Re: ooc
There are two club skills: Small Club and Large Club. Both have a base of 25%. Using a rifle as a club would probably fall under Large Club. However, the roll is still too low.

Aha, thank you. I've got 5th Ed rules and there's no clubbing of any sort. Not even a disco.

Re: ooc
I'll be away at conventions October 31-November 3 and November 8-10, so I probably won't be able to post then. I'm not sure if I'll even be able to post between them, as I work during the week and will have little time to catch up, though I am off November 11.

Re: ooc
I played my first game of Eldritch Horror this afternoon, and it was a blast! I'll put my account of it in a spoiler button in case you don't want to be spoiled about the sorts of things that could happen in a game, but it's very different every time.

Re: ooc
Thanks for the review, Mr. H!
How does it compare to Arkham Horror? I'm seeing a lot of parallel technical terms there, is it different enough or is the same game on a different board?

Re: ooc
I googled Vilma Banky and found lots of great photos. I like this one:
Which board other games did you get?--I guess you visited a game convention the other week? I haven't read about your first game of EH yet, so no comments at the moment. Unfortunately I didn't receive my copy this weekend.

Re: ooc
Nice picture!
I went to two conventions on consecutive weekends. At the first one I picked up Friday (a quick solo game, tried it once so far but didn't win), the Firefly board game (played it twice so far and won both times, lots of fun!), and the new Pandemic expansion, On the Brink. At the second convention I bought Yggdrasil, which I played once before a few years ago. In the last six weeks I've also gotten several other new games. Four of them I had backed on Kickstarter, and I haven't had time to play any of them yet (Dark Darker Darkest, Zombicide, Freedom: The Underground Railroad Game, and 12 Realms). I also got a bunch that I ordered through CoolStuffInc, which gives normal discounts of about 33% off of everything and has daily deals and a Black Friday sale with even steeper discounts, not to mention free shipping for orders of $100 or more - and I never have any problem finding enough games to buy. I haven't had enough time to try any of them yet except for Eldritch Horror. I got both expansions for Fortune and Glory (Rise of the Crimson Hand and Treasure Hunters), the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game with the character add-on and second adventure set expansions, The Hobbit (the one designed by Reiner Knizia), and Awakening the Bear. This last one is a WWII game set on the Russian Front in 1941-2. I had thought it had solo rules, but the solo expansion is actually not available yet and won't be until February, so I'll have to wait to play that one anyway. And now I'm tempted to buy A World at War, which is a monster of a WWII game with over 2800 counters that normally sells for $200. CoolStuffInc has it on sale for less than $100 right now, and there's another little game on sale there I want that will push it high enough to get free shipping.
Eldritch Horror does have themes, elements, and mechanics in common with Arkham Horror, but it is very much its own game and well worth getting. I'm sorry to hear that yours hasn't arrived yet, and I hope you get it soon.

Re: ooc
I've got Friday, probably the last game I bought before EH, but I haven't played it! Zombicide and Dark etc. have cool minis, I was tempted to get these games because of them . . . no, no, my will is good--I've decided to cut down on board games, and have had a clear out; however one game that does sound very interesting to me is Robinson Crusoe. . . . Have you tried Space Hulk Death Angel card game?--it's a good solo game.
Edit: Re. your game of Eldritch Horror, it sounds like what I want AH to be more like, namely more theme and less bookkeeping.

Re: ooc
Yes, that's a pretty good description of Eldirtch Horror.
Robinson Crusoe does sound cool. I did buy Space Hulk Death Angel last year and played it several times. It was fun and very challenging; it took me a bunch of attempts before I finally won once!
I need to cut back on board games too. I ended up not buying A World At War, but only because I wanted to wait until I'd had some sleep before making a decision. It fell off the sale somehow, though other items that were up there yesterday remain there. So did Dungeon Roll, the other game that interested me. Now AWAW is back up to its regular discount price of $130, a good deal more than the $95 it had been. I'll wait on it, and if it ever goes on sale again I'll probably pick it up. Still, I have enough games now, plus there are quite a few I've backed on Kickstarter that should deliver in the next year or so.
I played the tutorial mission of Zombicide, which was pretty easy, but it's supposed to be. It was still fun. The regular missions look very hard indeed, and it's hard to see how they're winnable. It looks like the zombies will spawn faster than you can kill them. I also played a game of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, half last night and half today. It's fun too, and well designed, as I expect from Reiner Knizia. You need to carefully manage your resources to get you through each board. This game has two of them, and there will be expansions with additional boards based on the next two Hobbit movies that allow you to continue. I intend to play 12 Realms next, as it's a short game, but I won't have time until next weekend. I need to catch up on reading the games on this site that I'm not playing. I had finally caught up on October 30, right before I left for my first convention, and I was never able to find time to do all the back reading since then.
