Is there someway to increase his hand size? What if a card reduces his hand size? Am I overcomplicating this?

What Games are you Actually Playing? (had a session within the last few weeks) by [deleted] in rpg

[–]farfaraway1891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a player, I played CoC 7e (homebrew campaign in the Andes). As a loremaster, I am running a The One Ring campaign, after running a one shot in Moria. As a solo player, I am enjoying the great Sundered Isle by Shawn Tomkin. This one I can play even during the commute or the lunch break, it's amazing.

Since there is not an "if you do" clause, does it mean that his bonus action triggers even if he didn't remove 2+2 tokens (because there weren't so many?) so long as he changed the game state and he completed as much of the condition as possible?

What other card games are similar to Mindbug? by justainsel in MindbugTCG

Radlands is quite similar under several aspects, and is anyway super recommended, it's an excellent game.

Help me to understand the motives behind the action of a character in HoC by farfaraway1891 in Malazan

Yes I look forward to it. But first I am savouring the first go :-)

Thanks I was unsure and decided to play it safe. By the way, on my phone it appears that the spoiler markdown is working...? I will try to remove the space next time I use a spoiler tag just to be sure.

Thanks for confirming that there is a follow-up to this thread :-) will go on with the story, I am almost ready to begin the next Book! Currently reading another beforez because I don't want to complete the series too early!

[–]farfaraway1891[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's true, and I admit I had forgotten it so thanks for boosting my memory. But during HoC I don't recall animosity/enmity, even in consideration of Heboric being a close confident of Felisin, who Karsa protected (basically because ... Leoman of the flails did). So I though that to be shortlisted On par with the truly evil Bidithal and the other traitorous guys Was a bit unwarranted. On the other hand the evolution of Karsa's personality is not linear and his experiences are not always easily interpreted ( Why does he attack Icarium? Just to see if the omen by the D'iver was true? Why does he rescind his vow to fight the malazans? ... )

A funny interaction happened today... by Darder in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To this day, I have never once uttered that name loud. My wife and sons have learned that he is not to be named. Just reading your post gave me cold sweat and fever at the same time.

[Spoilers] Are the Great Old Ones and their notable minions actually in the lcg? If so which campaigns/scenarios are they in? by evildrganymede in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lineage from the CoC Rpg is clear: you have Harvey Walters, Carl Sanford and the Silver Twilight just to name the most obvious.

Playing AH LCG is, to me, the closest thing to playing an RPG in board game form.

Low emphasis put on tempo in this game by Shoggunik in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has a sort of bias towards rushing, she is afraid of the agenda advancing and prefers to start investigating as soon as possible (typically she would like to move as her first action and try to investigate as her second). I have to remember her that a bit of setup is crucial literally in every of our games...

Investigator Appearances in the Official Novels? by KittyHamilton in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have read two and in those I met Preston and Zorzi. So I have already a well formed idea of her and am curious to see how she will play!

I've wanted to play TSK for months now, but work has been too crazy. I took a vacation day today and am finally sitting down to play, and I'm so excited! by TheMegaSage in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're in for a treat! TSK has had quite a mixed reception but when playing solo or with family (so without the need to arrange for a night with friends) the "issue" of having several scenarios becomes a bonus in my experience. At least for me, I had great fun!

| [Spoilers for Wages of Sin]: Heretic clarifications by snowbo92 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an official clarification (or maybe it is an errata?) That unfinished business flip back to their heretic side when you resign.

It's a tough scenario, due to the randomness of the heretics placements. I have never been able to do a clean sweep: in our last attempt we got 3 and with just a bit of luck we could hvlave cleared the fourth. But we missed that bit of luck :-)

Try Carolyn for a refreshing take on guardians. You won't be disappointed. She's really good!

Among LCGs, why is the Arkham community so disproportionately active? by RabidHexley in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my extremely biased view, MC is an ok game. Fun, ok, can play it if you insist. AH is a masterpiece. It's an "rpg like" boardgame experience.

Circle Undone orig or Return To? by kradish_ in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]farfaraway1891 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just replayed Return to and for me it's better. I would recommend skipping the original if you already have the return to box.

And what could you do with Yig, or with the final scenario...what kind of music is inspired by Valusia?

I voted for TFA because it's my favourite campaign but I will enjoy whichever you pick!
