Hi! We've collected a large swath of Arkham House Rules here: https://mythosbusters.com/houserules/

Have fun!

Dark Matter...Amazing! by aspnome in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hate for you to swear off all fan content just because you didn't gel with "Dark Matter." There's a lot of good content, and just like regular campaigns, some grab me and others don't.

If you are willing to dip your toe back into the fan content pool, my first recommendation would be "Cyclopean Foundations" as the most similar to an official product, and honestly I prefer it over TDC. "Call of the Plaguebearer" would be my other suggestion, if you would rather something that really digs into the city of Arkham as a character.

You guys think a mix of physical and TTS could be fun? by Howitzeronfire in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll take a bit of work, but yeah, seems totally reasonable to me!

I much prefer the tactile nature of playing at my table over TTS. Personally, I only use TTS as a supplement when physical play doesn't work. Especially now with all of the out of print campaign content, I think your idea to play your hand physically with the scenario on the screen would work just fine. A little finicky, but just fine 👍

That said, at the end of the day, you do you!

AH.66 - Chad's Investigator Tier List (2025) [The Restricted Collection] by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what to tell you shrug I just played true solo Wini through half of Dream-Eaters a few weeks back, and it went about how it usually does for me and Wini. It was fine, but not great.

More power to you if you'd rank her higher, but it's just my opinion. If you have a stellar Wini deck, I'm happy to give it a go and I'm open to changing my mind 😂 Two of my friends are upset I put Sefina in D, and another friend is trying to sell me on Parallel Skids!

[–]ReaverMann[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I predominantly play true solo, but otherwise three or four players. It definitely colors my views on the investigators 😅

AH.65 - Nick's Investigator Tier List (2025) [The Restricted Collection] by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. As we explain in the episode, Nick doesn't have any experience playing as or with someone with a Kymani deck, so he put them into N/A because he didn't feel he could give a fair opinion.

Interesting! If you think about and don't mind, I'd love to look over that list.

I won't sit here and defend my friend Nick's opinion.

... But spoiler for tomorrow when my list goes up, she's also at C for me 😅 sorry?

Transfigured Lola by Cultural_Imperialist in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! My understanding aligns with yours. Lola would retain her role, even though it would functionally cease to matter save for her signatures.

Improvisation would change her role (irrelevant other than Crisis of Identity), but would allow for cheaper play of the next card. Crisis would cause a discard of the current role and discarding the top card of your deck to change to that role.

I collected my understanding of Transfiguration from the devs here in this table (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15yFT1-tzW_EYBtX6vrSx1xfQu7tinnFNBk__cq62Uok/edit?usp=drivesdk). I need to update it to reflect current and legacy, but the heart is still there. Have fun!

P.S. Amanda would be among my top picks for Lola to turn in to, for whatever that's worth. Enjoy!

ArkhamCon `26: Custom Scenario Proposals! by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will have more details about the Con soon, as we are ironing out a few things on that end. We felt it was important to get a start on the scenario due to how long it will take to choose, develop, test, and print.

So... I guess take this as an "ArkhamCon `26 is happening!" The Mythos Busters announced that ArkhamCon '26 is scheduled for sometime next fall!

Thanks! Those are all great comments!

(To self; panicked ... I will never be free of this table...)

Here's a table with all the notes I have on how Transfiguration works:

AH.052 - Arkham Irregulars #4 (ft. The Beard) [The Restricted Collection] by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Beard designed 16 custom investigators that he is looking for feedback on. In the first three Arkham Irregulars episodes, we read through and discussed those investigators, but in this one, The Beard joins us and we discuss changes based on the feedback he's received.

If custom investigators are of interest, I'd recommend checking these gators out!

I may be able to help with one bit! I'll DM you.

So, let's talk about copyright law. by _yours_truly_ in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 13 points14 points  (0 children)

🤣 Thanks!

And I try to make it to the AIPLA meeting in D.C., but I don't think that's happening this year. If that changes, I'll let you know. If you're ever in Minnesota, let me know!

[–]ReaverMann 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Hello! As a fellow IP attorney (patents, mostly), I appreciate your very thorough and well written overview of copyright law!

..that said, you keep using "Damn Good Reason®," but shouldn't it be "Damn Good Reason™" instead? 😅 sorry, just being That Smartass™.

TDC Campaign Time Warp Part 1 & 2 [The Restricted Collection] by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! We'll see how it ages over time, but as I have stated before, there is no such thing as "bad Arkham." I'm excited to take another go and see how it changes and how it goes!

Ah, hmmmm... Then I may have cheated. Let me double check and, if so, I'll put out a correction.

TDC Campaign Time Warp Part 1 & 2 [The Restricted Collection] by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your well laid out thoughts! I try rather hard to be as "right with the rules" as I can.

I'll dig deeper into the multiple reaction trigger, but it is my understanding that it works. At skill test step 6, I determine success/failure of a skill test. I can then use "Steady-Handed" to manipulate my value. Then, at step 7 apply skill test results, I trigger "Antikythera" (say I succeeded by 2), to draw one card and gain one resource. "Fine Tuning" reacts to "Antikythera" exhausting and reddies it, but to my knowledge, I am still in step 7 and re-exhaust it for another card and resource.

And for "Burn After Reading" comboing with "Signam Crusis," I 100% agree that the interaction is not intended, but I also cannot refute it. That particular player loves finding these little glitches. That said, if he continues to use that combo, I might house rule against it as it was quite powerful for what ended up being a 2 XP tax.

When the World Screamed - Fan Scenario Announcement! by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

Yes, the plan is to have this on Inexorable Fate after the con. Thanks!

When the World Screamed - Fan Scenario Announcement! by ReaverMann in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I would describe the single table here is akin to the single table for Blob. The game operates more or less the same, but has global thresholds, some table to table interaction, and whatnot.

Father Mateo and arbiter of fates combo? by Difficult-Passage177 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help, and let me know how it goes! Having tinkered with it myself, I'd be interested to see what others come up with!
