Hello thread! My wife and I picked up the revised box set a couple of weeks ago and have played through the first scenario. We liked the game enough that I went out and bought the five investigator packs and I'll probably wait for the first scenario re-release in March before I pick that up. What are your favorite storage options, dividers, and sleeves to use?

Were the FFG ones slightly smaller? I bought a ton of the Matte Gamegenic ones (Color Code: Gray), and while I'm happy with the overall look and feel of the sleeves themselves, I'm not quite as jazzed about how loose the cards are in the sleeves.

Any idea why the Dunwich Legacy Deluxe specifications say Maximum of 4 players, but the upcoming re-release and its associated investigator expansion both say Maximum of 2? Maybe a typo since the EotE specs say Maximum of 4 players as well?

It's a nice alternative for those outside the US.

take three tablets posted:I haven’t seen anyone mention this but they also did a POD quality run of Curse of the Rougarou and Carnevale of Horrors. Noteworthy if you don’t have them; they’re out of print and getting a little pricy. I got mine in yesterday and the quality seems good. I haven’t compared them directly to normal cards yet. Where'd you order them from?

Let us know when you do compare them to normal cards (thickness and print quality). I might be inclined to pick them up just to have as well.

Ordered the Curse of the Rugarou and Carneval of Horrors standalone scenarios as well as the novella cards from Gamezenter. Also put in an order on MPC with: - The 5 parallel investigator challenge scenarios - Parallel investigators with revised core art - 4 Advanced signatures with revised core art - Mix & match OG & parallel fronts and backs - Full art ("Play-and-Share promo) investigators And in the future I'm planning on placing an order for: - June 2021 Taboo cards - 2020 AN Council beta cards (Flashlight (3), Guard Dog (2)). I'll post pictures of the MPC order side-by-side with regular game cards as well as the Gamezenter PoD stuff once everything gets here. E:

From what I've seen on the Discord channel, some people use forwarding services where you ship the stuff to some intermediary and they ship it out worldwide for you. If you mean the MPC order, I believe they ship globally.  Gamezenter print on demand on the left, regular FFG on the right (images aren't mine).

So I've felt that with deck builders like Legendary, where there's some scheme that you're trying to race while everyone is trying to get their decks sorted, the fewer the players the better. Two players that have had two turns a piece will have better decks than four players that have only had one, and a easier time dealing with the baddies. Is Arkham similar in that regard? Do fewer players/investigators have an easier time since they can get their boards set up more quickly, or does the flow of the game balance out better with the number of players/investigators?

Is there a list somewhere that details how many cards, across all content, need clear sleeves and how many can use sleeves with opaque backs (player cards, for example)?

How does Stella Clark compare to a lot of the other Survivors? I like the look of her gimmick and hope she's not overshadowed by someone mechanically similar but entirely better.

 Sleeved up the revised core set, five investigator decks, and the print-on-demand Carnevale of Horrors, Curse of the Rougarou, and novella investigators. Player cards in "Petrol", campaign cards in "Jet". Unfortunately, I no longer have room for the chaos token bag and the other tokens. E: Anyone got any cool deck lists for when you've got a limited amount of content? I've got Revised Core, the five investigator packs, and have purchased the newly released (released?) Dunwich Investigator Expansion and ArkhamDB is coming up a little dry on decklists with that small of a card pool. E2: Looks like it was an issue with giving the website an empty query. Searching by investigator name brings up several decks. Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Mar 9, 2022 |

Jimmeeee posted:I've been thinking of picking this game up. How easy is it to put together "pickup and play" decks for each character with just the core set + Dunwich expansions? Are the cards limited so that you'd need to be constantly swapping specific cards between packs? Funny you should ask that. I literally just built and played with these: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/6942/roland-turn-2-cores-into-a-5-character-pick-up-and-play-se-1.0 https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/6938/skids-turn-2-cores-into-a-5-character-pick-up-and-play-set-1.0 https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/6940/agnes-turn-2-cores-into-a-5-character-pick-up-and-play-set-1.0 https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/6941/daisy-turn-2-cores-into-a-5-character-pick-up-and-play-set-1.0 https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/6939/wendy-turn-2-cores-into-a-5-character-pick-up-and-play-set-1.0 The user "StartWithTheName" is apparently pretty popular, and he made some pick-up-and-play decks for the five investigators in the core set. You don't even have to worry about having to swap any cards around like the deck primer says, because the revised core set brings enough copies of every card to build all five. E: I do believe the scenarios are put together in such a way that the game expects you to have improved your deck as you go along.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Just got the dunwich legacy campaign/investigator expansions I went through all that space with the cards from the core set, Dunwich, 5 investigator decks, and two stand-alone scenarios because I sleeved it all up.

GreenBuckanneer posted:I generally do sleeve my cards, but what I'm trying to say is I have the core set (revised, so 2? core sets) and now the dunwich expansions + investigators. I can see myself currently filling up the Revised Core box and that leaves me with an empty storage box.  I think, fully sleeved, you'll use up a lot of your storage space like I have, specially if you purchase the extra investigators and any stand-alone scenarios. I wanna say there's enough cards per expansion to fill at least 3/4 of the storage when sleeved, so maybe we end up with a fully empty box in a year or two, but not every time. I've seen a lot of people recommend the five investigator decks, so I went ahead and picked them up. Haven't played with them yet, though. E: I can see myself picking up a custom storage solution down the line where I can store everything in one large box. E2: Missed that you also had a Revised box to mess around with.

My wife, a friend of ours, and I are trying to get back into the game after not having played for a long time. I asked them what Investigators looked interesting to them, and I got the following responses: Wife - Vincent Lee, Amina Zidane Friend - Akachi Onyele, Father Mateo I thought it would probably not be a good idea to double up on the same class, so I'll be building decks for Akachi and Vincent. Since I am terrible at evaluating cards and haven't played in a long time (or really very much at all), I've decided to hit up good ol' Arkham DB for some help with the deck lists. I have a few questions for the thread: 1) Is the Akachi list linked below well put together? 2) What should I look for in a Vincent Lee deck? (These are the decks that show up with the packs in my collection.) 3) What investigator might complement these two? I really like Stella, but I'm not confident I'd be able to pilot her well. Akachi Onyele Stella Clark Packs available: Revised Core, all Investigator Expansions released in the new format, the five standalone investigator decks, all book cards with the exception of To Fight the Black Wind, and five parallel investigators (Read or Die, All or Nothing, Bad Blood, By the Book, and Red Tide Rising).

I was looking at this Vincent list, though the singular comment on it mentions that the deck leans a little too hard on recurring On the Mend and not enough on gathering clues. Any suggestions for modifying it to do so? I imagine I would have to make some cuts to fit in at least Deduction (like the comment suggested) and Archaic Glyphs/Hallowed Mirror. For Stella, since we're not using the Taboo list, should I cut something for Drawing Thin? E: Might go with this Stella deck and replace Scrounge for Supplies, since I don't have it, with something else. Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Dec 20, 2023 |

That last one is very good for Finn. Free clue and resources and he's good at evading that enemy. It's hard to beat Faustian Bargain, but you can pick up Hot Streak early. Awesome possum. Thank you for the suggestions! I do have access to both Watch This! and Kicking the Hornet's Nest, and both Burglary and Burning the Midnight Oil seem neat.
