KPC_Mammon posted:I've not played TFA yet. Any spoiler free or spoiler light deckbuilding advice? I've heard a lot of the difficulty stems from the scenarios asking very different questions of the investigators. People talk a lot about agility treacheries in this campaign, but it's not super bad or anything. A permanent that can shore it up for resources if needs be will be enough. The worst thing is the supplies, and you're punished for making bad decisions quite annoyingly. It's a good campaign though, and has a couple of really best in show scenarios. Also one of the very worst, but I'll leave that to you to figure out which one that is

food court bailiff posted:I suck at remembering the names of these, looking this up it seems to be scenario 4 which I played so long ago I don't remember anything about it. What are the issues? There are many, but one of the principal ones is that it's a scenario that can outright remove your progress. It's really horrible to work hard only to see that success taken away and making you do it all over again. A lot of the flipping mechanics are tedious too and it's not very satisfying. Has a nice theme, but the gameplay is regressive and miserable. Many people just skip it. It's telling that they never revisited those mechanics.

Yeah, plenty of investigators' elder signs are +0: Calvin Wright, Preston Fairmont, Daisy Walker etc. Several others can be +0 if their pre-reqs aren't met, like Jenny has no money or Agnes has no horror.

Lichtenstein posted:Probably somewhat overpriced, but really quite neat. The scenario changes are both of the variety/fix and difficulty variety and mostly straightforward to sort out the two (encounter cards for difficulty, locations, agendas et al probably for variety). The boxes, while welcome for providing nice index cards for sorting the cards have quite a bit of empty space, with the understandably short Night of the Zealot bordering on ridiculous. Both of my boxes are full. Buy more expansions and scenarios

Carnivale is awesome. And don't play them at 0xp, play them at 19xp and take the extra weakness.

The difficulty with the standalones comes mainly from the bag. If you play it mid campaign it's substantially easier due to the friendlier bag state.

Funzo posted:Anyone have some recommendations for characters to take in to a two player Path to Carcosa campaign? We can find usable decks, but I don’t know what a good combination would be. We did it with Joe Diamond and Serafina Rousseau and it was really fun; they're both able to survive on their own while being really strong together.

It depends on the difficulty; if playing on Hard, there's no way I'm not seriously weighing things up before considering letting a +2 ride.

I picked up my Clutches today. Did this release go under the radar or have I just not being paying attention? Maybe with all the talk around return to carcosa and the dreamlands expansion, people are tuning out of the circle undone?

It's way more narrative heavy than previous campaigns, but it's subsequently more immersive because of it. We've been enjoying it greatly.

Mecharasputin posted:So after playing through the core box and falling in love with it I splurged on a second core, the entire dunwich cycle and the return to dunwich legacy box. Return to ramps the difficulty noticeably. It smoothes out some rough edges in the campaign, but at the expense of you having to know the scenarios pretty well, have an optimised deck with access to a large card pool, and just be pretty good at the game. I'd recommend going vanilla and come back to Return once you have more Arkham experience under your belt.

That's a good point. I do a flat 1:1 replacement of Resurgent Evils for every game.
