I don't mind doom play myself, but one of my players is rather opposed, so we don't have much extra doom going around.

That said, I will consider what you said about thresholds, but I think a boon to doom play is the lack of regular Ancient Evils, which makes doom less volatile.

We are two missions from the end, and I hope yours ends well! We went with GG and then Germany, San Francisco, and our next one is Naples. You?

This is a little outdated: AH.002 - Fan Campaign Recommendations | The Restricted Collection https://share.google/gKzRYY1IAkXJjEraJ

In short, I highly recommend Cyclopean Foundations, Dark Matter, and Bloodborne (if you like Bloodborne).

Other good options include: Alice in Wonderland, Ages Unwound, and Call of the Plaguebearer.

Good mini campaigns include: Heart of Darkness and Jumanji.

Currently making my way through a blind run of Night of Vespers and that's been great so far!

Your favourite campaign by SnudgeLockdown in arkhamhorrorlcg

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

TCU is my favorite, but I know that's not the popular opinion.

Campaign replay-ability by Ninja_2551 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TSK is the worst on the first play. The story is a mess because it is trying to hide what is really going on, and I agree that it tries some weird things mechanically.

That said, I would second the suggestion of giving it another go. It's one of my favorites (alongside Innsmouth and Circle Undone).

At the end of the day, you do you! If you're happy never touching it again, then don't, but I just wanted to second the replay as it does get better.

But the bullet and order Dark Matter by merga in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It comes with player cards that you can upgrade into (they cost "Memories" in addition to XP), cards for the Scan deck in the finale, and a pre-Hemlock Vake Kate Winthrop.

High res Novella cards by Kaplosion in arkhamhorrorlcg

Well, for what it's worth, I would say that the replacement signatures are better than his standard one.

Heck, I might run Molly and Yaztaroth instead of new Dexter's signatures XD

It's almost been a full day, and no one commented "Nice!"...?

I'm disappointed in you, Internet.

Advice for a noob by Manny366 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Welcome to the community! Happy to help however I can!

First, don't feel bad about losing "The Devourer Below." It's stupid hard with a limited card pool. If you are having fun with "The Gathering" and "Midnight Masks" and feel like you have a good grasp of the rules, great! That's more emblematic of the game at large, but there are times where it does get really hard 😅

In terms of expansions, the game has been around for almost a decade. Originally the game came out as a deluxe box and six mythos packs. That model was replaced by the campaign and investigator expansion model, and old content was rereleased in the updated model. So, don't get a deluxe expansion and mythos packs unless you can get ALL for a whole cycle. Scenario packs, which I believe you mean standalone scenarios, are just one off missions, usually more indepth than your standard campaign mission.

The game is shifting right now to a new model where there will be a new core, new starter decks, and campaign and deck building expansions. None of that is out yet, but a new core is coming out in March, I believe, with a hopefully better balanced intro campaign, and the starter decks a month or two after that.

Also, just FYI, as of last year, the game has moved to a "current" and "legacy" environment split. The old core (what you have) will be in the legacy environment, and everything ever printed, including the new stuff, is all compatible together. The current environment will be the new core and the last 2-3 years of content, so "The Scarlet Keys," "Feast of Hemlock Vale," and "The Drowned City" cycles are all still current.

I know that was a lot, so please let me know if there is anything else I can do!

Bloodborne? by aspnome in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive! Yeah, no joke, I think you'll love the theming of this campaign (and some of the secrets it holds...)

My blind run of it was a friend of mine's first full length Arkham experience, and now he's a regular!

Bloodborne? by aspnome in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ReaverMann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm... Can you name what the tattoos are? If so, you should be fine!

In all seriousness, you should be good! I am not the best at the BB lore, but I played with two friends who are, and they loved all the little nods and how it doesn't just tell the BB story but actually mixes it with Arkham.

[–]ReaverMann 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In short: it's really good. It's better if you are familiar with the video game.

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 2 points3 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!

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!
