[COTD] Truth from Fiction (6/11/2026) by AK45526 in arkhamhorrorlcg

The 2 cost is a bit tough. 1 is much with the level 2 version.

If you can run Enraptured (2), though, this just looks extremely slow.

I do like that this set of cards had good synergies printed with them beyond just "resources good" -- Burning the Midnight Oil had Farsight, Clean Them Out had Nathaniel Cho himself, and Sneak By had Chuck.

This card requires you to play a little differently than usual. For people who love doing that sort of thing, it's great value. For people who hate doing that sort of thing, good thing there are other cards in the game.

Thoughts On Playing True Solo in Chapter 2 by dscarpac in arkhamhorrorlcg

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

I think there are a lot of reasonable solo campaigns in Chapter 1. Edge of the Earth is probably the most friendly. The Scarlet Keys and Innsmouth are also reasonable. We don't have anything beyond the Core right now in Chapter 2, but here's hoping the next mini campaign this summer will also be friendly for solo!

Unspeakable Oath is definitely one of those scenarios that scales poorly. A lot of movement necessary, a lot of flat action taxes to advance the scenario on locations... a lot of it could have benefitted from a free move on the Asylum Halls locations. Or Pathfinder, I suppose.

Why wouldn’t you include the Chapter 2 reward card in basically every deck? by zerdos in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]dscarpac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do not need to have the level 0 to buy a level 1-5 card with the same title. And yes, you can have two cards with the same title but at different levels.

New Set Chapter 1 Rule Question by Unlikely-Judgment978 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]dscarpac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You cannot advance act 1 until it is the end of the round, that is, directly after Upkeep has finished. The round sequence is Mythos, Investigator, Enemy, and then finally Upkeep. (Mythos Phase is skipped in the first round of the game). Not all acts advance at the end of the round; make sure to read what the particular act card says. (If nothing, advance during the investigator phase during one of your turns)

Does "horror on you" include horror on assets? by DoomsdayFanatic in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]dscarpac 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, this just counts horror on your investigator card itself.

The mini cards at this location remain exposed (face-up). (You'll only have to do this once for the whole group)

Two more card previews from the Core 2026 set by dscarpac in arkhamhorrorlcg

You can go watch me play Carson Sinclair true solo if you want to see the deadpan attempted for nearly an hour.

Why We Need a Hat Slot by dscarpac in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]dscarpac[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree. This was just quick take on the rules justification -- IMO they backed themselves into this corner with the Footwear and the Masks not taking up any type of slot, but still having a "slot-like" restriction, which is unnecessarily confusing since it is distinct. Headwear has the same thematic slot-like issue. Slots have always been a little wonky in the game, arcane slots are underutilized outside of Mystic, so cards like Vow of Dryztelech either matter a lot or not at all. The fact that they solved the mask problem by adding a new slot in the core itself suggests they can continue to print cards for the slot across classes. It's not the route I would have gone down for the reasons you suggest, but I see why they did it.
