I think Ancient Evils is fine, it just should never be combined with Cultists or other sets which can add a similar amount of doom in one encounter draw phase.

Prairie Bus posted:Re: train scenario, I wonder if more players makes it more difficult than normal. I've played it with two and three players and that extra encounter card each time can really hurt given how quickly the agendas advance and all the cultists and doom nonsense. My roommate just found out that we made it way more difficult on ourselves because we've been playing under the assumption that when the agenda advances from Doom the only Doom tokens that clear are the ones on the agenda itself but tokens on other cards (monsters, spells, etc) stay there forever

We also thought the agenda deck advanced immediately after the doom threshold was reached, this only happens if an effect specifially says so, so you do actually have some time to reduce doom by killing cultists and such in some cases.

There's some serious power coming out in the next pack (and if anyone's done the 5th mission, you'll likely agree it's well deserved).

When you add a Story Asset to a deck, does it stay with the investigator's deck for the rest of the campaign or can you switch it between Scenarios? We just finished Blood on the Altar and there's one Asset that we can't decide who should use it.

What's the purpose of Exceptional keyword cards being double the price to purchase? Is this just so that cards can cost 6-10 points in the future?

They cost 2x, but count 1x for purposes of deckbuilding level restrictions.

2 new Seeker cards revealed, an ally who allows you to redraw an encounter card by dropping a clue (seems like a waste of the Ally slot, except that he costs 1 and has 2 health, 2 sanity), and a 5-XP-cost card that can reveal 1 clue from all locations in play. Huh.

Dr. William T. Maleson would be decent in a Roland deck. Draw a Treachery, drop a clue, redraw into an Enemy, then kill the enemy and pick your clue back up.

He's also really good at helping Daisy not die. More hitpoints and cancelling the treachery effects that threaten 3 physical damage. The opportunity cost is rather large, ofcourse. But I don't think Milan Christopher is the no-brainer in Daisy he is in Rex.

Yeah, Maleson is pretty great. I'd actually like him in Rex too, as the clue cost is essentially negated whenever you're standing in a place with odd number of clues. I'm also thinking of some possible jank with regards to Deciphered Reality. The obvious use is to keep last clue in each location on big scenarios, to scoop up later with the card, but I'm wondering about possibly abusing it for solo play. As in, with one investigator there's a lot of locations holding only one clue, so you could zip around (hello, in-faction Pathfinder) and then gather everything in bulk.

Can anyone give some feedback on this Zoey deck? Zoey Samaras Packs: Core Set (2) Assets 2x .45 Automatic (Core Set) 2x Beat Cop (Core Set) 1x First Aid (Core Set) 2x Machete (Core Set) 1x Zoey's Cross (The Dunwich Legacy) 1x Liquid Courage (The Dunwich Legacy) 1x Kukri (The Dunwich Legacy) Events 2x Evidence! (Core Set) 2x Dodge (Core Set) 1x Dynamite Blast (Core Set) 2x Drawn to the Flame (Core Set) 2x Emergency Cache (Core Set) 2x Taunt (The Dunwich Legacy) 2x Shortcut (The Dunwich Legacy) Skills 2x Vicious Blow (Core Set) 2x Guts (Core Set) 2x Overpower (Core Set) 2x Unexpected Courage (Core Set) Treacherys 1x Random Basic Weakness (Core Set) 1x Smite the Wicked (The Dunwich Legacy) It's paired up with a Daisy deck and supposed to keep stuff off her while doing some very light clue finding. We got stomped in the first adventure of Dunwich but a big part of that was both of us drawing weaknesses second turn and the Janitor being literally the last card of the encounter deck.

Are you folks ever able to pull off these combos? Granted I haven't played anything but solo for a while, but I never feel like I have the time to try to assemble combos and need to just keep moving forward.

That's a great idea with Rite of Seeking, thanks! Shortcut being in Daisy's deck might be ok since as long as someone is getting to Zoey or vice versa the effect should be largely the same. Do you think having that, Evidence, and Drawn to the Flame is too much or is that what you need to succeed since at the end clues are what pushes the game along?

Do you really want Taunt in that deck? Me and my SO are playing Zoey/Rex, and it was something we cut from an existing deck, since with 2 players only, I think the card does too little.

In my experience with two player, taunt is often a dead card but when it does come up it can be absolutely vital. When we finally switched it out for something else it would have prevented us from losing the very next mission we went on if we had it instead of the new card. Both aloof and the machete's requirement to engage enemies for bonus damage make it important. It's also practically free to play with Zoey.

Are character cards considered cards for gameplay purposes? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but given FFG history and things like ID cards in Netrunner not counting as cards I want to clarify. Edit: Also the writers don't remember how Direct Damage works when pointing out the interaction between Sophia (In Loving Memory) and True Grit.

Yeah, it counts as a card. The article talks about him taking damage himself to trigger his ability. Also the RR has several references to the Investigator Card being under your control or being a player card. (See: Activate Actions, Clues, and Appendix IV.) PJOmega posted:Are character cards considered cards for gameplay purposes? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but given FFG history and things like ID cards in Netrunner not counting as cards I want to clarify. Yeah, that was pretty jarring. I think they just meant to convey that it functionally gives you +3 health, but it reads dead wrong.

I'm playing in a campaign with Rex, Skids and Daisy (Rex focusing on clues, Daisy focusing on support with books) and Daisy managed to identify the Strange Solution. Does that mean that both Daisy and Rex can now upgrade their Strange Solutions, or is it restricted to just Daisy and Rex has to do it too if he wants access to the upgraded versions?
