We Won! New Players!

By Food Eater Lad, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

After about a year off of wandering the streets of Arkham, two new friends asked me about this game. I told them it was a long game, and we would probably loose. They laughed and said they still wanted to try it out.

So we all came to my place on a day off, and we picked Hastur to fight.

We had 6 out of 7 gates opened, only one sealed gate, and the terror was at four. Both monster limits were full. One of the guys said, " we are so dead."

One decided to be a monster hunter, and became the deputy and drove around just fighting monsters. I swept up clues and gate dove, as did my other player.

About an hour later, we sealed the last gate. The doom track was at 9, and so was the terror track.

It was probably the most satisfying game of Arkham Horror I have ever played.

They both want to play again!

Sounds like great news, John!

That's how it's done! =)

Good show!

It's nice to hear someone punched the evil forces of Arkham in the privates just when it looked like all hope was lost. Keep fighting the good fight!

Thanks everyone I suffered burn out and took a year off from this game. I stripped it down to the bare minimum and started again.

Played again today. We kicked cthuga's ass! We could do no wrong. The dice were just with us today.

I just played cthuga yesterday (as a series where i'm playing all the ancient ones that I haven't beaten) and lost to him, though i blame the fact that the BGoTW was the herald... dude is hard.

The same group played again, and once again we pulled a victory out at the last second.

And, do to my crap memory, we played wrong. I made it harder. I did the monster surge wrong, doubling the amount that came out.

Well, good that you still pulled out a victory! It's nice that the group keeps on meeting :)

We lost . It wasn't so much Arkham, I blame Innsmouth.

Innsmouth is a pretty good place to fix the blame, regardless of what you are talking about.

Yeah

Jason, don't you think Dagon is like a spicy sushi for some reason? LOL

I bet he's the kind that gives you bad indigestion.

Nonsense! It is all about preparation to get marvellous Dagon sashimi. A common mistake is to forget to remove the ichor gland, which, of course, is fatal unless the dinner table has easy access to the ocean. I like to leave a little bit in, just enough to numb the mouths of my guests: you can't have Dagon without that much of a thrill! However, always remember to wear double sleeves and gloves while eating.

1) That was really funny - I had a good laugh

2) I just lost my appetite
