Arkham Horror chat (ooc)

In the sleepy town of Kingsport, unspeakable horror hides awaiting its time. Not only does Tulzscha run rampant, but it also blazes a trail for Yibb-Tstll. Five ordinary people from various walks of life will try to prevent it from destroying all they hold dear. Will they succeed?

Arkham Horror chat (ooc)

Post by Tabs »

Hello to BlackSmoke and Protoff, and, of course, Mr. Handy; so that's 4 players (including myself). I know we all make regular posts, however, if you can't post for a few days please say so in this topic. Mr. Handy will be away July 4-8.

I want the game played as per the rulebook, and as if we are sat at a table together. Any questions, please ask!

First off, let's discuss expansions. I was thinking only components from Arkham Horror + Kingsport (incl. Herald) + Miskatonic (incl. Institution), but any official Investigator + Personal Story.

Thanks! That sounds like a good combination of expansions to use. We haven't tried Kingsport yet, and Miskatonic adds good things to any expansion.

All new users need to be added to the Validated Users group before they can post outside of the welcome and recruitment areas. You can actually do it yourself as a Keeper, but instructions haven't been posted yet. I've gone ahead and validated them, so they should be able to post now.

Hi all and thanks Mr Handy.
Sounds interesting, never played with a Herald before and haven't got Miskatonic so not seen any of those cards yet. I will assume that they are up on the Wiki.

As far as Investigator goes I'll stick with Kingsport and try Rex Murphy. Not seen him played before and he looks quite interesting.

Hey folks!

Like Profftof I don't have Miskatonic and I don't actually have Kingsport either, though I have played it once. I'd need to get a hold of a good image of the board if anyone has any links.

There will be a separate board topic, with piccy, that I shall update each turn.

Rex Murphy starts the game Cursed, doesn't he? :roll: Anyway, we can go ahead and choose our investigators. Tomorrow, I'll start an "Investigator" topic.

lol yep. But soon as he trades 10clues in @Newspaper he gets Blessed. And he automatically gets an extra clue whenever he picks one up so the way I'm seeing it I just need to pick up 2 singles and a double, and keep the 3 I start with to get back in the game.

I am open to suggestions if anyone has played Rex before and found it hampered the investigators progress.

You're welcome, and welcome ProfToff and BlackSmoke!

I'll pick a random investigator from those that come with the base game and with Kingsport, except for those that have already been chosen. I don't have time to dig out the game and do this tonight, but I may have a chance on Tuesday night.

I don't know anything about Rex Murphy. I always play with random investigators, and I only read their character sheets when I happen to pick them.

No need! Here's Rex:

I'm a bit rushed this morning, especially because my cat just ran past with a rabbit in its mouth . . .

I choose Luke Robinson. Mr. Handy, I can pick a random investigator, if you like; BlackSmoke, choose one or random?

http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com is a fantastic resource. Rex Murphy's Personal Story: http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Rex_Murphy

After I post your investigator sheet in this topic, right-click on the picture, "Copy Image Location," and Reply in the "Investigator" topic; you'll need to type [img]&[/img].

[img]***http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu12 ... 23/Rex.jpg***[/img]

You will be responsible for updating your own investigator sheet.

Yes, you can pick a random investigator for me from the combined set from Arkham and Kingsport if I don't get to it by the time you're ready.

I'm almost ready to start the game. Tomorrow I'll reveal the Ancient One, Herald and Institution; hand out random possessions; and we can all finish Investigator Setup.

ProfToff and BlackSmoke, please reply in the "Investigator" topic.
