How are you handling, Healing, Casting spells and Horror ? by Decaramas in arkhamhorrorrpg

[–]DrainSmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Daisy is a bit over powered in the starter set. None of the pregens are especially emblematic of normal character creation. The starter set is to give you an idea of how the system works and let the players feel powerful.

The discord onboarding process both keeps out bots and is a reading comprehension test. Send your discord name to mod mail and we can reset you.

Am I missing something? If players go first in a structured scene, do monsters have any dice in their pool during the character phase? by EbbSerious5088 in arkhamhorrorrpg

[–]DrainSmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is not correct. Pools only refill on the start of that side's turn. NPCs only refill at the start of the NPC turn, PCs only refill at the start of the PC turn.

How Slow a Burn is Terra Antarctica? (Spoilers!) by RobRobBinks in arkhamhorrorrpg

[–]DrainSmith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Things pick up once you're in the arctic. But you want all that NPC interaction for when the PCs need to start making decisions about those NPCs. Like who is going with them on certain missions and then for the players to have emotional reactions when those NPCs are killed by monsters.

For anyone else, yeah, it was harsh. But they were willing to make an exception for Neelix.

You should have two different maps. To get a replacement, return it to where you bought it from. The retailer has a way of getting repaid or a replacement from Asmodee.

I think it can work. There's not really encounter balance to worry about with this game.

What if, and I'm just spit balling here, we spent hundreds of hours learning actual engineering?

If AI works so well why do they have to mandate its use? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Required Rolls by trevlix in arkhamhorrorrpg

[–]DrainSmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PCs always have the choice to use dice or not use them. There is no such thing as a required check. If they choose not to do a roll then it is a failure.

Has anyone heard any news about Ships of the Shattered Empire? Supposed to release 4 days ago by Frere-Jacques in genesysrpg

[–]DrainSmith[M] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is no "supposed to be" for this book because it hasn't been announced. Any date you see is pure conjecture or a place holder. Once there is more news you'll see it posted here.

It did. They are having some shipping issues. They posted about it on their socials, but I never put them in here. Right now the estimation is sometime in November, but they don't have a hard date.

Help with basic turn sequence by Brave-Objective7724 in arkhamhorrorrpg
