That kind of thing is sometimes what I do to really aggressive quarterbacks. Just do the opposite to teach them not to play out my turn for me. Collaboration in a co-op game is great, but some people get really extreme with the QBing.

I usually tackle them and scream 'IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE TACKLED YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE QUARTERBACKED' and then mash their face into the floor

Also man these little xpacs are hard as gently caress to find since they sell out in days. I snagged two when i was out in NY but I still don't have miskatonic museum.

Figure they would up their print runs with the demand being so high.

If I stop paying the $3 a month or whatever, do I still get all my card images? That's not tied to the subscription, is it?

I've not actually tried letting my subscription end to test that... I wouldn't think so, and certainly hope not, but unfortunately don't know.

I tried using TTS to play it before the OCTGN module was out and found it a bad enough experience that I never did it again. Especially as I tend to play on my laptop, without a mouse.

$3 a month for premium server which includes uh... I dunno, ostensibly some other stuff.

But in other news, I finally have 2 core sets, Dunwich, and all 3 mythos packs! PHEW, the search is over for now.

Not yet, no, despite there being like three different places it seems like it would fit (this upcoming pack included).

Maybe four for a joke option of you drinking it at the Clover Club.

Inquiring mind is really good, especially for a zero. I don't mind Alyssa either-she actually is kinda amazing with the bonus investigator from the book deal (that I'm still sad I didn't get :( ). Although acolytes largely serve the same function.

I was just looking into that today, apparently Marie Lambeau is going to be in a future expansion, the preorder thing was just to get her early.

I really like tactical options that let you mess with the encounter deck like Scrying and now Alyssa.

Charisma seems like it would be absolutely required before investing in her for Marie -- 4 resources is expensive for a Mystic and a Baron Samedi draw would kill her immediately and waste that investment. Great combo once you have Charisma though.

Yeah they confirmed you just got her early if you got the book. Scans of the card are out there so she's real easy to proxy. The book is awesome though.

Yeah I know you just get her early, but it appears she's not in the next expansion either so it's taking a lot longer for her to come out than I expected. Also my friend did get the book and I'm just a bit jealous since he's been playing her since day one.

Charisma is definitely a go-to card for Marie because as you mentioned Samedi just wrecks you. Even without though she's still gonna be solid since you can't totally fear Samedi. The effect is also super strong-unlike scrying you're not delaying some event but actually trashing it (although 1 doom isn't insignificant). And I don't find mystics to be that short on cash-forbidden knowledge plus emergency seems to keep them in cash, and a lot of their other stuff seems reasonable in cost (although most of my mystic experience has just been with Jim).

I'm kind of torn between which of those new rogue cards I want in my Jenny Barnes deck first. Upgraded Opportunist x2 (which would also give others the chance to put the level 0 cards in their deck), or get some "Lucky" dice in? Quick thinking is really nice as well though...

I'm kind of surprised they included three new Rogue cards instead of the usual two per class. I really dig all of the ones from this pack, but man, there are some subtle (but really important) changes between the normal and upgraded versions of the Rogue and Survivor cards.

-Opportunist upgraded is now succeed by 2 or more instead of 3 or more.
-Survival Instinct adds an extra Agility icon, but more importantly, if you succeed, you Evade all enemies and move, instead of just disengaging them. This one is REALLY nice.

I really liked her evasion tank gimmick the first time I played her. Then I reached the boss of the core set who'd unexhaust after every player's turn and she was completely worthless.

It left a sour enough taste in my mouth that I've not wanted to play her again.

Looks like the Core and Dunwich Legacy have been on the boat since mid-april. Anyone know how accurate FFG's 4-6 week boat-to-shelves estimate is nowadays? I remember for a while they were nowhere close to meeting that with X Wing restocking.
