Gloomhaven Helper - deck not shuffling

percussionman11

Love the program but noticed a slight problem in that when the 2x and miss attack cards come up the deck doesn't reshuffle. Any chance you can patch this? Small problem but a huge pain to click through the deck every time.

Another suggestion, would be awesome for desktop users to be able to type in the initiative using the keyboard numpad. The option 'numpad' exists but only pulls up an onscreen one that doesn't work with the keyboard.

One last thought, as somebody who is running two campaigns it would be amazing to have the option to save/load your parties. This is not a huge deal but even having 3 slots to save preconfigured groups would be nice.

Thanks again for making a stellar app. This is the only app my groups use because of how well made it is.

If you are shuffling when you see the shuffle symbol, you are playing wrong! Per the rules, the shuffle happens at the end of the turn. The app handles it correctly. 🙂 This is a very common mistake. You aren't the first to go way out of the way to click through the whole deck.

I'm not sure opening the keyboard would be better than the onscreen numpad. Why do you ask for this?

Saving groups of player characters would be a fair amount of work for me, while it's pretty easy to modify the characters yourself. I doubt most players play multiple campaigns.

Glad you like the app! 🙂

Holy cow I totally overnighted on that rule, thanks for the clarification!

I guess I imagined the ability to tab to next champ and use the numpad to enter the amounts avoiding the slightly slower option of using a click or drag interface.

Completely understand on the third comment.

Oh, I was usually thinking each player would use their own device, so only needs to enter init once. Might be interesting to, if no clients are connected, pop open the next init numpad automatically.

Ya for my groups I act as the only device to enter in info. I have your software on one monitor and a google sheets document with all of the other info for character and party tracking purposes. Works nicely for us now at a slower pace gameplay (still new) but will see how it works when we become more comfortable with our decks.
