I don't remember Curse of the Rougarou doing a lot of killing. Lots and lots of walking and a chance of being cursed in a bad way though.

My problem with the side scenario's is that they narratively just don't fit into the campaigns at all.

I do like the idea of being in the middle of exploring antarctica or trapped in dreams/alternate dimensions/time and just jetting off to gently caress around in Egypt.

According to another post I found there's also an Arkham Nights logo on each card. The retail release was scheduled for early 2022 but who knows what that means these days.

I just got charged for my preorder by the Asmodee store today, so it should be arriving sometime in the next couple weeks.

I really wish they'd reprint the novellas with more consistency. The only one I'm missing is The Blood of Baalshandor and I don't want to pay $12 for a pack of investigators only for Dexter.

Eh... I don't think so? In large part because they just recently printed the revised core set with all the encounter cards again.

As for Rats, I remember someone made a custom alternate version of them where they just had Surge, which was such a good idea TCU used it! (also they said they were inspired by TCU, so that may be more causal than coincidental).

I'd love a few extra sets of the shared encounter cards without needing to shell out for a new core set. It'd just be nice to have everything standalone within a given return to box, without needing to dig up the right sets and remember to put them back when I'm done with the campaign.

Just imagine putting 10xp into a single card though. You don�t draw it and now you just suck.

Even if it applies to both copies, which I really do hope, it�d be like putting 2 5xp cards in your deck as your first upgrade. Slightly more flexible because you can incrementally put in the spot over 2 scenarios, but as you say, the card is just not good until you pour in this much xp.

Starting with 2 lvl 5 upgrades is insane for pretty much any deck unless you got serious tutoring (big guardian weapons) and arguably even then you only want to do it if the card is bonkers broken (necronomicon).

If it only applies to a single copy it�s like taking a Key of Ys as your first xp card. Just nuts.

Based on the final perk on Power Word I'd assume the customization applies to all of the copies of the card you have:

A couple more Parley cards:

No hand slot on Blackmail File is interesting. Looks pretty good too, though not for most Rogues.

I like that Blackmail File doesn't specify human, implying that I have a blackmail file on this swarm of rats. I SAW YOU EAT THAT CHEESE!
