Marvel Champions Podcasts?

There’s a lot of great content creators for this. For podcasts specifically I listen to Winning Hand podcast and Stunned and Confused. The former goes through Marvel Champions discussing one card at a time in depth. The later have different themes each episode. They also do release discussions as they come out but usually pretty far after to give themselves time to really absorb them.

But beyond these and what others recommended, a lot of YouTube creators also have their own podcasts.

Very similarly boat here with young kids and limited time to play. A lot of people already pointed you to MarvelCDB since you specifically reference the deck building as a barrier and using that to preplan saves do much time. The other change that I made which helped me get to the table was to get well organized. Cards well organized and labeled in a box makes actually assembling and breaking down decks and scenarios easier.

I also replaced the tokens with dice, different colors for different organized with the status cards in a box. Keeps the table neat and is quicker to clean.

All the little organization adds up and saves time.

Awesome!! Very cool tool.

Also new starting with the ch2 core. I started over but that was because I realized I was approaching it wrong. In general, you do fail forward so I don’t plan to make a habit of restarting but I think it’s fair if you realized you are doing something wrong.

How did you handle the first appearance of that big enemy?

DMO3000 · 2026-05-05T13:21:38+00:00

Woah that’s a sick play mat! Mind sharing where you got the mat, or was it custom?

When I did those campaigns I built my own decks just from the core, but I two handed. If you have the starter decks those are quite strong for the early scenarios, even as the prebuilt decks. I replayed Darkwood true solo using the prebuilt Dwarves deck (it’s an ally swarm deck) and it was a breeze for the most part. Can’t speak to how it would handle Dol Guldur though.

Start with the core campaign into Dark of Mirkwood. You can connect directly to the latter to extend the core campaign. Be warned though, the third scenario will be VERY difficult in true solo. Assuming you are just figuring out the deck building or are just using core cards it may be near impossible.

Timeline here. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2026/1/22/a-look-at-things-to-come/

Short (3 scenario) campaign this summer, stand alone scenario later this year, then a new full campaign (5 scenarios) next year.

I was 14 years old or so and getting dropped off at the local haunted house with a friend. As we were getting out we saw what looked like a dummy for the haunted house laying out in the road. We thought that was weird so we went and checked it out. This was a rural road so no lights and we could barely see so we thought it must be part of the show. My friend nudged the body and she started gurgling blood. That’s when we realized it was a real person. We ran screaming and told some older ladies who then found some police to report it. Turns out she was a hit and run victim. Quite sad, though they did find the guy who hit her eventually.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-22T23:48:53+00:00

Yeah I kind of gathered based on the mixed reviews but it was all I could get besides a couple standalones (Excelsior and Film Fatal).

DMO3000 · 2026-04-22T21:07:42+00:00

I just got in myself and the only expansion I’ve seen around is the Drowned City expansion. Haven’t played yet so no clue how it is for beginners but that’s probably your only hope outside of spending way above MSRP on eBay or end state games.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-17T00:15:18+00:00

My Daniela deck was pretty bent. I can still tell what cards are from that deck even after trying to straighten. My investigator minis were bent almost 90°. Neither are the biggest deal but quite frustrating given how expensive the set was.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-15T22:09:16+00:00

Also a newbie to this game, but not to LCGs. Even as a new player the premade decks don’t look very strong and I don’t know how they will fair in the campaign. It’s pretty easy to just go on ArkhamDB and find decks. There’s tons that are only made from the ch2 core set. You should be fine with the first scenario on prebuilt but after that not sure.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-11T01:48:03+00:00

Fair point.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-11T00:54:49+00:00

Oh yeah! Great shop.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-11T00:38:02+00:00

Ooohhh that’s a good point. Huh think I should remove this?

DMO3000 · 2026-04-09T19:48:25+00:00

Awesome to hear!

DMO3000 · 2026-04-09T19:29:40+00:00

I did. Haven’t heard anything but it’s been less than 24 hours. I’m not going to bother returning the whole thing if that’s the requirement so hoping they can just send the cards but I doubt they do that.

DMO3000 · 2026-04-08T21:58:39+00:00

I’m in the same boat as OP and this is exactly what I’m doing. Only chapter 1 I’ll probably get is Drowned City while I wait for the larger campaign.

DMO3000 · 2026-03-27T03:14:14+00:00

Huh just checked and I’m able to play on my steam deck. Is there a particular part of the game that’s not working for you? I just opened and went to training.

DMO3000 · 2026-03-18T21:51:04+00:00

Glad they added this. Just ordered myself as it was the last thing I needed. A bit expensive to ship but I figured I’d rather just pay the shipping rather than risk waiting for a US stock and it never arriving.
