Rad Valtar posted:So I just got the core set with the first two scenerio packs and plan on grabbing the first expansion. I need some advice on storage solutions. Is it worth it to get one from broken token or are there other ways that are better? Standard cardboard boxes. Broken token dividers are insanely expensive and will run out of room.

Most likely conservative initial print. It is a co-op game after all, and 2 coresets handle 4 people. Plus I'm sure the subsequent international shipping fiasco with Banjo going bankrupt haven't helped.

You have the spend the click to install the Fire Extinguisher, then you install the Fire Axe, trash the extinguisher, then get it back via scavenging when you could get back an item that you actually want and are pitching for pips. Like Rabbit Foot.

Continuing FFG's proud tradition of making rulings in social media than making the opposite ruling in FAQs. Ignore that it's a ruling I agree with. (weaknesses and player elimination)

Fat Samurai posted:Anyone has a list of 4 decks that you can make with a complete (2 cores) collection? I have a 4 player game coming tomorrow, I'm bad at deckbuilding, busy tonight and usually play 2 player. For the core set, simply make 4 mono decks with 10 neutrals each. If you want you can have the odd one out get picked over for bits. That is, if you don't use Daisy you can give the detective some of her kit. For my money the best would be Daisy, Skids, Agnes, abd Survivor Girl. Give Skids weapons from the guardian pile and you've got a reasonably balanced team.

Fat Samurai posted:Sorry, badly explained. I have all the published stuff, plus an extra core. Thanks for trying, though I'd still say keep it mono-color to each deck, with heavy focus on core set cards. Maybe some exceptions for some of the expansion cards (cough, ritual candles, cough). Make it clear with each deck "this is what my faction focuses on."

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.

Hey guys, Dunwich Legacy question (spoilers for first 2 scenarios) We decided to search the University first. The clover club agendas specify that we skip 2b and proceed straight to 2c. However 2a is what shuffles the abominations into the encounter deck. when it says "skip to" does that mean "go directly to" or "immediately process all steps between?" We're doing the latter because otherwise 2b makes no sense.

Any thoughts on Strange Solutions? It feels like the 4 experience cost makes it not worth running. I've still got them in a Rex deck having just finished part 6 of the Dunwich Horror and I've never felt spending a scenario's worth of xp on it was worthwhile.

alansmithee posted:The problem I have with Rogue cards is that a few of the better ones are super-expensive (including the exceptionals). They also run event heavy, which kinda mitigates the impact imo of some-it shouldn't matter but paying 3-4 xp for a one time effect feels a bit worse to me than say, getting upgraded shrivelling. I don't think they have too much in the way of intermediate upgrades outside of getting switchblades. I believe the lvl. 1 card in the next set will be very helpful, assuming I'm remembering correctly what it is lockpicks. Switchblades and Leo 1s are my early upgrades for Rogue.

Bottom Liner posted:Pete and Duke are absolutely monstrous. They work well in a group filling in the holes or playing cleanup, or solo thanks to Duke's versatility and strength. I've tried mixing him with every other color and they all work well. Favorite investigator by far right now. I usually build him with a large variety of skill cards instead of going hard on any one aspect and it works really well. Unexpected Courage and Lucky! are a must for him and will give you many clutch saves. Dark Horse can also be really good, as I usually play aggressively with resources and buffing him across the board is great. Lucky! is also one of the strongest level zero cards in the game. Anything that can affect a skill test after the token is pulled is amazing.

With that last question I seriously recommend rereading the instructions. If you're missing where weaknesses go (in your deck) and think you need to exceed (rather than equal or exceed) difficulty numbers to succeed in checks it is very likely you are making many other rules mistakes. Which is fine. We all gently caress up some FFG rules the first few times playing. But we aren't going to be able to identify all mistakes made.

Steve2911 posted:The whole 'second core set' thing still gets on my nerves as a concept. They know 60% of the cards in every group's 2nd, 3rd and 4th core set will never be used. They'd rather print a shitload of unnecessary cardboard (and all the tokens and rulebooks) than just release a slightly cheaper box of just the core investigator cards. You can still get people to buy multiple sets but it cuts out the insane waste. C'mon down to Steve's Dead Horse Lot. We have a fine variety of dead horses that you can beat on to your heart's content.
