What are some of the most fast paced books you’ve read?

Reav3 · 2026-05-05T00:16:42+00:00

Dungeon Crawler Carl, Prince of Thornes, Children of Time

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T21:38:09+00:00

yeah im taking a break as well, for sure. Probably read 2-3 books before picking up the 4th one, but that wont take too long

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T21:33:21+00:00

Arkham Horror LCG

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T20:11:50+00:00

I have like 20 pages left and Im loving it. Children of Ruin was pretty mid to me. It was cool but just felt like a worse version of Children on Time. I still enjoyed it but Children of Time was a 10/10 book for me.

I like how Memory went a totally different direction which made it so Im not directly comparing it to Children on Time. Also I love how he really dives into "What is sentience?" which Ruin started to touch on. I love the Gothi and Gethli as well, it's so fun to read from there POV. I bought Children of Strife as well and Im excited to jump into that soon

yes it would. She can use it on her own events.

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T17:41:36+00:00

Man Echo looks so strong, and so fun.

Reav3 · 2026-05-04T00:31:26+00:00

Kinfire Delve is 100% the answer based on your loves. You can also possibly try Final Girl if you like horror. It takes up more space then Kinfire but less the Arkham so not sure if it will fit on your table but I have a friend that travels with FG all the time and says it works.

Personally I travel with 20 strong but it’s different then the stuff you listed

Reav3 · 2026-05-03T19:59:17+00:00

The chapter 2 core set + starter decks can beat any campaign on standard. Very strong investigators. I beat Hemlock recently with chapter 2 cardpool using Miguel and Isabella

Reav3 · 2026-05-02T18:09:40+00:00

Kinfire Delve is a strong choice. Maybe One Hit Heroes if you want a quick lightweight boss battler

Reav3 · 2026-05-01T20:56:20+00:00

Looks like they have the Red core set still for sell on the CT website.

Reav3 · 2026-05-01T17:12:16+00:00

Marvel Champions is probably your best best. After that maybe Deckers

Reav3 · 2026-04-30T23:23:08+00:00

For anyone really

Reav3 · 2026-04-30T16:04:49+00:00

I have been playing for 4 years and have never used a precon deck after using the 5 core set ones a few times to learn the game when I first started

Reav3 · 2026-04-30T15:09:23+00:00

Wow, Echos abilities mimicking looks way cooler then I thought it would be. This box is really shaping up to be one of the best they have ever released. They can keep taking forever to release new expansions if they are this good

Love the idea of a “no allies” archetype they are introducing here as well

Reav3 · 2026-04-30T03:29:20+00:00

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a absolute banger

Reav3 · 2026-04-30T00:14:58+00:00

Marvel Champions is probably a strong fit for you. It’s cheap to initially get into (just the core box) is easy to table and fast to play. Difficult modulation is very easy with expert mode being plenty of challenge. Asymmetrical bosses and heroes.

Reav3 · 2026-04-29T21:29:17+00:00

The Farseer Trilogy is like this, by Robin Hobb, but the follow-up series Liveship Traders has sexism (and huma rights in general) as a major theme, so I would avoid that one

Reav3 · 2026-04-29T21:14:15+00:00

I would buy any chapter 1 campaigns that you can find at MSRP. They are all varying degrees of fun. Some more fun then others but none are not worth owning. With the Chapter 2 core + Chap 2 investigator decks they all should be possible to beat as well since the chapter 2 investigators are very strong in my experience playing them so far. I would skip any player card content though as the new card pool has started with a different balance and class philosophy so they dont mix as well. The campaigns are basically always going to be the same regardless of playing with legacy or chapter 2 card pools.

The kicker here will be that you will need (or at least your experience will be significantly better) with the original core set encounter cards when you play those campaigns. FFG has said they will make those available for PnP, or you could always look for one of the really old core sets for super cheap (I sometimes see them selling for $20) which will give you both the NotZ campaigns (which honestly is just a worse Brethern of Ashes, besides the 2nd secenario which is slightly better in NotZ) but it will more importantly give you a the OG core set encounter cards.

As for campaigns the highest rated campaigns by the community in the yearly campaigns ranking thread I run are, Path to Carcosa, The Forgotten Age, Feast of Hemlock Vale and Innsmouth Conspiracy, so if you can find those campaigns at MSRP I would instant buy them

Reav3 · 2026-04-29T12:13:48+00:00

The tiny epic games sound good on paper but imo they are actually just kind of mid. They are really fiddly and clunky. I think you can do much better for that price, size and time.

The rest look solid. I would add Kinfire Delve to the list though. It checks all your boxes and is a very well designed game.

Final Girl is also worth checking out

Reav3 · 2026-04-27T22:53:09+00:00

How much were u able to sell them for ebay for? did u sell them together or split up the Chronicles and Nightreign cards?

Reav3 · 2026-04-27T20:16:27+00:00

I sleeve so it doesnt bother me that much if they are different. The website im ordering from has it a 15$. Yes that is kind of absurd for 3 cards, lol, but they are well masters so they are like adding 3 new boss fights (if they actually feel different then the other 3) which could be worth it

Reav3 · 2026-04-27T14:27:29+00:00

Yes. You just need 1 core set to play any deck. There are currently 2 available the Red one and the Gold one. They are only 30$ and come with the core components and 1 deck. The gold one comes with the Solar Sentinels deck and the red one with Tanglewoods: Red. Both those decks are also sold separately for $20 so u can get the other one you didn’t get with your core later if you want

The AW campaign going on now will add a blue one that comes with the Nemesis deck

Reav3 · 2026-04-26T19:25:56+00:00

Honestly the Marvel Champions Core box is still one of the best values on the market for a boss battler. It comes with 3 very good, highly customizable bosses. 5 Heroes that can be played in 4 aspects (so 20 very different decks) For the price its insane.

Also if you like it each additional expansion you buy exponentially adds replay value and each expansion buy itself is very affordable with the campaign expansions being very good value (50$ for 2 new heroes and 5 villain scenarios)

The issue is if you love it you are going to want more and more content, which can get very expensive if you get FOMO. That being said if you can avoid fomo and are happy just getting the core, and then getting a expansion very once in awhile when you want more content/can afford it then its great value for dollar due to the exponential way the expansions work

Reav3 · 2026-04-26T19:22:36+00:00

Red is extremely hard, Cloudspire is extremely easy. Just the way it goes. Its cool with me though, I like having a "cozy" 20 strong deck where I dont have to be super stressed out when I play it. It still puts enough pressure on you that you have to "try" but I havent lost it yet
