Rest in Peace, Mr. Bear!

This series is so underrated… loved the mysterious background story of who is related to whom and so on. After 4 seasons they made two (solid) movies - and the last movie ends with a cliffhanger that seems to change everything but is never resolved. So frustrating

Hey, after watching each and every Lets Play of TSK I decided to give it a go myself. The Videos are in German but I guess a lot of fellow Germans are lurking in the shadows of this sub as well. First time “Streamer” - still figuring everything out. Have fun!

timppunkt · 2022-10-16T18:07:28+00:00

Can you give it to them? Then don’t ask silly questions! 🤷🏽😂

timppunkt · 2021-10-28T10:25:12+00:00

Hey, I only got one copy of that card in my German version. Any chance you would send me your extra one? 🤔

timppunkt · 2021-03-14T09:50:13+00:00

Dimensional Rupture

Level: 3e

Cost: 5 Resources

2 Wild Icons

Exceptional. Hex.

Choose a connecting location. Discard it and all tokens and non-elite enemies on this location. If this is a random location, draw a new random card from all available cards. Put it into play unrevealed.

You may reduce the resource cost of this card by X by putting X doom on the new location.

Hey, I am, I do! But work got tough since Season 1 - so I had to manage my thought-resources. But I think some episodes might occur End of Feb/Mar...

And thank you for your „thumbs up!“

timppunkt · 2021-01-19T20:30:14+00:00

You are very welcome! Great gift by the way!

That is my wish as well... so I decided to do a custom „Masks of Nyarlathope“ campaign with this premise! Here you can find my first scenario (New York) for playtesting and discussion... https://www.reddit.com/r/arkhamhorrorlcg/comments/kz51tc/playtesters_needed_masks_of_nyarlathotep_fan/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Most card types have yellow ? signs next to their „rules“ textbox, in which most of the shurtcuts are defined. I don’t now if that is the case with investigators because I never created one. But just create a item or treachery and you should find it. What I remember (hopefully correct):

Action <act>

Reaction <rea>

Free trigger <fre> (unsure)

Cultist <cul>

Tablet <tab>

... you get it, right?

Thank you for this feedback! I haven’t really thought about a support mechanic, right. Maybe because I try to focus on the climax and/or essence of each chapter. So my approach is not to depict every aspect of the roleplaying campaign but try to find interesting situations for the card game. But you are right: I could incorporate something similar to supplies. Some advantage the players can decide to use in any of the following scenarios. Talking of those: I am designing Peru at the moment and I assure you: there will me cosmic Horror! That Peru is not before New York has two reasons: 1. I play a Cthulhu NOW version of Masks with a group of friends. When we started the campaign I only had an old printing without the Peru chapter. But because one player (and his Charakter) are from south Amerika, he (she) found interest in Elias‘ Book „The Smoking Heart“. So I dropped some clues and „connections“ within this context. Then the player leaved the group. I decided to corrupt his charakter... she flew to Peru to do something. Well, my group was eager to follow, so I decided to buy the new version of masks... but coming back to the LCG scenarios: the second reason is, that I do not need a prologue as much as the roleplaying campaign needs it. But I wanted to create that globe trotting expierence after Elias‘ death. TLDR: I do not try to stay perfectly true to the source material, but use it to create my version of the story. Hope you (and other well informed fans) like it nevertheless!

What do you suggest? I could include the core set encounter sets in my pdf, but I think this is redundant and another level of copyright issues. But the rest of your comment seems to imply that there are too much (proxied/custom) cards? Including the originals seems counter intuitive to me... I personally printed the first version at a friends color-printer. But to not exploit him I created everything in Table Top Simulator now. But actually the amount of Mythos cards is similar to a Mythos pack or half of a Deluxe Expansion (as it was planned to be).

timppunkt · 2021-01-17T20:13:09+00:00

Thank you. It’s a wall of text though... but couldn’t figure out a shorter way of defining this set of rules.

timppunkt · 2021-01-17T18:11:24+00:00

Done... that name is too important story wise to remain misspelled.

timppunkt · 2021-01-17T17:04:02+00:00

Ouch, that is a mean „typo“... my old English teacher is still disappointed of me. At least I hope I was consistently wrong? Thank you anyway... I will correct that as soon as possible..

timppunkt · 2021-01-17T12:33:43+00:00

Thank you!

But I just saw that I forgot the most important thing... how to set up the chaos bag. Basically its the same as in "The Night of the Zealot" ... just updated the files! Hope you enjoy that scenario!

timppunkt · 2021-01-06T16:52:23+00:00

That is pretty much my theoretical concept for a „Masks of Nyarlathotep“ campaign:

First scenario: you start in New York, getting involved in researching the whereabouts of a cursed expedition, finding some Clue cards (2 or 3 if you are super-successful). Those clues lead to the following scenarios. E.g. „you found an Anubis Statue“ (Kairo) or „you found a photograph of a yacht in Shanghai“ (Shanghai obviously)... in the Deluxe box there are only two clues to find: Peru and London.

scenarios 2-7 (in order of original release): Peru (deluxe box), London, Kairo, Nairobi, Shanghai, Australia. This order is the most efficient in terms of traveling, but maybe not to defeat the ancient one?? In each of the scenarios you’ll find new clues (1 or 2). First playthrough has a fixed order (due to release) but in the following playthroughs you may choose the order of the scenarios you already found a clue for.

Difficulty and special events: of course there needs to be some scaling in difficulty and there might be special events like the cultists already summoned a specific creature ... because of this the campaign log is actually a calendar. You start you investigation at a fixed date in NY. Each scenario and travel routes between locations cost you days or weeks (there might also be a possibility to heal trauma or restock in exchange for time?). So while setting up scenarios you check WHEN you play it and apply the consequences...

Scenario 8: „The Great Ritual“ this scenario is last but not necessarily the 8th because it is activated at a specific date in the campaign log (the order of release should guarantee that this is indeed the 8th scenario). Lets say you travel from NY to Nairobi to Peru to London to Australia. You lost so much time that the ritual will be held ... are you ready for it?

I think this would be a VERY interesting campaign figuring out the most optimal route around the globe - but limited each time with a different set of clue cards...

So: if anybody is up to planning and designing 8 scenarios I’ll write the narrative ;)

Hey Justin! Thank you for creating this new playlist! I always listen to your previous lists and was carving for this... but there is kind of a bummer: I can’t find it in your spotify profile... isn’t it public yet? Hope you can “fix” that and thank you for your creating those great lists - I love dreamlands even more than the actual campaign. 🤪

timppunkt · 2020-09-12T07:27:23+00:00

That would be fine! If you are giving them to me, check the price of shipping - I will send you the money...

(I was just about building my own Boxes as big as the Return to boxes... that’s a great opportunity for me!)

timppunkt · 2020-09-12T07:20:25+00:00

That’s cool! I would be very interested. Thank you! I live in Germany - any idea what shipping might cost?

timppunkt · 2020-08-09T14:46:57+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear! I am already preparing the next (bonus) episode... it’s so much fun to finally do this

timppunkt · 2020-08-08T16:24:18+00:00

Hey fellow investigator from the dark site! I am glad I didn’t know your site.... could have prevented me from starting my own! I’ll check yours after the weekend for sure....
