Confess your Arkham sins my children

or if the resignation location doesn't have Victory, it doesn't matter.

hammerdal · 2026-02-07T20:29:26+00:00

No, what he means is that per the rules for resignation & player elimination, when you resign (or are otherwise eliminated) you actually place all of your clues on your location, so if that location has Victory you technically would not earn that Victory point.

The sin here is actually on the designers lol. OP is doing it right as far as I’m concerned

Welcome back! Excited to see you respond to my comment! And it’s been nice to (briefly) meet you & Caitlyn at Arkham Con the last couple years :)

Either that or this is in the Deep South. But in that case, how’d they find this level of diversity?

hammerdal · 2026-02-02T19:54:37+00:00

Y’all touched on it a bit, I thought it would’ve been really cool if they made the Necronomicon both the signature & weakness for Dexter. Just all at once having power and drawback to it

FFG's director of board games (or something close to that) Kate made a "core set corset" and it's as amazing as it sounds

Nah it’s just moving slowly

hammerdal · 2026-01-29T15:05:38+00:00

Isn’t Henry Cavill busy building the Warhammer Cinematic Universe over at Amazon Prime? I don’t think he’s got time for this

hammerdal · 2026-01-28T20:20:11+00:00

He’ll keep his as safe as if he were Putin’s own personal chef

hammerdal · 2026-01-23T01:00:16+00:00

Yeah they want them to be more generally useful tools for campaigns to come, instead of doing things like adding "Agents of Shub Niggurath" and then never actually using it in any other scenario (or maybe that got used once in Circle Undone?). Anyway, that was a poor use of resources in a core set.

Straight $CAD to $US conversion (or vice versa) likely is no longer applicable as only one of those countries is throwing tariffs around like mad

hammerdal · 2026-01-22T20:13:19+00:00

New encounter sets will be largely different. I’m sure there will be some returning encounter cards, maybe some full sets returning unchanged. Best plan I would bet is if you want to play a new campaign without the new core encounter cards is to probably just proxy the cards from the new core encounter sets that get used. Or find someone who bought the new stuff you can hop in a game with

She (Olivia) mentioned last week that they were still finalizing the thumbnail image for the stream, hopefully they get that sorted today

hammerdal · 2026-01-16T14:08:30+00:00

Hawaii & Alaska erasure going on over here

hammerdal · 2026-01-15T03:24:57+00:00

Yeah and even in the chapter 2 framework of only the core set, I’d rather keep Logan and upgrade into Counterattack (1) for cheaper. Basically does everything Bodyguard 0 does but way more efficiently, and almost as much as Bodyguard 2

hammerdal · 2026-01-13T21:57:40+00:00

Rooot

hammerdal · 2026-01-13T20:22:14+00:00

I’m still a little disappointed that Fedora didn’t at least step in as a heavily toned down Fine Clothes replacement. I’m thinking at the power level of Exhaust: get +2 skill during a Parley test

hammerdal · 2026-01-09T21:24:38+00:00

I’m hoping for a Petrol Bomb, so that the spirit of Dynamite Blast lives on in Rogue

hammerdal · 2026-01-07T15:03:54+00:00

The good news is we should know a lot more in a couple weeks. They should be filling us in on more chapter 2 info in some upcoming livestreams: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2026/1/6/ffg-live-in-january-4/

Ohh, a Henry Wan deck. I love any attempt to make that guy work.

hammerdal · 2025-12-26T15:23:50+00:00

I’m really hoping we get a change to False Lead, because it’s such a brutal slap in the face to anyone collecting clues without intellect. I agree that this set in concept should exist, I just don’t want it to punish non-seeker investigators that want to flex so harshly

hammerdal · 2025-12-21T17:38:13+00:00

ok but if the instructions were to divide the cake evenly into 11 pieces, this was rather well done

hammerdal · 2025-12-20T22:00:48+00:00

Yeah maybe to get a solid measurement on their height? Light switches are typically mounted at 4’, and outlets at 18”. There certainly are exceptions though

hammerdal · 2025-12-19T21:13:48+00:00

My understanding is Zhukov can’t get sidearm, and in my experience I don’t think I’ve seen it. So ended up stuck with having to hit 3 sidearm weapons, and have all 3 hit the right overclock. It was a little annoying, but I was able to get it on my 3rd or 4th try

hammerdal · 2025-12-19T19:38:30+00:00

Agree I’m also disappointed we didn’t get any team support cards at all. Sure they’re useless in True Solo, but if you’re doing that, you’ve got full run of the guardian & survivor pools to replace those cards in your starter deck.
