I think it's like turning your small investigator card over when you've completed your actions, maybe? Just to show that all the game actions involving that card have been completed, because there's a lot going on.

Next GOT big box is Night's Watch: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/12/21/watchers-on-the-wall/ And here's another Mythos pack: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/12/21/blood-on-the-altar/ I find that reveals about mythos packs are a lot less exciting.

While skimming the AH rules, I was reminded that you can start with up to 9 XP worth of cards for a standalone scenario with no penalty. You can get extra basic weaknesses added to your deck for more XP if you're feeling saucy.

GrandpaPants posted:Next GOT big box is Night's Watch: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/12/21/watchers-on-the-wall/ I'm so loving pumped for this box. Been playing NW heavily since the game released and been enjoying the slow climb from being considered unplayable to one of the top factions right now. I've been playing Martell/NW in some capacity for a while now thanks to the awesome Martell icon removal stuff (attachments + Nym). Been going really well, in my extremely limited local meta of playing with a couple guys.  I've been hoping to see a Wildling Jon Snow and this is perfect. Can't wait to build NW Wildlings with Mance and all the new hotness coming for them. No idea what Agenda that ends up looking like, if any. Stark is the only other house to have a non-neutral Wildling, but bannering just for Osha and then having to force in another 9 Stark cards may be meh. Not that they don't have plenty of good, I suppose. Maybe Crossing? No idea what the icon spread will look like, but I do love the idea of being able to Ambush in all your Wildlings with Mance to get your 3 challenges through. Seems interesting. e: poo poo, forgot about Kings of Winter, so probably that unless there's some new Agenda in the box yet to be revealed.

Arkham LCG chat--not sure if I'm playing this correctly: I'm playing Daisy. I have Arcane Initiate out, and use the free trigger to search the top three cards for a spell. The Necronomicon is one of those three cards. No spells were found. I've been shuffling the Necronomicon back into my deck with this. Is that correct, or is searching considering drawing the cards as far as weaknesses are concerned? edit: The entry for "Search" in the rules reference says, "While cards are in the process of being searched, they are not considered to have left their game area of origin," which suggests to me that they haven't been drawn/entered my hand and therefore weaknesses wouldn't trigger off of that. Seems a bit too good but I guess thematically Daisy is using the Arcane Initiate as a lab assistant (guinea pig) and making her go insane reading the book instead.

Since The Necronomicon doesn't have the "spell" keyword it isn't a valid target for Arcane Initiate and is shuffled back into your deck. Revelation text on weaknesses only triggers when the card enters your hand, either through being drawn or through a card effect such as Arcane Initiate or Research Assistant. Also, a player cannot "fail to find" if a valid target is presence. If Daisy's player didn't have any Tomes in their deck other than The Necronomicon and used the reaction on Research Assistant they would be forced to choose The Necronomicon. Similarly, if Agnes uses Arcane Initiate and reveals two non-spells coupled with Dark Memory she will be forced to place Dark Memory into her hand.

Your searching your deck. If you choose the necronomicon then it's revelation effects go off. As the card says search the top 3 cards of your deck for a spell and draw it. The draw happens after the search and revelation only goes off when your draw the card.

Cool, thanks! It happened like four times in one game, so I wanted to be sure I was playing it correctly. Arcane Initiate is now probably one of my favorite cards, and I honestly find myself playing more Mystic cards out of Daisy's deck than Seeker cards, even when I draw the Seeker cards. I think her ludicrously high Sanity makes it easier to eat some of the horror costs of the Mystic cards, and her high Intelligence makes investigating a breeze even without help. It makes me wonder if I should just play Agnes instead, but I'd probably miss the easy investigating.

All those things you mentioned about horror make Agnes a murder machine, thanks to her character ability. Free(ish) unavoidable damage is Real Good. I think she may be the only character who can realistically solo the Rougarou campaign thanks to that ability.

Agnes is my girlfriend's investigator of choice until Lola Hayes comes out, and let me tell you, she's a great partner for a Roland Banks who is focused on his Seeker side. Scrye alone would make her amazing, but her ability to roll up on and slaughter just about anyone with a little planning means I usually just have to hold out against a single boss monster attack before it goes down.

I've found Agnes not to be quite as murderous due to her ability's once per phase restriction and her ability dealing exactly 1 damage no matter how much sanity damage she takes at once. Though using Forbidden Knowledge in the Mythos and Upkeep phases does help a lot.

Got The Sands of Harad for Christmas and it's really good and thematic but Southron Champion pulling the one copy of Southron Captain (instead of say, one of the five Umbar Sentries) is one of those awful swingy moments where you wonder if Arkham might be the future. Although, a giant screaming madman racing down from the hills to chop your elves to bits while they have no trees to scamper up is pretty funny.

I wonder if they will retheme the Warhammer Quest card game or if they will just let it die and let Arkham Horror mostly take its place. Seems like a lot of wasted R&D, unless it was just repurposed for Arkham Horror (I haven't played either, but have Arkham on the way).

Unfortunately the expansion features a basic weakness which is a permanent (and thus starts in play) and which has an impact on your setup conditions (start with fewer resources) so you won't be able to blind shuffle in a weakness anymore.

The deck building rules for the Core Set specify that you add in a random basic weakness after constructing your deck. That's rules as written. Obviously feel free to choose whatever you like for theme, or do it randomly if that's your thing. If the game ever instructs you to add more weaknesses later, it will describe clearly how to go about doing that.

I just picked up AH LCG as just a single core set. In Netrunner, the decklists in the manual are much weaker than the ones the community put together. Has the community got better lists for the core investigators, or are the stock ones fine?

It's not that big of a deal, actually. Just make the random weakness deck, flip all 'permanent' cards face up, the rest face down. Shuffle, pull one at random. If it's a face up card, it's a 'permanent', otherwise shuffle it into your deck. Plavski posted:I just picked up AH LCG as just a single core set. In Netrunner, the decklists in the manual are much weaker than the ones the community put together. Has the community got better lists for the core investigators, or are the stock ones fine? 2-core constructed decks are probably 50-100% better than the core lists. If you have a single core though, there's not much to construct, you can swap around the neutrals a bit but that's it. I expect that the next cycle of scenarios will be quite a lot more difficult than the core ones (at least the two first). Expect that core lists won't be able to complete the missions unless playing on easy. They are ok for a playthrough of the core scenarios though, but that's about it.

It's only that some players want to be surprised by the weakness so they house-rule against it.

Plavski posted:I just picked up AH LCG as just a single core set. In Netrunner, the decklists in the manual are much weaker than the ones the community put together. Has the community got better lists for the core investigators, or are the stock ones fine? Yo, I just managed to beat the campaign (standard difficulty) with a single core today. Not having the second one hurts, but it's more bearable when playing with a single investigator - it gives you some nice leeway, as you can stock up on cantrip neutral skills and ditch some of the worst chaff. It also helps that the first scenario is basically a tutorial*, so you can grab some of the upgraded cards as a second copy equivalent before poo poo gets serious. I managed it with Skids, who's good all around, his main weakness being quite draw-reliant to tackle 4-shroud locations (be prudent about your intelligence boosters!). While I thought Roland would be the #1 solo investigator - able to both power through enemies and sleuth decently - I'm starting to think he's actually a better team player. Going solo, he's both kind of gambling on drawing enemies rather than treacheries and, with his low evasion score, kind of boned if you get caught without ammo or before you draw your weapons. Conversely, while I thought Daisy will be completely unworkable solo, she's actually more of a coin toss - the key issue being if you can leverage your card draw and tutoring to grab some spells before you get too dunked on by enemies. I probably won't touch Agnes at all without the second core; similarly, I'm not sure Wendy really has any gameplan if working with just singletons. Having said that, any word on when Dunwich hits the streets? I kinda want to grab the other core together with it, for shipping reasons, but I'm also burning inside thinking of infinite money double-machete Skids backed by spell-slinging card-effect clue gathering Agnes, yet am too lazy to draw proxies. * At least with a single dude. Bosses with scaling HP are night and day for single/multiple investigators.
