Good clarification, thank you.

This is what the rules say:

Revealing Order Markers:
Players reveal Order Markers in clockwise order starting with the player who rolls highest for initiative. A player may have 2 or more of the same numbered Order Marker. When revealing Order Markers, if a player has more than one of that number, the player may choose which one to reveal. After all the players have had a chance to reveal that number in initiative order, the players may then reveal another Order Marker of that same number again going in initiative order. After all players have taken their third turns for the round, in initiative order any player that has 2 unrevealed ‘X’ order markers on an Army Card can reveal them (in initiative order) to take an additional turn with that figure.

What part are you having a hard time understanding?

[UtahScott]

At first I skimmed "the player may choose which one to reveal," thinking that declaring a number out of sequence for a turn was an option (i.e. activating OM #2 first in the round). I have since been corrected, not enough sleep at the time.

The final official Heroscape release.

Thanks a lot Guru for seeing it to completion!

I'm definitely going to run this at some point soon.

Well met!

What I meant is that, while destroyed units are covered by Second Wind, Mindshackled units seem not to be addressed.

If it was an Adventuring Team's fig that got mindshackled and you killed it, I would say Player 1 gets to use it in the next round with a Second Wind roll. If it was the adventuring team mindshackling one of Player 1's figs, then I say they still get to use that fig in the next scenario, and since it wasn't destroyed, you don't have to roll Second Wind for it anyway. Does that help?

That makes sense, actually.

Well met!

The Gang is playing The Shadow Cavern this month, without me, unfortunately, as this is the month my wife has weekends free, so (to take long ones) Fridays (our usual day) are out.

I am looking forward to using the cooperative rules in my own scenarios, casting myself as a narcissistic megalomaniac, of course!

[UtahScott]

I got bored last night...BftU x8 bored. Here's the Shadow Cavern.


It's 51" by 66" (I think). The entry point is the bottom right corner.
If I can stitch a couple low-angle shots together, and they don't look awful, I'll upload those, too.

The Room 3 build has a few issues:

Spoiler Alert!

• [edited] Goblin Hill's two adjacent water tiles (blue start zone) are incorrectly identified on the Master Build diagram as "shared hexes" between it and Valkrill's Wellspring; VW doesn't have enough water tiles in the build to include them.
• Additionally, there are five 3-hex dungeon tiles shown in the build, but you only have four. One on Level 3 is covered by Level 4, you can swap it with an unused 3-hex.
• Finally, the scenario text doesn't delineate the waterfall pool in the build diagram, I'm going to assume it's only Level 2 water, not the Level 1 streams going away from it on either side; that's too much real estate for the benefits it offers, IMO.

Now I just need to find someone to play it.

What is the limiting factor that kicks these maps up to two sets per room? Is it dungeon tiles, shadow, water, stalagmites, or all of the above?

Spoiler Alert!

• Including the shared start zone's adjacent two water tiles between Rooms 3 & 4 (top rear corner) kicks the water tile count up to 26, two more than you have with two full BftU sets. Rooms 1 or 2 have enough unused water tiles, you could borrow from them to finish the build, but this makes me think they shouldn't have been included in Room 3 at all (they aren't shown on Room 3, just the overall map & Room 4 build).
• Additionally, there are five 3-hex dungeon tiles shown in the build, but you only have four. One on Level 3 is covered by Level 4, you can swap it with an unused 3-hex.
• Finally, the waterfall pool in the build diagram isn't specified in the scenario text, I'm going to assume it's only Level 2 water, not the Level 1 streams going away from it on either side; that's too much real estate for the benefits it offers, IMO.

Nice! That looks like too much fun. Wish I lived near you, I'd be over in a heartbeat to join you in a game!

I'm totally waiting for somebody to do a more sci-fi or superhero version of these coop rules.

Each map/room is a BftU x2 build, like the Wellspring of Obsession is a RotV x2 build.
It's the big official finale, don'tcha know.

If you have a Tundra set and don't mind subbing in pieces from the RotV, I'm fairly sure you can pull these off with BftU, RotV, and TT. The oddest part is using ice for shadow.
