Ring Side Report- Board Game Review of Forgotten Paths!

About Forgotten Paths, from BoardGameGeek:

The Misty Isle is a dangerous place, full of hidden mysteries and unexplored lands. Not many dare to wander away from the few settlements and the paths that connect them. Those who do, never return, and are soon after forgotten, as if they never existed. As if the mist swallowed them into oblivion. There are the select few who do return though. The Mistwalkers, as people call them. They always come back with epic stories of monsters defeated and treasures retrieved. Until those stories are forgotten as well. It is the Mistwalkers that keep the mist at bay and the people safe. Every time a new danger emerges, it is up to them to enter the mist and face it, before their memory betrays them... Forgotten Paths is a solo print-and-play campaign dungeon crawler with roll-and-write and tile placement mechanics, taking you through a series of nine quests on the Misty Isle. The campaign unfolds through the Storybook and each quest is represented by a unique map. The Storybook guides the narrative, presents branching choices, and introduces any additional rules unique to each quest. During each quest, you'll explore a unique map, revealing new areas through tile placement while gathering resources, disarming traps, and battling monsters, mini-bosses, and powerful final bosses. Between quests, you can unlock talents to permanently improve your character, and purchase single-use items that grant powerful abilities. Forgotten Paths includes 18 quests, enough for two complete playthroughs without repeating any maps, along with a selection of characters to choose from, each with unique special abilities and distinct talent trees. The Misty Isle needs a Mistwalker. Will you answer the call? -description from the designer
