DSBG Megathread: FAQ, Discord, Links, Resources
Welcome to the subreddit for Dark Souls: The Board Game.
This is a cooperative dungeon crawler based on the Dark Souls videogames, developed by Steamforged Games, after a very successful kickstarter campaign in 2016.
This megathread aims to collect all common questions, links, and resources that people in the community, new and old, might need.
FAQ
- Q: How many expansions are available for this game?
- A: Currently there is the base game, 3 content expansions, 1 character expansion, 1 phantoms expansion, 10 megaboss expansions, and 1 tileset.
- Q: Which expansions should I get first?
- A: Question of taste, but generally advice is to get the characters expansion first along with one of the three content expansions. Then you can add on with more content packs, phantoms and/or a megaboss of your preference.
- Q: Will more content be made?
- A: Nothing is confirmed, but there are vague rumors of more content like Painted World or Tomb of the Giants. Meanwhile, there is a lot of fanmade content, with more still being made.
- Q: Where can I buy the game?
- A: Most content is available from the Steamforged website and any well-stocked boardgame retailer. Three megabosses were kickstarter exclusives however (Old Iron King, Guardian Dragon, Four Kings), and are only sold privately like on ebay, often at a premium.
- Q: I have rules-related questions!
- A: You're welcome to ask questions on this sub or on the discord server, if you're unable to find your answer by using the search function. Here's a handy flowchart for push behavior.
- Q: Where can I find people to play with?
- A: Outside of inviting your friends over IRL, mods exist for Tabletop Simulator with all the content included. We have a LFG channel on the discord to find people to play with.
- Q: How do I find good fan-made content?
- A: It partially depends on preference, but a lot of great fan-made content exists. We have a curated channel with links to good content and homebrew rules on the discord server. Another good place is the forum and files sections on the BoardGameGeek forum for the game. Moreover there are the houserule megathread on this sub, along with posts made by authors in the past. If you make something yourself, please share it!
