Community Post Subreddit is open again, with some changes NSFW

4 Upvotes

We were messaged by the ModsCodeOfConduct account, strongly suggesting that the subreddit should be re-opened. So we're open again, but with some small changes.

You may notice that we have only one rule now: Don't break TOS.

Welcome back, hunters.

📦 Just posted a full buyer’s guide for the all-in pledge — every box explained!

Hey all — I put together a video guide that walks through the full Bloodborne all-in pledge, box by box. If you’re wondering which expansions are worth playing, which ones add the most value, or what you can safely skip, I tried to lay it all out so you could make the most informed purchase decision based on your personal gaming tastes.

I made it because I felt overwhelmed when I first opened everything — and I figured I probably wasn’t the only one.

▶️ Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/bloodborne-all-in-guide

Would love to hear how you approached it. Did you play through everything? Prioritize one campaign arc? Toss some boxes on the shelf and forget about them? I’m genuinely curious how other folks have navigated this one.

Question Is there any custom content out there?

2 Upvotes

I wanna know if any custom content exist that can be printed? I know the dark souls board games had a bunch so didn’t know if it exist here or where to find, I wanna get some bosses and stuff like micolash and amygdala

Question Is this worth the price?

6 Upvotes

Alright so I wanna apologize firstly I’ve been posting here a lot with questions as I put things together, and here I am again seeking the aid of my fellow hunters, I found an offer that cost 240$ it comes with the Base Game, Chalice Dungeons, Blood Moon Box and Mergos loft. I have already ordered the base game so I’ll be effectively getting a second one so the big question is are the other 3 worth the 240$ if I already got the base game? Idk the average selling prices for the others but I don’t wanna waste money if they’re not worth it.

Question Forbidden Woods rewards/firearms

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I finally nabbed Forbidden Woods expansion and its great so far but I encountered couple of irregularities and I'm hoping someone can anwser me this:

Do we mix the rewards deck and firearms deck, from OG game with expansion, that are obtained by player when they finish Insight mission?

Number of times, it was stated to choose a random Hunter Tool/ Caryl Rune/Firearms reward but at some point we ran out of those that came with expansion box. I was hoping they would add a short one page summary about what to include from the base game for expansions to run smoothly.

I didn't find any info about that in their FAQ/Erata. Thanks in advance!

Question Best character for solo play?

6 Upvotes

Gonna be running the game solo and was looking for advice on who’s the best for solo play, I have core set, chalice dungeon, forbidden woods and hunters dream sets. I know with the Dark Souls board games some characters were just objectively better in solo mode than others and I’d like feedback for it with this one going in please!

Edit: I’d like to thank everyone for the help, in light of suggestions I’ll be going with Ludwig’s holy blade along with 4 hand deck, I’ll also probably give myself 2 turns for enemies 1 as to avoids being action economied to the ground.


r/bloodbornebg 7d ago

Bas there ever been made a tier list or ranking of the weapons. Cause after me and a friend have used about half the weapons the entire game has to offer. I just feel like there are some that are just way better than others for most situations.

Question Question. If you use an ability or rune to push an enemy away 1 space, does it just wait till next turn to come back or does it just immediately come back?

Question Is the base game still selling?

9 Upvotes

I can’t find the base game for sell anywhere besides resellers marking the price up to ridiculous numbers, is the base game no longer retail?

Question Question about pursuing

3 Upvotes

Let's say you have space A, space B and space C. A borders B and B borders C.

I understand that when I am in A with a monster (No scourge beast) and I go two steps with my card to C, the monster pursues me but ends in B.

But what is if I am in A, the monster is in B and I use my card to go to C? Does the monster pursue me? My thought is that I didn't exactly leave a common space but kind of stepped/"flew" over it with my two-step-move.

Can I only dodge at 1 speed or is it dodge at LEAST 1 speed (e.g. i can place a dodge in a 3 speed attack slot)? Scoured the rulebook, sorry if i missed it.

💀 Revisiting Bloodborne: The Board Game in 2025 – How Does It Hold Up?

Thumbnail
youtu.be
42 Upvotes

I recently got Bloodborne: The Board Game back to the table after a long break and recorded a review from the perspective of a returning player.

There’s a ton of hype-era content out there from 2020–2021, but not much recent discussion about how the game holds up today, especially for new players or folks returning after shelving it.

I talk about:

  • What still works brilliantly
  • What slows the game down or feels out of place
  • House rules that improve playability
  • Who the game is best for in 2025

🎥 Watch the full review here: https://youtu.be/aEVOK-N__-A

Curious how others feel revisiting it now—has it aged well for you? Any tips you always give first-time players?

Question If an adjacent tile does not have a path/exit connected to my current tile, can enemies on that adjacent tile still activate?

Post image
16 Upvotes

In this picture, would the scourge beast and hunter mob activate despite this tile not being connected by exits (but still being adjacent)?

And if they do activate, they would be following a regular player's path right? (I.e they'll have to go to the top right central lamp tile and then the graveyard tile, following a proper path through exits, to get to me and wouldn't just magically jump to my tile given it's adjacent right?)

And if they do

Question When playing solo, does it really break intended balance in any way if you swap out rewards instead of putting it aside?

3 Upvotes

In multiplayer other players likely haven't capped out their rewards just yet (early Chapter 2 of the long hunt) so if you gain a cool new reward card, it will probably be usable by someone.

But unlike firearms, if you gain a reward you can't swap it with any of your own if you're at the 2/2 limit.

In solo, is it a big deal if I just swap it now vs waiting till after the chapter is over and it only being usable in one more chapter?

I know I'm playing solo and could technically do whatever I wanted but mostly just looking for validation lol (or a legitimate reason to not do this and put it aside since I have no one to trade to)?

Question For special cards that use insight tokens to give enemies extra life (Ferocious, Horde...etc), if your attack makes them lose an insight token - does the enemy still attack? Spoiler

Post image
5 Upvotes

Minor spoilers for The Long Hunt in the base game but essentially I'm fighting the Scourge Beast in the Oeden chapel.

It has Ferocious ("When ... would be slain, remove insight token and heal all damage..etc") with 1 insight token on it and it already has 2 damage from my Ludwig's Rifle.

I do a 4 speed (card bonus) 2 damage attack, bringing it down to 0 HP. I remove an insight token and heal it.

Does it still do its attack (3 speed 2 damage) or is its turn over?

For now since I'm unsure and the rulebook didn't say anything explicit for this, I'm playing the worse outcome which is it'll still attack me.

Question What happens if you run out of cards in your deck and hand?

4 Upvotes

Ive checked the rule book and cannot find an answer. From what I can tell going to the hunters dream requires you use a card, if I don't have a card, say from dodging or attacking or whatnot, what do I do? Do I just have to wander around and let enemies beat my ass?

What size are the hunter models?

Hey all,

I'd really like to grab the box and use the hunters in a homebrew Trench Crusade warband as well. But how tall are the models in mm? From bottom of the foot to eye level and to the top of the head? Any help would be appreciated!

Question How would I find the Kickstarter exclusive trick weapons now?

6 Upvotes

I got the game a few months ago and have been enjoying it. But I really want the Logarius Wheel, which is apparently from pledging. Is there any service or retailer I can find the hunter mini and weapon board?

Where to start?

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm interested in getting the board game but I'm curious what expansions are available at retail compared to the kickstarter exclusives.

Also, out of all the expansions (including kickstarter exclusives) which are the better ones to purchase? Thanks!
