I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Thank! Oh, Arkham Cards is on Android too - I should've done the homework and given you a link, sorry. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arkhamcards

I've listened to a lot of Drawn to the Flame, it's two British guys talking about a specific topic each episode, e.g. going through the cards from a new pack, discussing a specific investigator or campaign, or digging into a gameplay question in depth. Recommend trying episodes that seem interesting if you want some quiet thoughtful chat about Arkham. I'm less familiar with the Mythos Busters podcast, someone else would have a better take on that.

Mythos Busters is fine but you need to skip the first 45 minutes of every episode at least before they get to the point.

Someone has never played with Arcane Research clearly

(Arcane Research is really really good if you have a big enough card pool if that wasn't clear)

I'm regretting not starting with that in one of the campaigns I'm playing right now, it's going fine but I'd have a few more slightly better versions of my spells to throw about.

It's one of those cards that is so powerful it's kind of boring to be honest. Lots of people want it tabooed

That Akachi deck looks fine as a pure fighter, Vincent is more of a support character who is going to be spending time healing and buffing so you probably want a dedicated cluever of some kind, maybe someone with a bit of flexibility like Finn (if you have them, I'm not totally sure) or Trish. Stella gets worse in higher player counts as she can have trouble actual *doing* stuff, since her strengths are being flexible, not dying and mitigating failing. She's not a bad choice tho.

TFA is a campaign of high highs and low lows. Some all timer scenarios and so absolute stinkers.

Kinda the opposite of EotE for me, where every scenario is pretty decent but theres no massive highs.

I think Unspeakable Oath is just considered to be too easy? I think its gimmick is quite clever.

Lol someone hasn't played this true solo

Innsmouth seems to have the most variance on how people view the scenarios. Most people love In Too Deep i think, but Vanishing of Elina Harper has real mixed opinions. I think most people agree that the end scenarios are pretty easy for a climax, especially compared to the start of the campaign.

EotE has a mechanic where if you get the bad end on certain scenarios you get to talk to an additional team member in between scenarios as a bit of a catch up.
