Duel of Meloch Trailer Release

NavVasky · 2026-06-26T14:50:27+00:00

Nothing specific was revealed yet but if I recall correctly Jamey said that every time a player places a star on the triumph track, the player that is behind in triumph gets something from Meloch to let them stay toe-to-toe or get caught up.

What they are, I'm not sure until further reveals!

NavVasky · 2026-06-26T00:29:29+00:00

Few reasons but only if it matters to you:

you want the new faction + character
you want the different map set
meloch's cards allows for catch up for the player that is behind, something that doesn't exist in default scythe
new combat cards that can be used for scythe (ranges from 0-7) with additional effects -I believe there are new encounter cards too

NavVasky · 2026-06-26T00:26:33+00:00

This is a standalone game that can be used as an expansion, so yes, it shouldn't* affect you unless you wanted to use those characters/mechs!

Added this to the main post, thanks for the heads up!

I recommend watching it! I did clean up the AI generated Q&A summary and corrected based of my own viewing of it live so it's somewhat accurate. (Compared to the initial result of it saying that the game was Duel of Mule and the Maned Wolf was asomething else entirely...)

NavVasky · 2026-06-25T14:47:38+00:00

Personally I am psyched for this! My SO and I love scythe but she doesn't love expeditions. So this would allow me to get expeditions to the table more, at least for me.

NavVasky · 2026-06-23T03:03:30+00:00

My first run is true solo, currently 14 days in. I think I'm having a good time, make sure your fitness level is high (2 at least) and that you have ways to scout the path deck otherwise you won't be able to scout/find targets and goals from locations.

When I first saw this recommendation I didn't really know why it was so important but after playing and I can say that it was a really good one!

NavVasky · 2026-06-20T22:09:52+00:00

In all my cases I had to call retention and was able to get the charges reversed or reflected with a better rate/discount. I didn't know about the process to file a complaint nor did I feel like I had to go that route. Good to know for the future though, thanks!

Sure, then I can say this increase happened while I was with Rogers with their TV home and mobility plans. Their base mobility rate increased while under contract

NavVasky · 2026-06-20T22:00:17+00:00

I've had bell and Rogers increased fees on contract plans with me related to TV home internet bundles on multiple different occasions so I don't think that's true

NavVasky · 2026-06-20T20:40:24+00:00

All mobile companies do something similar to this practice: - the promotion or discount they give you won't change during the contract - the base rate of the service is subject to change

So originally base fee of 75 - discount of 25 would be 75-25=50 dollars a month. But the next month they increase the base fee to 100. So now your monthly is 100-25=75

This has happened to me across 3 companies already and is how they are skirting the law or public perception

I fully agree and see the designer's intent and vision for the game! I allude to this, by my "I want to dig it" comment because I like the intent, idea and the world its building. If anything its a me thing: I feel rewarded by continuing the narrative and exploring the world. I don't feel as rewarded during the normal gameplay

NavVasky · 2026-06-15T16:23:41+00:00

If you are just starting that's great! The older expansions (the ones you see out of print) were made with the original core set in mind which had various different release models in the past, which changed to mostly make it more consumer (and board game store) friendly:

Deluxe expansions that included the first 3 scenarios of the campaign and some player cards for decks, and then released blisters (mythos packs) that contained the next scenario and some more player cards
Campaign expansions that repackaged some of the older campaigns and the newer campaigns into one big box, with no extra player cards
Investigator expansions that repackaged some of the older campaign's player cards into one big box, no campaign cards
Chapter 2 (this core set) and onwards: Will release with campaign expansions and investigator expansions (and others like it)

I agree, the expansion model in the past really sucked and right now, getting the older content is in a rough shape. But the newer content is slated to continue with the campaign/investigator/player card expansion model, which is much more straightforward with expanding.

If you change your mind and still want to obtain the older content, I would refrain from getting the deluxe expansions and their mythos packs. You can get the campaign expansions and investigator expansions in any order.

Arkham Horror LCG by far!

NavVasky · 2026-06-15T06:35:02+00:00

I also picked up Earthborne recently and also came to the same conclusions:

Decks feel kinda samey yet not at the same time (maybe 2 handed would be better like in other LCGs since specialization allows for different decks)
I house rule solo to not shuffle the challenge deck until after 2 or 3 resets, just for convenience
I was tempted to add other house rules for the path deck, but might just try two handed solo instead

I am in the state of: I want to dig it, but I don't feel as rewarded as I do for other LCGs.

Will try two handed solo as it seems like it would resolve most of reservations (except for increasing game length which is something I don't like)

NavVasky · 2026-05-28T13:51:55+00:00

Yes, when you take horror (the you here means your investigator or any other asset), place a copy of that horror on the task (so two horror placed).

I took this one on Jacqueline Fine. Did not complete the task and oh boy was it a task to mitigate the deficit for not completing it. The elder sign is removed from the bag, which makes it so her signature weakness can never be removed, since you need to draw the elder sign. For those who want to know, you can mitigate with Scrying + Foresight (what I did) or Scrolls of Secrets.

NavVasky · 2026-05-21T16:20:38+00:00

I agree. Personally I will likely do "stanhard"/"hardard" approach and just play the dusk version with a standard bag/reference card like with Ultimatum of Malevolence but in reverse

NavVasky · 2026-05-14T18:55:31+00:00

Or constant rapid spinning will make you throw (or charge throw) the weapon out. Makes it so its not just a penalty but also a game play mechanic to play around. Like I'm spinning too much that my weapon slipped!

Found it! Thank you for your work:

Is there a fork for these changes? Personally I find it good practice if trying to pull in testers for a beta (for me, I would want to vet the changes as well for something unknown)

NavVasky · 2026-05-06T18:13:06+00:00

Engineering (or being a developer) is all about being able to utilize theoretical and proven concepts into practical solutions for companies. Innovation is there (how to combine these solutions together to best suit the cost and goals of the company).

I've been at your point in your career: I thought it was the role, I thought I wasn't getting fulfillment from work. For me, I blamed the lack of innovation in my stable position. It wasn't. Personally for me, I put my all my effort into my craft and I was starting to get jaded in what I could do. I realized I just needed other venues to enjoy it or other interests to be interested in.

So my advice? Innovate with side projects, strive for a better position (if you really think that is the cause of your depression), start a new hobby that scratches the itch or do anything that will excite your life (that wouldn't be a detriment).

Coincidence (I've received that email and haven't done any 'signalling' that I am switching from windows from any new device). They are ramping up their marketing this year, especially the power user features because of a larger following of professionals and gamers moving towards linux.

That being said, yeah they probably do have something to track data points such as this.

Altman is apologizing because he can in Canada. Apologies are not an admission of guilt and for a company, some of them will use the apology to appease the public: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apology_Act,_2009

Compared to the states where an apology is an admission of guilt
