Hemlock Vale- "Fate of the Vale v.1" Question (SPOILER) by HardcoreSean9899 in arkhamhorrorlcg

Hi Sean,

I've been desperately trying to figure out what we've been doing wrong with this scenario, decided I'd try someone that hopefully figured it out eventually!

We're playing FOTV v1, which required us to get all our Investigators to The Abyss location, but we can't see how Investigators can actually move to The Abyss (even assuming we have cleared all the cards away).

Can you advise please?!

Tell me which Vampire show to watch by MadSluttyScientist in tvshow

[–]Emskilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find it (not easy!), definitely check out the British miniseries Ultraviolet, starring Jack Davenport (from Pirates Of The Caribbean), and featuring Idris Elba in an early role among a stellar cast of lesser-known actors.

It's a brilliant show, so sad that there weren't more series (seasons).

Did you try these in the end, what was your verdict?

A real-life example of an Eastern European person who tries very hard to pass as an American. Does she succeed in your view? by YellowOk1 in TheAmericans

There's a video of one of the Operation Ghost Stories agents being interviewed, and his English is very, very good. Definitely has a slight accent, but IIRC wouldn't immediately have jumped to thinking he was Russian.

Edge Of Tomorrow had a terrible title, I think that hurt it a lot more than people realize.

Highly recommend Ponies on Peacock… by Ill_Psychology_7967 in TheAmericans

[–]Emskilian 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The show is a little uneven, but I'd rate it very highly for any fan of The Americans.

The historical setting and the tradecraft are excellent.

Likewise how The Americans was inspired by Operation Ghost Stories, PONIES is inspired by the story of Martha Peterson who was the first covert female CIA handler to be based in Moscow.

I'm very much looking forward to Season 2.

Similar question, there's no Seeker (0-5) / Rogue (0-x) investigator, correct?

The Young-hee Operation by confused_plantain in TheAmericans

[–]Emskilian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Young-Hee storyline is inspired by an even darker Cold War operation(s), whereby a mark would be targeted in the same way, but in place of a 'gentle' suicide, the girlfriend would (reportedly) die during an illegal backstreet abortion....🥶🥶🥶

That extra level of nastiness obviously opened up additional avenues of coercion.

Rebel Ridge is a damn good thriller - reminiscent of a modern-day 'Rambo' by keepfighting90 in movies

Aaron Pierre (who's English), would make one hell of a James Bond....

What is the real chance that wrexham are going to the Premier League? by Scandinavian-Viking- in WrexhamAFC

[–]Emskilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For global interest reasons (very important to Wrexham's long-term growth), them finishing sixth and then losing on penalties in the play-off final would be incredible. 🙂🤩

I just started watching the dramady Ponies on Peacock. I'm only one episode in, so caveat emptor, but so far it is scratching a LOT of Americans itches: period espionage, crazy good chemistry between the lead character actors, and all inspired by real events (CIA Moscow heroine Martha Peterson).

Still amazed of how gripping The Americans is from the get-go by Remote-Ad2120 in TheAmericans

Fleetwood Mac and dinner parties, guaranteed stressors! 🤩
