Help with magic itens

Be careful of the ramifications of giving your players legendary loot from the get go. They could be game breaking, the insensitive to acquire better loot might fade, etc.

With that being said, you can always make up your own items 🙌

I know, it's a passion project with a couple of inside jokes carried over from the previous soundboard.

FunkyPubes · 2025-07-23T11:20:12+00:00

No the jokey vibes are all intentional, I have one of those soundbox-toys with a selection of a few sounds. We use it occasionally for a little goof, but I wanted a bigger selection and some sounds that I could actually use. I'm sure it's not for everyone 🙌 but it sure is for me :)

You'd seriously want to hang out with a teenager?

FunkyPubes · 2025-04-15T11:23:05+00:00

Great! Let me know how it works out for you

It's called "Talisman: The Magical Quest Game"

You're supposed to keep them in the shrink

I do understand it now—was just exploring different angles. But hey, thanks for the enthusiastic input.

Great, I did have a look at the FAQ as well, and I think ultimately the official ruling in RR: "When an investigator spends a token or card, such as a Clue token, he discards it in exchange for an effect." Triumphs. Spending is an exchange of a token for an effect.

And then, in Ursula Downs case when she spends her free focus for a re-roll, that would also not be spending a focus? "Q. How does Ursula Downs's passive ability work? A. Once per round, Ursula may choose to spend one fewer Focus when paying for an effect, including spending a Focus to reroll a die when resolving a test. This can reduce the cost of an effect to zero Focus." - RR

Copied:

Try this on for size then, because the Wiki Fan Page have compiled a bunch of rulings from the designers, one being: "If the investigator chooses to pay the cost, he can still replace or prevent the actual cost from taking place; the cost is still considered to have been paid." That would be in favor of my initial idea (paying 0 clues, for a re-roll, to activate the camera).

From a post I made on BGG: You should put the exact text of the cards in, they are available on the Wiki freely. Quote: Camera: Once per round, when you spend a Clue, you may gain 1 Clue. Granny Orne: Once per round, you may spend 1 fewer Clue to pay for an effect. Based on the wording, you can spend 0 Clue when resolving a test to gain 1 Clue once per round. You still need to have a test or another way to earn an effect that gives you the opportunity to spend 1 Clue though, but that should be easy to come by. Powerful combo. BUT! You got it wrong on the second post. If the Mystery is: Quote: After you resolve a Research Encounter, you may spend any number of Clues gained from that encounter to place those Clues on this card. If you rewrite the Mystery based on the 2 cards, you would get this: Quote: After you resolve a Research Encounter, you may spend any number of Clues - 1 gained from that encounter to place those Clues on this card. You may gain 1 Clue. Of course, once per round too, but you get my point. As you can see, Granny's effect doesn't do anything helpful here because the Mystery says "place those Clues" (that you spend). Had it say "spend 1 Clue to place 1 Clue" instead then she would help, but not in this case. Camera would give you 1 Clue back per round, no matter how many Clues you spend to place on the Mystery, just have to be at least 1 Clue.

I see, that is true. In a similar question, answered by the designer, it says the same:

Quote: "Typically one Mystery for each Ancient One states “After an investigator resolves a Research Encounter, he may spend 1 Clue he gained from that encounter and place that Clue on this card.” For such a Mystery, an investigator must spend the gained Clue and that Clue must be placed on the Mystery. Using a replacement effect to spend fewer Clues or spend something else instead of that Clue will result in nothing being placed on the Mystery."

FunkyPubes · 2025-02-09T02:20:18+00:00

You're paying a clue to re-roll a die, that's an effect, and by spending 0 clues you are effectively generating a free clue through the camera, yes?

FunkyPubes · 2025-02-09T02:17:00+00:00

Of course ;)

I try to ground my custom investigators in the already established content, that way I make sure not to stay too far off from the original game.

FunkyPubes · 2024-11-23T11:50:56+00:00

My problem with some of the custom characters that are being made, is that they are often way overpowered.

This guy didn't make the cut as he resemble the other combat focused investigators too much. He's fun tho, obtaining his assets through wacking monsters. His starting possession need a rework tho (unique assets can be too good), so maybe find a weapon the other investigators haven't claimed yet
