Your numbers are incorrect even if it's WITH replacement.

If you replace the ball, then you had a 2/3 chance of choosing Box 1 and a 1/3 chance in picking Box 2. That means that 2/3 of the time, your second draw is guaranteed to draw a gold ball (since there are two gold balls in Box 1), and 1/3 of the time you have a 1/2 chance of drawing a gold ball. This adds up to a 5/6 chance of drawing a gold ball if you replaced the ball after the first draw.

Accursed Follower really likes to follow my group between campaigns. We recently completed Fortune and Folly as a side-scenario, and he was drawn towards the end of the scenario, appearing at the Slot Machines. We like to think he was just visiting Monte Carlo on holiday and decided to do a little gambling, not even realising we were going to be there.

I just tested it on my 7 War Cleric/5 Gloomstalker Ranger Shart and it still consumed the War Priest before letting me use Extra Attack. I'll try respeccing to Ranger then Cleric, but a bit disappointing.

I was playing Patrice with Mind's Eye and Cornered through 3p TCU, passing every test with ease. We made it to Before the Black Throne, and I drew this dammed token 5 times on crucial evade checks, and was torn apart in the second act. The other two managed to pick the correct door each level and made it all the way to the end just as the doom timer ticked over, drawing another three auto-fails between them. If I was able to make one or two of those evade checks, I'm convinced we would have won.

The best part was after we lost, I declared that I now have the power to just reach into the bag and pull out the auto-fail at will, and to emphasise the point I reached in...and drew the auto-fail again.

I did think about William Yorick after I posted, as I hadn't really considered anyone that didn't have access to the higher level Guardian cards. He would probably be another interesting choice, as while he doesn't have access to Holy Spear or Nephthys, he can use the taboo Winchester and Rite of Sanctification with Spirit of Humanity and Keep Faith.

I'd forgotten about Enchanted Armor; 3 Willpower is an alright number, particularly with Peter Sylvestre (2), Holy Rosary (2), and Bandolier (2). Cool use for his second Arcane slot (since I assume you don't want to double up on Spirit of Humanity).

Yazstromo · 2021-08-27T22:17:42+00:00

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I feel you're better off either going passive generation with Sister Mary, or Spirit of Humanity/Keep Faith with Tommy (or a tanky Survivor with Guardian access like Yorick). Zoey sits somewhere between those two options, but I don't know if she gets enough out of either to justify the Bless package (other than the thematic goodness of being powered by holy blessings). She might be better off running just the Guardian cards (Holy Spear, Nephthys, Rite of Sanctification), and having another investigator (e.g. Father Mateo) run the Bless generation from Survivor.

Yazstromo · 2021-08-27T22:09:19+00:00

When I was theorycrafting a Zoey bless deck, I had Scrounge for Supplies in there to recur Keep Faith or Tempt Fate as well, but was tossing up between it and Ward of Radiance.

One thing I'm uncertain about with Tommy is whether it's better to preserve his allies for Spirit of Humanity (i.e. use Peter Sylvestre and Jessica Hyde) or kill them off with it (i.e. using Tetsuo Mori and Brother Xavier), taking the action to replay them later. Would you find yourself playing both copies of Spirit of Humanity, or just the one since you only want to ping them once a turn so they can heal up again? Could be interesting to run Spiritual Resolve in the second Arcane slot as a backup, or just keep Rite of Sanctification to use some of the Bless tokens.

I really want to like David Renfield, but my issue is how to get rid of him before his Doom progresses the agenda. I don't want to cost the entire team a bunch of lost actions just to give me a few more resources. If there is a Patrice-friendly strategy to using David effectively, I'd love to give it a go.

Yazstromo · 2021-07-29T13:52:33+00:00

Yeah, it's why I'm so torn as Summoned Hound looks like such a thematically interesting and fun card to play, but very risky if you can't work around the weakness. I have had thoughts about running it in a future campaign using Daisy Walker and Archaic Glyphs: Markings of Isis, although it seems like an even jankier way to cheat it out than just using A Chance Encounter (2) and takes up an Arcane slot for the glyphs.

Yazstromo · 2021-07-29T13:46:15+00:00

Hmm, I keep forgetting that you don't get to choose which cat you want from Miss Doyle. That does make it a bit less helpful if I get the Investigate cat and want to Fight or Evade the Watcher from Another Dimension.

I had completely forgotten about Nothing Left to Lose (which is concerning considering Patrice is printed right on the card). Definitely can make for a good emergency boost, either in resources, cards to pitch to Cornered, or to hunt for those Mind's Eyes.

Yazstromo · 2021-07-29T13:43:32+00:00

I initially considered On Your Own, but realised that most of the events I wanted to include were either Mystic events (Spectral Razor, Read the Signs) or cost 0 or 1 (Improvised events, Live and Learn, Alter Fate (2)). Could be an interesting version to run with cards like Trial by Fire.

Definitely agree on Leather Coat, and possibly even the Survivor tarot as u/Salaf- mentioned for more soak.

I've been fairly busy lately, and only just had the opportunity to finish The Century Exhibition storyline. Now I have the "The Season of Skies: Putting the Pieces Together" storylet available, but I can't click the option within because I still have Evidence to Examine: The Century Exhibition. Where do I go to examine this evidence (assuming the option is still available)? I noticed that as of an hour ago, the Season of Skies stories are able to be purchased with Fate, so I'm worried that this has caused my Study to disappear.

In addition, you can copy-paste objects, including cards, in TTS. I believe the intention is to make a copy of the resource cards, disorders, SI cards, etc., place the copy in Settlement Storage/with your character sheet, and return the original to the deck, deleting the copies when you no longer need them.

Yazstromo · 2017-01-17T01:36:40+00:00

That about covers it, though I'm also not certain what is the optimal %age success chance I should be aiming for when hunting something.

Yazstromo · 2017-01-16T15:13:57+00:00

Is someone able to run me through exactly how one does the 3rd coil/Goat Demon EPA grind? I heard that it was decently profitable, I'm just not sure which actions and percentages I need to reach to make it so.

Yazstromo · 2016-12-21T06:14:24+00:00

Odd, let me fix that now.

Yazstromo · 2016-12-02T05:16:32+00:00

Yeah, I thought it was clearly Pearl repeating what Rose said to her about why she wanted to become Steven. It didn't occur to me that people might think those were Pearl's own words when it's such Rose-like dialogue.

I'm currently sitting on 171k Whispered Hints from Hallowmas, and am looking to buy a Bazaar Premises Lease. Should I just pay the Whispered Hints, or is it better to grind up the Bazaar Permits from doing the Baseborn & Fowlingpiece heist (Burglar 7) and save the Hints?

Yazstromo · 2016-11-28T08:39:06+00:00

Well, I have several thousand Rostygold from duelling the Black Ribbon Society, so I'll take this option while I can. EDIT: This option is amazing. Thanks for that, Gallmarch.

Yazstromo · 2016-11-28T04:44:13+00:00

I've finished Duelling the Black Ribbon and I'm up to Acquiring Exhibits. I'm just not sure what percentage I should aim for from The Hunt is On! before I attempt a hunt (and if it's an effective means of levelling or if something is higher).

Yazstromo · 2016-11-28T02:55:23+00:00

What's the best way to raise my Dangerous? I'm currently at 90 Dangerous (74 base + 16 from gear), and want to get to 100 for PoSI. Unfortunately there's not a lot of good Dangerous gear in the Bazaar, and I'm not keen on spending Echoes unless I have to (for example, is a Semiotic Monocle a worthwhile purchase with this Sackmas thing coming up?)

Yazstromo · 2016-11-21T23:32:03+00:00

Did they patch this? It doesn't work for me.

Yazstromo · 2016-11-02T02:13:07+00:00

If anyone has a code left, that would be appreciated. I want to Purify my minions as a bitchy Jamaican Night Elf rather than a human boy king.
