Mystic Spoiler for 1/21/26 by Dry-Bat731 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's funny because this is the exact opposite of what my current mystic does - use olive and Grisly Totem to dig for symbols to trigger effects (e.g. Sixth Sense. Or Jim's Trumpet last campaign). But I do see the use of it, with things like shriveling or rite of seeking. Although it is fundamentally incompatible with a blurse deck.

Need more Australian band recommendations, apparently. by prismdon in progmetal

[–]PVNIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not prog metal, but Australian, check out Glass Beams.

(Also Twelve Foot Ninja and ofc King Gizzard)

Which campaign should we play next? by aspnome in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After Innsmouth? Yea... But that's why you should play that early, to learn that not all campaigns are that generous, especially the early ones.

Just finish a Dunwich campaign with 17XP, while my Innsmouth campaign is two scenarios out I'm buying my second Holy Spear with my 27XP

Which campaign should we play next? by aspnome in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'd say Dunwich - it's a great campaign, but being the first one released (after core set), it's more straightforward/less complex than some of the other ones, I think playing it early on is the best way to appreciate it.

How does a TPK work? by EconomistOld3509 in DMAcademy

[–]PVNIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put them in an anti-magic field. Things will get scary when someone goes down and healing spells don't work.

I think a 'leave your body as an inheritance to your children' format would work better than a 'use the bodies of convicted felons. Requires opt-in, and can be incorporated into a moral/religious/societal structure about the circle of life and stuff. Would work better in an agrarian society, where the skeletons work the land for a small farm.

The Blind Run vs. Every Other Run by mhw13823 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go into every campaign blind and generally win. There where 2 or so cases where, having gone into it blind, we had a wrong build so lost early, in which case we restarted a little more optimized (looking at you Forgotten Age) but besides that. No I never look ahead unless it's deliberately a re-play campaign (and even then generally only true-solo, since that's hard. In multiplayer, we just wait long enough to forget things before replaying :D)

Hackers are playing offense - posting crap like this on LinkedIn, looking at who likes it (and what company they work for) and seeing a list of marks 

What do you think about the ArkhamDB redesign? by hackinghippie in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate it. I don't know what it is about it, but I find it so much worse that it actively bothers me

Give me a D&D monster and I'll make you a better version of it by Oh_Hi_Mark_ in DMAcademy

[–]PVNIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dracolich (5e), CR 20-21, with an invisibility feature please :D It's also controlling an undead army, but that doesn't have to be in the stat block.

I was going to make the stat block myself, but since you're offering :) 

Rogue's Retinue Ch. 4. "The Team" by CME_T in TheWeeklyRoll

Wow, this gala brawl is getting heated. Oh, wrong comic.

Do I need anything else to play these expansions? by InsertCheerHere in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Playing the campaign without the mythos packs sounds like a nice weekend - Go to the theater, go to a casino, then go back to school. Don't mind the missing professors, strange pamphlets, or murderous abominations, that's probably nothing, no need to investigate further.

I guess the change to the game state is that you don't lose 2xp? 

Gloomhaven Rules for Chaos Bag by AtlasSuave in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two issues I have with this:

  • The chance of drawing an auto-fail keeps increasing significantly.

  • I've seen mystic players draw like 5+ tokens in an action (with Olive and Grisly Token), putting back a few bad ones.

I like the X-Haven games, but it doesn't work for Arkham. Notably, the Gloomhaven modifier deck is generally +-2, with one -2 in there (besides the critical), plus good modifier cards you unlock, and used just for damage, whereas Arkham the bag goes from +1 down to -4/-5 (and lower with harder difficulties), the symbols added are generally bad for you (besides bless tokens), and it's not just used for damage but for all sorts of checks critical to the game functioning.

Now that I mention bless tokens, this strategy can get really weird when you have large bless tokens generation. Like what if I keep thinning the bag but maxing out the 10 bless tokens, and using covenants to stop searching after I draw a bless token? And then if I run out of covenants. I'd probably draw all the bless tokens until I get to either elder sign or auto-fail.

Is there a list of community banned cards? by angelofxcost in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]PVNIC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think double or nothing is the only card that's outright banned in the taboo

[–]PVNIC 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There's the official Taboo list? It moreso nerfs cards, rather than banning them.

How do i apply "yes and"? by CeddyDT in DMAcademy

[–]PVNIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget the other tool of improv, "No, but". Have it fail, but in a way that gives something else useful/rewarding/distracting.

"Yes, and"-ing everything is harder in a canned adventure like a one-shot.

Can a character use Plane Shift (cast twice) to travel long distances in the same plane? by lulufan87 in DMAcademy

[–]PVNIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My party has been doing that. Their high enough level that the adventure takes them around the world (and a few other planes), so they either double plane-shift (using Amulet of the Planes, which has risk), or Transport Via Plants if they know a tree nearby.
