I was looking at this on Amazon and they had 5 copies left, I browsed to the expansions and back, and noticed they had two copies left, so I bought one on impulse. The Carnival pack looks great, but why do FFG do PoD that is near impossible to get in the rest of the world? Wayland games has Rougarou available to order, but they are not the speediest of shipper. This is my first LCG, I have no idea what I've let myself in for.

Unfortunately "Available to Order" on Wayland Games means that they will order it from their supplier, not that it's in stock. So yeah, could take a while. For what it's worth, BoardGameGuru is showing that they will be getting it sometime this month.

COOL CORN posted:Just paid $36 USD for two packs of cards to come to my house. My friend who was making regular trips to the US from Taiwan moved back there a few months after we'd ordered two full sets of Codex. He was planning a trip back here but work kept him from getting out of the US until March so I bugged him to ship it. Cheapest shipping via USPS was $175, that was my Christmas present to myself this year I guess. I probably would have dropped Star Wars: LCG except that Minature Market started using a FedEx service that has pretty good rates and about a 10-14 delivery time. Only bumps the cost of each individual pack to about $15 total. I recommend you preorder whenever possible though because it takes them 3-5 days for processing and their customer service is not the best.

Do we have a solid "available for retailer order" date for the first Arkham Horror big box? Debating whether or not to order it while visiting family for the holidays, since they're already chomping at the bit for the campaign and the two mini adventures.

So I picked up a binder and some BCW pages to sort sleeved Arkham player cards. Is there a recommended sorting method anyone has? I noticed i can fit two cards in a slot but only on one side of a page. If I do it on the other they start to bow.

I noticed i can fit two cards in a slot but only on one side of a page. If I do it on the other they start to bow. Get one of those fancy binders with the side-loading black pages and sort them by player class. They work great, I use them for Game of Thrones and that's three cards on each side and they fit fine. Leave enough space between classes that you won't need to shift cards around for a good long while. There are only four new player cards in each class in the first big box set coming out, so probably only one or two in each of the upcoming smaller expansion packs since they also need room for campaign stuff, so you should be good with leaving about a page or maybe two between classes. The encounter deck cards I'd just sleeve up and store in deckboxes for each scenario if possible - with two core sets you can make the first three scenarios without having to move cards between encounter decks. I'm guessing the upcoming big box + small pack campaign will end up using a mixture of cards for each scenario so I don't know what that will entail, but at least the standalone scenarios never mix cards from other sets. Either way I wouldn't store them in binders because taking them in and out whenever you want to play a campaign would be a chore.

So, some thoughts on the Dunwich Legacy cards: Ritual Candles - Seems good, gives you +1 to about 25% of your draws from the chaos bag. More importantly, it adds +1 to the results that are usually the worst. A hand slot in Mystic isn't that big of a deal, so you could even have two at the same time. Rite of seeking - mystics seem to gain a lot of key abilities fast - they can now combat, run away and investigate using willpower. This with DttF could probably be enough to be quite good at investigating. 4 cost shouldn't make that much of an impact, mystics have quite cheap cards. Seeking answers - Seems awesome, can save you a whole turn from saved moves, avoid enemies and make investigations much easier since it uses local shroud. Can be combined with Deduction to suck up two clues. Shortcut - good card that can save your bacon but can also act as a free movement action. Think on your feet - Elusive just seems to be better for most scenarios. Double or nothing - Seems really good. Also gives has a wild icon, so really it's test difficulty * 2 - 1. Bait and switch - a good card to get rid of enemies, but requires that you have good agi to begin with.

Skill cards specifically let you, no other card does. I had the biggest headache figuring that out, and crippled my first game because I actually thought they didn't help you with their icons.

Although at the very least he's 7G-kill a 6G or less character. Harrenhal was spoiled before but I still think that'll be a very powerful card-marshalling that is such a big threat. I could also see some sort of Bara/Lanni deck making good use of Ritual of R'hllor, as that gives you a great outlet for Tyrion gold (if any more were actually needed).

So in a post Valar world, I take it decks based on characters with power on them aren't that good anymore? I'm trying to figure out how to make a Stark power rush deck using the Tully cards work, but Valar seems to be a pretty easy (and common?) solution to that if I can't find my dupes/Jory/Bodyguards.

Kai Tave posted:I just got an Arkham Horror core set for Christmas, can someone give me the "FFG is poor at explaining rules" primer? Card 117 looks like a player card, not an enemy card. You'll be hunting for it for an hour if you don't know that. The final result of any skill check cannot be lower than zero. Makes certain Treachery cards less scary. You can only include a single copy of an investigators special card, like Daisy's tote bag, in your deck.

I don't think you'll be able to get through tournaments if your plan is to leave 5-8 power on your characters for more than a couple of turns, but I don't think the style is entirely dead. Valar's not being ran nearly as much as it was in 1.0 from what I can see, which means you may not even run into it. But even if they do have it, if you can time when they play it correctly you can really punish them. The big thing is to make sure you don't over commit to the board and still have a couple decent recovery pieces so when they drop Valar, you can immediately put down a key character and be off to the races again. That's of course not even considering Jory, Bodyguards, and Dupes (which it should be rare you get shut out entirely on all of those).

ConfusedUs posted:Card 117 looks like a player card, not an enemy card. You'll be hunting for it for an hour if you don't know that. Yeah, I had a fun hunt for that card along with the others in the introductory encounter. Trip report: played through the intro encounter as a Roland and barely succeeded by the skin of my teeth on Normal. Spoilers I guess? I got frozen with fear after entering the hallway and spent a bit too long accumulating resources while trying to shake off the debility. Eventually I got it and started gathering clues, wiped out the cellar in a single go when I got to kill a ghoul there for +1 clue on top of investigating normally, then once I was in the attic I got enough clues to move the act forward and oh hey, ghoul priest. I had Dodge in hand luckily and avoided his first attack, then on my next turn I played another .45 while I shot the priest twice with my .38 special which was down to 2 bullets. I critically missed one shot, hit the other. Then the doom counter rolled over and I added another ghoul to the location, and then added another during the Mythos Phase. So basically if I didn't kill the priest on that next turn I would be dead. I had to hit two out of three shots with the .45 to kill it and I managed to do so by blowing every combat-icon in my hand to ensure the kill. I then elected to burn my house down. So I have a new ally, 4 experience which got spent on Extra Ammo and an Elder Sign Amulet, and some brand new mental trauma.

Kai Tave posted:I just got an Arkham Horror core set for Christmas, can someone give me the "FFG is poor at explaining rules" primer? YMMV, but my first few plays I totally cocked up the enemy engagement rules. Some things I missed: -Enemies can be in either a ready or exhausted state. During the Enemy Phase, exhausted enemies don't attack anyone. -When you successfully evade an enemy, they become exhausted. This is a great way to punt instead of trying to kill them before they attack you. -If a ready enemy is EVER, AT ANY TIME in the same location as at least one investigator, they will automatically engage. They never just stand around on the other side of the room waiting politely (unless they have the keyword Aloof). -If you are engaged with one or more enemies they will take an automatic Attack of Opportunity EVERY TIME you take any action other than to Fight, Evade, Parley, or Resign. If you get double-teamed by two ghouls and you take an action to equip your .45, they will both get a free attack on you. If you play an action off a card like Book of Shadows to recharge a spell or Medical Texts to try and heal yourself, enemies will rip the poo poo out of you for it. -Oh, and Attacks of Opportunity don't exhaust enemies, so they will KEEP ripping the poo poo out of you for each and every action you take that isn't fighting back or running away. It's super important that you have your spells/weapons equipped before you get into a fight.
