You and your group are sitting down for some cold brew in the Sleeping Lion after a hard day's mercenary work. Protecting that merchant was too troublesome... Suddenly a peculiar Orchid covered in an innumerable amount of crystals approaches and sits down at the table.
Looking from under her shadowed hood, she begins speaking.
"So you're the the mercenary group I've heard about?"
She looks around the table.
"Not that it says much coming from the people I heard it from. But I'd like to know what kind of feats you can muster."
She eyes each of you intently, measuring your value to her.
"Prove your true worth." She snaps "Accept the challenge that is coming and uncover all that lies beneath the veil..."
A chill runs down your spine at her final words, but before you can consider responding to the ludicrous comments of this crazed Orchid, she disappears in an instant. Your group stares quietly at one another, wondering what kind of wild and harrowing adventure awaits you all...

[h2]RECRUIT FOUR NEW FEARSOME MERCENARIES[/h2]
[h3]VOIDWARDEN[/h3]
After surviving an encounter with the void as a child, they are now able to harness its mysterious magic to protect others from a similar fate. Minds are open books for the Voidwarden, and they manipulate the thoughts and actions of both allies and foes... but always at a heavy price.
[h3]DEMOLITIONIST[/h3]
Always ready to destroy any obstacle that stands in their way, the Quatryl Demolitionist is a force to be reckoned with. They can augment their body with very powerful and quite unstable contraptions to devastate enemies on the battlefield. You might want to move aside.
[h3]HATCHET[/h3]
The Inox Hatchet is a sinister marksman. He has a strong inclination for axe-throwing, and knows how to hold a grudge. Oh! And his enemies are just as good as dead. They simply might not know it yet.
[h3]RED GUARD[/h3]
With their distinctive red armor, shield and chained sickle, the Valrath Red Guard manipulates the battlefield. They are able to both protect their allies and keep their enemies at bay, handling multiple opponents at once. None shall escape the Red Guard’s grasp…
[h2] FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [/h2]
[h3]
Is the DLC a standalone campaign? [/h3]
No, you are able to integrate the content of the DLC (4 mercenaries, 10 items and 25 new scenarios) with a simple click of a button into an existing Story campaign without having to start over. Alternatively, all new Story campaigns will have all new mercenaries and scenarios available from the start, while the Guildmaster campaigns will only include the new mecenaries and items.
Note: DLC-enabled save games cannot be reverted to non-DLC games.
If you play in the Guildmaster mode, once converting the save or starting a new game the 4 mercenaries will be immediately available and the items will be added to various treasure tables. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
[h3]
Why is JOTL not a standalone like the board game?[/h3]
Having Jaws of the Lion as a DLC allowed us to mix and match the content of Gloomhaven and Jaws of the Lion. We needed to change some things in Jaws of the Lion for that to happen smoothly. It also allowed us to mix some of the content of the DLC with the Guildmaster mode!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
[h3]
How long is the DLC?[/h3]
You can expect about 30+ hours of entirely new content.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
[h3]
How many players can play together online? [/h3]
You will be able to play online up to 4 players, the same as the base game. Once a saved game is converted to be DLC compatible, all players will require the DLC to be able to join.
When starting a new campaign you will have the option to activate Jaws of the Lion or play with the base game only.

What about bugs?[/h3]
Gloomhaven is a colossal game and Jaws of the Lion is adding thousands of mercenary combinations, possible abilities, items, perks, enhancements and enemies. While we have invested a massive amount of time and effort on making sure Jaws is ready and of the highest quality, you may still encounter issues here and there.
If you experience any bugs or issues that break the game or hinder you from progressing in the game, please report them on our support portal.
The devs would really appreciate it if you attach a video or a screenshot of the issue and all of the information you have available. That will help us a lot in our investigation!
