I wish they would have released the repackaged Innsmouth prior to the new cycle so that I could easily acquire the bless/curse cards there.

The devil is extremely good for Hank phase 2, who can’t heal but can move damage. But you better keep that goat alive, it’s made of gasoline! Edit: That Goat is a very good candidate for calling in favors.

Question for Akachi’s signature weakness, angered spirits: in order to move charges onto it, can you exhaust a card like divination, which does not have “exhaust:” on its text? If so, how does the exhausted card function? Could you still access its investigate action?

Yes, you can exhaust it. I think you can still use non-exhaust abilities on exhausted cards, but I don't have a great source for a specific ruling.

Is that... how it works? I was always under the impression that you can activate a card that was exhausted, but you can't pay any costs that require it to tap again. So for example Butterfly Swords 5 can exhaust to gain the +1 damage on the second attack if it was untapped, but after its tapped you can still activate the ability as many times as you want, but can no longer do the second part of the effect.

That is correct; the only thing an exhausted card can't do is be exhausted again as a cost. Akachi can, for example, use Angered Spirits to exhaust Shrivelling, moving one of its charges to Angered Spirits, and then use Shrivelling to attack an enemy in the same round, because Shrivelling's attack action does not require exhausting. Contrariwise, if she uses Angered Spirits to exhaust Suggestion and move a charge from it to Angered Spirits, she can no longer activate Suggestion's -> ability, since it has "exhaust Suggestion" in the cost.

Yeah, sure. This thread is often pretty technical/in the weeds on the game’s mechanics, but I think everybody here would be happy to talk about the game to people who push past that with questions from interested non-players.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2023/10/13/laid-to-rest/ Parallel Jim! drat that weakness hits hard. That Spirit deck is super interesting, but since he's curse token based it makes me want to hold off trying him until the next expansion.

That looks really interesting, but I’m not sure how the spirit deck works. It seems like as soon as you draw them, they’re attached to The Beyond, which blanks their card text and makes them invalid for soak, and there’s no way to actually get them in play proper?

It only blanks their traits and the rule document says they're in play once they're attached to the beyond, so you still get skill boosts and the text box. They are invalid for soak though, correct (they do lose the ally trait though, so ally targeting treacheries won't ultra kill Jim).

rolling around up to 4 free allies (that can't soak) seems very powerful, but I wonder if its powerful enough to make up for that awful weakness or the fact that his new parallel power is still fundamentally at the mercy of token draw (although adding a charge is waaay better than just treating skulls as 0s.)

Funny this comes out right after they introduce the new "for each" ruling that stops players from blanking his weakness with Deny Existence.

For each weaknesses are brutal, enemy weaknesses are easy to defeat with any guardian in the party. They also become less effective as you gain XP and more ways to kill. I might not try custom Jim because I don’t wanna play that scenario again 🤣. It’s brutal.

I don't think I understand the new rules for Deny Existence and I've Had Worse. If you have two encounter cards, one where you take damage for every point you fail and another where you take a point of damage or discard a card for every point you fail (which is a less awful effect since you get to choose), deny existence completely cancels the first one but not the second?

that's right. because each instance of choosing is a new effect this also means that Earthly Serentity can make Carolyn extremely rich very quickly now

Carcosa or Circle Undone of the ones I've played, Carcosa has a lot of your classic horror locations, haunted theatre, catacombs, an asylum with potentially shady doctors, island monastery and an old timey party filled with crazy people or are you crazy? Spooky! You can even get lobotomized at the asylum potentially! It has lots of mystery as to whats going on and quite detailed descriptions of the terrible things that have happened/can happen depending on your choices. Then Circle Undone has witches and ghosts and deals with the sins of the past and you go out to spooky farms, haunted houses, cult mansions and islands out on the Arkham river. That ones definitely the most halloweeny I think. The single most spooky scenario imo is probably the opener of campaign B though, a hospital you've taken your friends to slowly filling up with spiders until there are giant horse sized spider monsters bursting into reality. I'm not even arachnophobic, kinda like spiders usually but it still made my skin crawl. Maybe I'm actually afraid of 1920s hospitals come to think of it?

Took me a while to find where this thread went. Parallel Jim is out!  His front side is whatever, it's not super exciting but neither were his original abilities, being able to recharge non-Spell/Relic assets is handy though. It's his new deckbuilding that's a little more interesting. Mystic 0-3, Spell/Cursed 0-4, Neutral 0-5, 5 level 0 Survivor cards, and a new mechanic, the Spirit Deck.   Every turn, Jim pulls out a spooky ghost pal from the Underworld to assist him. You can't assign health or sanity to them, but they're still in play and provide any effects they have. Once you hit four or more, you have to flip it over and play a little minigame to see which ones you get to keep.  And to top it off, a new spooky ghost weakness that goes in the Spirit Deck. Pretty tough, so you'll probably want to keep an automatic evade or guaranteed damage option on hand to deal with it. Overall, I think this is one of the most fun Parallel investigators they've done in a while. As a reminder, you can mix and match parallel front and back, so if you prefer Jim's original ability or his original deckbuilding for some reason, you can choose to stick with that too.

It's hard to judge how good Jim is without seeing his spooky ghost pals, but I'll echo the thoughts that he seems likely to be much stronger now. The weaknesses are really horrible but his trumpet is also insanely strong. You'll want a significant amount of soak because between the two weaknesses and The Beyond he can take a lot of damage and then there's the inherent weaknesses of the curse archetype.
