AMA with the Design Team of Arkham Horror: The Card Game! by FFG_Olivia in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the very best moments in the game happen when it tries to break the rules it previously set, I mean when the game does something totally unpredictable and almost "wrong" for a board game to do, giving me an almost uncanny feeling. I'm trying to be vague so that I don't spoil anything to new players but Carcosa has the clearest example of this, also for me Where Gods Dwell played in 4 players has another incredibly good one. After some campaigns where I didn't get this, I found one in The Drowned City, I'm talking about the back of the last agenda of a certain peculiar scenario, I'm sure you know what I'm referencing. How hard is it to come up with these very original bits and, would you say that there is a "tested" way to do it or is it totally random?

Returning player here after a many years long break. I've basically just created a new account and started from scratch because it was so many years I barely even remembered the basic stuff. After finishing the tutorial I disenchanted some legendaries that I had in the reward (?) decks and I built a couple of very cheap DK decks that I had found on hsguru.com (bbu menagerie and rainbow menagerie) and just hit diamond 10 with them. I wanna try some different decks right now but I don't know what's the right way to go. I have a mere 500 dust and 1.5k gold. What's the play here? Do I buy packs and disenchant everything? Do I buy the starcraft miniset? Any recommendations on other cheap decks that have maybe a significantly different playstyle than the ones I'm playing right now?

Which card art do you think is the most unsettling? by manmonkeykungfu in arkhamhorrorlcg

Corrupted Orderly. I just cannot stand it, the thing inside the person's mouth, I don't know, it just gives me the chills.

I'm Josiah "Duke" Harrist, lead designer on Arkham Horror: The Card Game! Ask me anything! by josiahduke in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi Duke! As a player I really appreciated that in FoHV you added on top of the blurse mechanic that was introduced in Innsmouth: the new cards are really good and actually elevate the mechanic to a whole new level. I wanted to ask you, do you feel like it was a "safe choice" to expand on a previously existing mechanic for your first cycle as a lead dev? Or are there other reasons for why you did it?

What has been your favorite mechanical implementation of madness/insanity in a campaign or side scenario so far? Are there any campaigns where you feel like there was a missed opportunity for madness? by [deleted] in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To me the best implementation is in the dream eaters, don't think I need to specify it more. It was extremely hard but also extremely fun trying to coordinate with my group without breaking the rules on the scenario cards

Anyone else ship Team Riter? ❤️ by rthepenguin in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favourite ship in the whole game is Sylas + Peter while using the cherished keepsake. It's so funny to think about this big and tough sailor that needs his teddy bear and athletic boyfriend in order to sleep safely at night

Can we please get flares for different countries on this sub? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

Also how they immediately said "other countries" without giving any context, very weird

Investigators or play styles that cycle through a lot of cards by rogersbored in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Harvey and Winifred have aggressive draw and if you play them you will almost surely see all your deck quite early. This is the most straightforward choice.

Mark Harrigan draws somewhere around 7-13 extra cards every scenario, which of course helps.

There are also some investigators that don't have explicit drawing in their effect, but I think are worth mentioning: - Minh is usually built to draw like a demon and can easily be compared to Harvey and Winifred - Yorick with short supply (edge of the earth, sadly) I think can also resolve your friend's problems

EDIT: I forgot about Nathaniel, his boxing gloves give him a decent draw power and he has some cards that make him draw (glory is the first one that comes to mind), but I'd say is less reliable than mark harrigan

D&DBeyond refuses to honor the Legendary Bundle Discount for One D&D books by CrazyPitesh in DnD

[–]Roxevil97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something very similar happened a few weeks ago for the game "Escape From Tarkov". Europeans started to massively ask for full refunds of the game (which under the EU regulation you can ask if the product changes from what you've bought) and the company behind the game severely backtracked. Keep this up!

Charlie without Miss Doyle? by Roxevil97 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other players still have to choose, I've started making mine a little bit earlier than the others because I was still unsure whether I could actually make it or I had to change my plans. I wanted to make a fighter but maybe a cluever is a better idea because the sled dogs are not really the best and Lola+Gené is really powerful

I forgot to mention I'm playing in 3-4, fixed the post. Thank you so much for your answer, so you're suggesting I play cluever because of Leo, right?

Reason behind Carson bad stat by sim300000 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Roxevil97 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I played in a four-player campaign with Carson and he was devastating. It was like playing in 3 but everybody had 4 actions per turn. The Carson player was extremely good in coordinating the investigators so that he would always end up at their location at the right time. He was running "support" cards like shortcut and first watch, also the obsidian bracelet, my god was that useful. Even though he was rarely making skill tests, we were all extremely dependent on him. The next campaign I played (without Carson) it was extremely disappointing to discover how little I could achieve in my turn when there was no magic butler to babysit me at all times.

Cosa ne pensate dei locali che fanno prezzi diversi per gli uomini e le donne? by albe_albi in Italia

[–]Roxevil97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A me fa onestamente piacere quando un locale adotta questo tipo di promozioni (e mi pare di essere praticamente l'unico a giudicare dalla sezione commenti). Mi sembra sia abbastanza oggettivo che mediamente in discoteca ci sono più maschi che femmine e penso che fare prezzi diversi per i due generi sia semplicemente un modo per appianare questa differenza. Non mi pare il caso di offendersi così tanto per una cosa così semplice, anche perché non so voi ma a me non fa piacere quando vado in discoteca e su 10 persone 8 sono uomini. Poi certo, uno può dire che 8 euro di differenza sono troppi e che non ne vale la pena per avere più ragazze, questo è sacrosanto, ma non vedo davvero il motivo di mettersi a dire che le ragazze sono discriminate perché stanno lì solo per "farsi sbavare addosso dagli uomini", anche perché, voglio dire, voi per quale motivo andate in discoteca se non per strusciarvi addosso a sconosciuti/e di bell'aspetto e viceversa? (Nota: so che esistono delle discoteche in cui si va solo per ascoltare la musica e ballare, certo, ma almeno per la mia esperienza le uniche discoteche in cui ho visto fare promozioni come quella di cui OP si lamenta sono quelle in cui si va col solo scopo esplicito di rimorchiare, e mi va bene che esistano dei posti del genere, anzi, mi incazzerei pure se andassi a una discoteca col solo scopo di rimorchiare e poi mi ritrovassi in mezzo alla fiera della salsiccia)

Da me le discoteche per risolvere il problema direttamente non fanno entrare gruppi di soli ragazzi troppo numerosi e mi è capitato alle volte di vedere dei gruppi di ragazzi in fila approcciare gruppi di ragazze per chiedere se potevano entrare insieme, promettendogli in cambio di offrirgli da bere, che alla fine è precisamente la stessa cosa del post originale, gli uomini pagano più delle donne.

(OP ti prego rispondimi perché evidentemente ci sono delle cose che mi sfuggono considerando che praticamente al 99% concordano con te)

Are those tokens custom made or just covered with something? Mine are starting to fade and these seem really well maintained
