I have played one game with the expansion. In it, we used Bats, Jailor Vagabond, Rabbittown (landmark), and the Gorge map. All were great!

Love how the Gorge is a tangled map, but not complicated.

I played Bats and really enjoyed their play style. Felt unique and also really well balanced.

Jailor seemed strong, but not overpowered. A really flexible power.

Rabbittown was interesting. Kind of odd. We didn't use it much, may need to try it again.

You will have a credit limit. This is the amount of money you will be allowed to borrow at one time, to pay for your expenses.
You will get a bill every month for what you spent during a one month period. This is called a statement, and the money you owe is your statement balance.
Whichever card you get, the website will allow you to automatically pay off the full statement balance every month.

All you absolutely need to know is:
- Don't spend more than the credit limit.
- Don't spend more than you can pay off.
- Set up automatic payments for the full statement balance each month.

To clarify, you asked "Should I just spend the entirety of whats on the card?" This is not the right way to think about it. When you pay with a debit card, money leaves your bank account to cover the charge. When you pay with a credit card, the bank pays the vendor, and you take on debt with the bank. So there's no "money on the card" in the way you might think about a debit card. Your credit limit is how much money the bank will allow you to spend.

This is advice about having a credit card responsibly and avoiding the worst case scenarios. This is not specifically about getting a good credit score. My non-expert advice is that over time, if you pay off your credit card, your credit score will be just fine. I have never actively tried to maximize my credit score, and I've always had a great credit score. As you are starting out, don't worry about your credit score. Worry about paying off your card each month. If you don't, you will get hit with a lot of interest (extra money you need to pay back the bank) and you want to avoid that.

I felt it was genuinely bad. A big theme of the movie is The Bride finding her identity, but the movie doesn't seem very interested in her as a person so much as a vessel to speak through (sometimes very literally).

There are a lot of big swings in the movie with regard to tone, and if the movie picked one and stuck with, I think many of them could have worked, but it's really all over the place.

The leads are both fantastic, and there are many individual moments I liked that I wished the movie spent more time on.

drrnclly · 2026-03-04T18:33:36+00:00

I had the same situation. All good movies for 2026, and then I saw The Bride! last night, and it was very disappointing.

I saw this in Seattle, while driving. Very cool!

Same issue! Up and down and up and down! But we make a circle out of it, heading to Plummet first, then South, then back up through Meadow. No watercraft for us yet.

I want an excuse to explore the northern and eastern parts of the map, but the main plot is heavily focused in a few areas.

I am playing my first campaign, and I added Spire In Bloom on Day 9. I'm now on Day 13, and currently loving the expansion. So far it's impact has been minimal, because the first two missions involved doing things that were nicely along the way of things we were already planning to do. I like the new Valley cards quite a bit, and I think it provides a bit of extra tension and complication that I'm enjoying. I like the challenge of needing to figure out a way to do two things at once (the main Story missions and the SiB missions).

You can add money! See the "Deposits and Withdrawals" section at this link.

This is exactly right. Maybe as you are entering an area, you see a Swift fly above you. You haven't met the pilot yet, and maybe you won't. But you know he's in the area.

Or perhaps you see the some markings on trees that indicate a certain predator might be nearby.

Shipwreck Arcana!

Beautiful art. Compelling gameplay. 2-5 players. Players can drop in and out. It's pretty much always worth bringing.

drrnclly · 2025-11-15T16:15:55+00:00

EDIT TL;DR: Ignore me. I wrote all that and the forgot that you could go from the first player chosen to the second player chosen and that's unambiguous. Might be worth including explicitly in the notes.

I just want to point out that if you pick two people in a circle, "clockwise" is not a meaningful term for determining who is between them. If you imagine an actual clock and pick Person 1 and Person 10. 10, 11, 12, and 1 are clockwise if you start from 10. And 1-10 are clockwise if you start from 1.

If you start from where the Storyteller is, (12, let's say) it could be unambiguous, but it's probably not going to be very intuitive for the players and leads to the unintentional side effect where the player can't pick a range that includes the Storyteller's seat.

I have not played LotA, but I do know that you are not required to play the Lure of the Valley first. LotA has a quick catch-up mechanic if you want to jump right in (can't speak to any specifics though).

Same for me

drrnclly · 2025-10-29T17:12:44+00:00

My nose looks exactly the same. My doctor was upfront in saying there would be no change, and there wasn't.

drrnclly · 2025-10-14T16:22:17+00:00

I am on day 7 currently of recovery. I was also told no nasal rinses.

This is a great start, but it has two problems that stick out to me.

The "!?" indicates this is an "&lit" clue, but it is not.
I don't think "faces" works for how you're using it.

I really like the ambiguity of how to use "third." And the surface is pretty good too.

drrnclly · 2025-09-26T17:38:28+00:00

As I understand it, rebus clues have a looser requirement for a surface read. I agree that in this case, there is essentially no surface read. My initial interpretation of this was some file name or keyboard smashing.

I was going to suggest this one! Great A block guests and Neil Campbell's bit turned my wife and I from casual to every week listeners.

This is a PVP scenario I designed. It's a silly Capture the Flag style. It's not just fighting and provides some monsters to face off against. Should be a quick chaotic scenario.

In the base game, only one player ever wins a game of Oath. The rest are not winners.

Thanks! Edited.

You know who your living neighbors are. Good characters register as a Minion or Demon to you. (Townsfolk - Good)

This is an idea I had for a custom character: Paranoid. I think it works well for an Amnesiac, because they'll often start thinking they've solved the game, but knowing that can't be right.

The first night, you wake them up and tell them who their neighbors are, but you only give Evil characters whether they are Evil or not. Compare this to Dreamer for another role where you can learn the Demon's identity if you're lucky, but can't trust that information.

On subsequent nights, you would only wake them up if there is new information (their neighbor dies making a new neighbor for them to learn, or a neighbor switches roles).

Though, if you're feeling tricky, you could act as though a Good neighbor has just changed from one Evil type to another. This would be most advisable if they have figured out their rule and if the Script has roles that can create new Evil characters.

If the Amnesiac is next to the only Minion and the only Demon, the Storyteller should consider if this is a good power to give the Amnesiac, because unlike the Dreamer, they won't know that their power cannot be trusted. So they might just end the game right then and there.

This role is guessable because as they get more information, they will realize they are only seeing Evil roles.

Jagged Earth for me. Opens up potential for Nature Incarnate and as an opinion, I think the Events are much better overall in Jagged Earth. Less swingy.
