The Issue of Investigators

By Peter Egham, in General Discussion

There are two issues, really.

1. There a finite number of Investigators, but - since Syzygy and Nephren-Ka are both new, a potentially much larger amount of AOs. New Investigators? No Investigators in some expansions? Thoughts?

2. Will all investigators be released for Eldritch Horror. One that springs to mind being a problem is Wendy Adams, the Urchin, since the game demands international travel. Yorick the the gravedigger has a similar problem, but they included Wilson anyway. Thoughts?

1. Arkham Horror investigators are limited in number, but characters from the roaring 20's are not. When they'll finish converting AH investigators to EH, I'm confident we'll have new one. With a bonus: if you create a new Joe Diamond for another game system, you have to create a character sharing some background / items and so on. If you create a character anew, you're free to do whatever you want, so that we can have different and intriguingly new characters

2. I don't see many problems with Wendy: a street urchin surely knows her way into a ship or on a train. If we want to be pedantic, then other characters are unlikely to travel to the Hymalaya due to old age, and others should be unable to fight Shoggoths or similar, so...

2. I don't see many problems with Wendy: a street urchin surely knows her way into a ship or on a train.

That could be her passive ability: she cannot gain an actual ship or rail ticket, however can always more one additional space along a ship or rail line (due to her sneaking on board).

That's a nice one!

For me is ok. I dont play AH much. This time when I dive into A Files start with AH , EH just come out. Since EH is much better version of AH I switched to EH. So for me most of Investigators new things!

1. There a finite number of Investigators...

Why?

If they cut new investigators out of an expansion and add 1 or 2 more AOs instead, I'd still buy it.
