Level Up!

This weekend in Cursed City, our heroes scoured the ruined manor house of my character, Glaurio, in search of loot to fund our resistance movement against the city's vampiric overlord, Radukar the Wolf. (Along the way, we discovered a mysterious and obviously very important tapestry, but I guess that's something that will be explained later!) When we finished the mission, our three main characters all leveled up. It's awesome to have a (non-Gloomhaven) a board game that allows you to play a character who grows and evolves over the course of the campaign, just like a real RPG. 

The only wrinkle is that our shared characters -- we started with one in order to get us to the requisite four-character party, but added another one this weekend -- haven't leveled up yet, so we'll need to undertake more missions over the course of the campaign in order for them to keep pace with the three main heroes. To the boys, however, that's a feature, not a defect, because it gives us more playing time -- it felt like we finished Blackstone Fortress far too quickly!
