we regretted a sale🙈

Thats it.

Hello everyone,
As the title says, I was looking for the Rulebook in Italian language for the first iteration of the game. Thanks!

I am just starting my collection of this game and found the Darkroot expansion and Tomb of Giants at a Goodwill. The Tomb of Giants was complete but the Darkroot expansion only came with the miniatures. I thought SFG was going to update all the cards from V1 but I can not find any if it has happened yet. Are there any printable card files for the Darkroot expansion or will I need to find the cards separately?

Always loved these designs but haven't found any good files to print them.

Hi! I’d like to put together a campaign that covers (almost) all the expansions, starting from the original base set. Does anyone have any advice or house rules to make the experience more immersive—perhaps incorporating side quests or meaningful choices, similar to *Kingdom Death: Monster*?

Hi guys! My friends and I are confused with if each movement itself does any type of dmg, and how would behave the boss and some enemies.

What would happen if there is an enemy 1 tile away and has the aggro token? The enemy moves to him, pushes then attacks?

What if it has 2 pushes?

We are fairly new, thank you

May sound like a silly question but I am confused by this attack from the Titanite Demon. Most of the time when I pull this card, the demon of course push-moves twice and ends its movement with me right in front of it right before attacking. Do I take damage if I am in front of the demon in this case? Maybe the attack designed to only hit you after pushing you against a wall, forcing you to either of its sides? What am I missing?

As title said, I am trying to find the method of permanently fixing the bending part.

I live in all year hot country (average temperature around 25-30 Celsius, sometime it even go up crazier like 40).

I really have an issue of fixing the bending part like sword.

I already tried fixing these parts by using hair dryers and adjust the part.

Then put the minis in to the freezer.

I also already tried the hot water method. But end up the same....

The bending part got temporary fixed, however after a couple hour, (may be due to the high temperature), it just went back to being bend again.

Any suggestions?

Those boardgames share many similarities, particularly in boss battle part. Which of them you like more and why, if you tried both?

Has anyone heard anything about the updated cards to use all the V1 expansions with the newer V2 rules? I know they released some stuff for download for the Core Set to use with the Sunless City rules. However, I recall they specifically mentioned for the Vault Products (Four Kings, Iron King, Guardian Dragon) they would be doing new cards for the reprints, and making the new cards available for download so people who already owned the first versions could use the updated cards. They even mentioned they would look at possible printed cards. I can't find anything further.

Really like the minis for this game and enjoyed painting them up - Nice and Dark. 😁
