Couldn't get the items from Andy to get started, sorry.  We'll start as soon as possible, whenever I catch him and we can run through the setup.

I will try to do it tonight. Was not having a particularly good day yesterday and the last thing I wanted to do was clean up and redistribute cards. PM me the list of things needed if you could, Yakko, in case I miss you?

Here's your characters' initial loadout.  This list includes your fixed items so I could link to them.  The game topic will probably be up early afternoonish EDIT: or I might finish faster than I thought, whatever.  The order the characters are listed will also be your play order if you care about that yet. >_>

Taishyr - Min Thi Phan: .18 Derringer, Ancient Tome, The King in Yellow, Enchanted Blade, Voice of Ra, Will

Talaysen - Mark Harrigan: Flamethrower, Molotov Cocktail, Cursed Sphere, Lore

Nitori - Agnes Baker: Safety Deposit Key, Illuminated Manuscript, Shrivelling, Wither, Stealth

Hunter Sopko - Carolyn Fern: Understudy's Script, Sedanette, Petrifying Solution, Illuminated Manuscript, Speed

Shale - Diana Stanley: Director's Diary, Mists of Releh, Will, Silver Twilight Lodge Membership

Sir Alex - Silas Marsh: Cross, Cavalry Saber, Shotgun, Map of the Mind, Marksman

The current game is just about ready to end, so anyone that wants to be considered for a spot in the next game feel free to start saying so, and what if anything you want to see in the next one.

Still willing to play, still kinda want to see Kingsport in action but have no real preference as to what gets used next game.

I can be in, but if it fills up fast I can also step out first.

Unless people specifically want something else, I'm probably going to go with just Innsmouth in the hope that this time something other than the Deep Ones Rising track matters from there.  We saw all of one Innsmouth encounter in that last game. <_<

The problem with expansions is that they can be neutralized just by playing the game at a fast clip. Dunwich, Innsmouth, Kingsport...all of them need time to have any effect on the state of play at all.

I dunno, the Deep Ones Rising track certainly wasn't neutralized, it was just ignored in favor of ending the game even faster than it could have.  Partly because it was already at 4 and you couldn't stop it because you ignored Innsmouth.

Well, yeah, but as it turned out it was impossible to stop Ranty from awakening normally before the Deep Ones Rising came into play, even without putting any tokens on the feds track. It would have mattered if the last three mythoses had been different, but they weren't.

It may not have been if you hadn't put two tokens on the doom track yourselves.  Also remember I was Hatbotting Mythos cards so there's no guarantee that those three would have even come up.

We did like two or three turns in one night since everyone was around. <_<  Plus it only lasted 8 turns thanks to the King in Yellow.  So yes, it's done.

I would like to run an Arkham game sometime with a heavy story emphasis and maybe some changed mechanics.  Probably best done after Christmas, though.
