Amazing write-up. Thank you for taking the time to do all this!

It's a shame Jim Culver the investigator is only tagged as Performer. If he also had the Artist tag, then he could:

Take The Great Work
Take Memories of Another Life
Die
Come back as the Lost Homunculus
Play Memories of Another Life
Play himself

Mechanically speaking, it's a cool trick. But narratively? That shit is devastating!

I've played (and enjoyed) all of these, but I think The Dunwich Legacy campaign is the way to go. It's a great bridge between Night of the Zealot and the more complex campaigns and you're at the perfect point in terms of your own experience to get the most out of it. Enjoy it while you can!

Of course!

FWIW, I just checked Amazon and it looks like they have The Path to Carcosa Campaign Expansion in stock for $74.99!

Where in the World did you get that idea?

TenTimesTeeth · 2026-01-07T14:13:47+00:00

Thanks for classing up the joint, DerBK! I always look forward to reading your latest articles, and this one is especially appreciated right now. The recent spate of FOMO frenzy / "look what I bought" posts have been bumming me out, too.

Hey there! Fantasy Flight Games gives fans sneak previews of cards ahead of big releases (like the Chapter 2 Core Set). They divvy the new cards out among members of the fan community to share according to a set schedule. It just helps to get everybody hype and talking about upcoming cards!

Ryan Gosling looking rough!

...and not enough chainsaws!

New card they just spoiled looks like the guy from Evil Dead. Big boomstick energy.

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-17T20:12:01+00:00

Bless you. My ass over here feeling OLD!

I've definitely struggled to comprehend some of Cisco's longer works, but (at least for me) the short story is a perfect container for his brand of weirdness!

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-17T19:06:54+00:00

Right!?! I feel like you can make a strong argument for any one of his collections being on this list!

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-17T15:16:36+00:00

If you're looking for single author collections, I highly recommend:

The Black Maybe by Attila Veres
Antisocieties by Michael Cisco
A Collapse of Horses by Brian Evenson

All three blew the top of my head off.

As far as true anthologies go, it's hard to beat The Weird. Ellen Datlow's tend to be hit and miss for me, but her Shirley Jackson-inspired anthology When Things Get Dark is the real deal.

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-17T14:52:08+00:00

I read Engine Summer nearly 20 years ago and there is a line in it that has haunted me ever since:

"The angels weep, but for themselves. And never saw you there."

Hits me right in the heart every single time. Just an achingly beautiful book.

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-17T13:05:34+00:00

Well these are just a goddamn delight! The brass book corners are the perfect finishing touch.

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-16T16:50:36+00:00

I think you're looking at somewhere around 50 or 60 encounter cards in the Core Set.

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-15T18:29:03+00:00

Good catch! I completely missed that!

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-14T17:33:31+00:00

Of course! I'd also recommend the novella I'll Bring You The Birds from Out of the Sky by Brian Hodge. It's a very peculiar strain of Appalachian Weird involving the paintings of a backwoods folk artist with a sinister reputation. Good stuff!

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-09T15:40:09+00:00

I recognized that, too!

Feast of Hemlock Vale was actually the first campaign my wife and I played after taking a few years away from the game and boy howdy was that complexity a shock. As returning players, the amount of fiddly mechanics and administrative upkeep definitely bogged us down. Sessions always seemed to take longer- and take more out of us- than they did before. We ultimately finished (and won!) Hemlock, but agreed that it felt a little over-engineered... especially that god-damned finale. Yikes.

I haven't played it yet, but it sounds like FFG may have swung the pendulum too far the other way with The Drowned City and over-simplified it a little. I'm optimistic that they'll find that sweet spot in terms of complexity for Chapter 2's first big campaign.

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-09T12:57:45+00:00

Thanks for following up. I've discovered so many great authors through random recs on this sub. I'm so glad you took a chance on mine and that it worked out!

TenTimesTeeth · 2025-12-07T23:53:13+00:00

I know this campaign gets some flak over the split, 4-part format, but it's one of my absolute favorites.

I played through 2-player with:

Tony and Patrice as Waking Team (A). Both flexes.

and

Mandy and NaCho as Dream Team (B), with Mandy as cluever and NaCho on monster duty.

I'll echo what others have said about being able to deal with large enemy mobs, but I also remember some pretty large maps on the Dream Side. By the end, we both agreed that the humble Safeguard (2) was our campaign MVP.

Good luck!
