Enjoy the ride! A couple things I would recommend off the bat as somebody who just started myself a couple weeks ago. A lot of stuff is in the Read First FAQ on the sidebar as well.. but just wanted to share my personal experience!

Have fun!
Oh shit, you're Irish!Anywhere around Cork?I'm maybe 100ish hours into a 4 player campaign and if you're nearby I wouldn't mind helping your first game go smoothly.
> after hopefully reading through the rulebook first
One of you (you) should 100% have at least read the rule book first :)
Its 30 pages, and it won't all stick, but having an a vague recollection of reading about X and an idea of where to find it after looking at the index will save you a lot of time googling and arguing. You can skip some bits, like the variants and enhancements for now. Keep the book on hand
As for party comps I'd say brute and tinkerer plus any two others, best probably being spellweaver and scoundrel (cragheart and mindthief are both great too though). Just dont pick four who are primarily melee or you've find yourselves having issues with pathing a lot.
All of Rasdits points are good to keep in mind. Pretty sure there's a list of frequently overlooked rules for new players somewhere on here. While it's not a rule, I would add that you want to be carefull with using your loss cards early, as the earlier you use them the fewer turns you will be able to take during the scenario before becoming exhausted.
Lastly, Gloomhaven helper is probably the only app really worth using (optional if you want to prevent spoilers from the scenario book). you can get everyone to download it, ideally one of you can host on a laptop and everyone else can join as a client on their phones (because if you close the app to look up rules or some weird card interaction on your phone no one else will be able to do things like enter their initiative or apply damage) and it will let you keep all of the monster decks, stat sheets and condition markers in the box as well track initiative. Using it, and having a storage solution will make it easier to fit 2 scenarios into a session and finishing at a reasonable hour.
I keep my map tiles in one of these sorted alphabetically.
Here's my full write-up, but TL;DR I used the file box instead of the accordion folder. It's bigger, but the handle is nice, and I can fit anything I want in it (except the overly large map).
-----------------------
FYI, I slightly modified the YASS Gloomhaven setup to make the storage a little more efficient/intuitive and keep all the standee bottoms in the combat bin.
I go into more detail here for anyone interested.
ORIGINAL POST:
I use a variation of the YASS Gloomhaven setup. You can add an accordion folder if you like to save even more setup/breakdown time. I made a few modifications to the layout to make it more intuitive and keep the standees in the combat box. Here's what my updated layout looks like, and here are the files I used. I also lay my planos flat instead of standing them up as it gives slightly more space at the top to fit the board, etc. FYI, I didn't add the counters label, just left that square blank, but everything else is good to go.
I used a Portable File Box to hold my map tiles, rule books, monster stat cards (although I use Gloomy Companion most of the time), city/road event decks, and unlocked items. There are comparable options on Amazon.
Album of full setup
-----------------------
MATERIALS LIST:
Note: the plano 3600 on amazon is a 4 pack. You can find them at Dick's Sporting Goods occaisonally for less $$$: 3600,
3601
Optional:
Tape (I didn't use any, but others said they needed it to keep the label on the plano lid)
The Portable File Box I had laying around
Amazon File Box with stronger latch
Hanging File Folders I had laying around

CHANGES FROM THE ORIGINAL Y.A.S.S.
Units 1 Box:
No changes needed.
Units 2 Box:
I moved the Inox Bodyguards to the Boss slot which I shrunk 1 square by moving one large boss to the terrain box. I moved all of the standee bases to the small plano. I used the extra space to move all of the attack modifier decks in here. I store the number tokens and (useless) curse/bless tokens in the 2 remaining slots I opened up.
*Small Plano (modifiers/tokens):*
In the small plano I freed up the whole bottom row by moving the number tokens (which largely go unused) to the terrain box, removing the curse/bless tokens (since they aren't used in the game), and moving the element/HP/EXP markers up one space. I shrunk the single damage markers to a single cell (they fit just fine) to make room. The bottom row now houses the standee bases.
Terrain Box:*
I used the small dividers from the 3601 to separate out the traps, water, totem, treasure sections (this makes them easy to pull out). I shrunk the Doors by a square and added a square for traps using the short dividers to keep all 4 traps separate. Chopping out the divider to make room for the 3-hex objects was a lot more work than I expected, but it was worth it. I added in the 2 bosses to the bottom of that section since they don't fit anywhere else (and will likely only be used once each).
It depends on the scenario, but our 2 player games run about 45-75 minutes.
Before the game even arrived, I knew that the time factor would be the largest issue with seeing it through to the end. So I did a ton of things to speed up setup and playtime.
Other than QoL upgrades, it sounds like you might just need to speed up your coordination. Best of luck and enjoy the game regardless!
Totally agree mate. I’ve only had a handful of sessions but already been finding that digging out bags of monsters and tokens slows things down considerably! Thanks for the comment too.
Hope this helps and if there is anything else I can answer then please ask!
This is my setup. Setup/Teardown of each play session isn't troublesome anymore.
-2 Counter Trays. I can store most of the enemy standees and some of the random tokens like treasure chests and traps.
-Plano 23620-01. This is where I store all of the tokens like XP, Damage, Conditions, etc. This is also where the rest of the big enemy standees go (except the huge dragon). I can also fit random tokens like Doors, Bookshelves/Coffins, etc.
-Smead Expanding File. This is where I organize all the tile/map pieces. Everything fits comfortably except the "T" pieces.
-Avery Binder and BCW Pocket Pages. This binder acts like the Item Shop and can easily be opened to show available items. I even covered locked items with construction paper to be "unlocked" when Prosperity reaches a certain level.
-Ultra Pro Deck Boxes. I store everyone's Class cards here. The bottom compartment holds the Class/HP/XP tokens, Items purchased, and Attack Modifier Deck.
-Construction Paper. As a solution to organize/retrieve the needed enemy Stats Cards and Enemy Ability Decks, I created a sleeve out of construction paper for the Stat Card, leaving enough room to fit the respective Ability Deck as well. I sleeve most of the cards, so I put all 8 ability cards into a "City/Event sleeve", then throw it into the Stat Card sleeve I just made. Hope that made sense.
Paying someone to do the full set will definitely run you more than the cost of this printer. It's the printer I have. It's a bit finnicky, but the price is right, and it prints well enough for me! I'd also highly recommend getting a glass bed for it. It's stupid easy to install the glass bed (you just lower the normal bed and clip the glass to it with binder clips), and it makes the prints come loose soooo much easier. You can also have a hardware store cut the glass for you and it will be a bit cheaper than that Amazon link.
I will say, though: I only recommend buying a 3D printer if you're willing to devote some time to it. It's not like an InkJet where you plug it in and it just works. It takes calibration, and learning which settings work best. You'll have to do some research to get the best quality for your prints.
My friends made a helper app that is best overall. Replaced two apps I used, the element tracker and the initiative tracker.
https://ninebolt.github.io/gloomy-boi/
Quick list of everything in use - 1) Duchess Gaming Table, 2) painted minis from /u/PintsizedProdigies, 3) Uberstax for the card holders, 4) 3-ring binder with fully sleeved items and ability cards, 5) Boye Knit Tally Counters for health and and exp, 5) expanding accordion folder for organizing and storing map tiles. Also got some metal coins and other organizing elements like small bags.
I would strongly recommend the app I listed, the uberstax and the knit tally counters the most.
I tried several different solutions of varying sizes but the plano I settled on were these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EDPS4Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The sleeved cards fit in there at an angle like they were intended to go into this thing, which is nice. Some of the standees are large enough that they need their own space or need to be divided above and below the cards, but all told it's very quick to set up. The binder makes finding the tiles very easy, and all of the monster stuff is stored alphabetically, so they are quick to grab too.
So I actually just followed this BGG thread, downloaded and printed the templates that someone else made, and I bought the Plano boxes off amazon. They are good material and feel sturdily made. I don’t have any concerns with the purchase and am definitely happy so far! Much cheaper than the inserts available and it all fits in the box with the lid just barely not closing all the way.

That is what I use, it fits:

Perk Sheet (Folded)

Battle Deck

Item Cards
I'm sure any 4 x 6 photo cases from hobby stores would work as well.
​
The original boxes for the 4 characters can be flattened on put against the side of the box so there is more space in your gloomhaven box and easily folded back to its original shape when those characters retire.
Couple suggestions
If you're doing one time molds its really easier to use stuff like this
https://www.amazon.com/ComposiMold-Original-Reusable-Molding-Material/dp/B0096BNE9S
​
There are a lot of varieties, but basically heat it up and squish around your fig, cut it out and then use it for the cast, or squeeze two part epoxy in there, etc.
I've got myself these things:
Basically I first spray the mini's with the base coat and then apply the contrast paint to them. It pops out the details very well. I don't paint them with other colors. My hands are not steady enough and I just want something else than the boring grey mini's on my table.
It works for me, and I'm happy with it.
I got back into painting after about a 25 year hiatus, and got the following:
this primer,

this paint kit

And this wash:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0189BIERC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Really happy with all these products.
I also did this and its a huge time saver.
I used something like this - https://www.amazon.com/Chessex-Opaque-Black-Dice-Block/dp/B0011WOEQ2/ref=sr_1_5?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1526916861&sr=1-5&keywords=Small+dice
Checking Plano's website, it looks like this is a 3600 box, not a 3601. It's also a shallow version of the 3600. So unless Dick's has the wrong image, this isn't the box you'll want.
Edit: Actually, I might be totally wrong. The dimensions look the same as the one I got from Amazon and the image looks the same except for the latch color. It says it creates the same 4-21 compartments. So actually maybe they did just change the color.
