Exploring the Design Space

By tsuma534, in General Discussion

Hello,

This is a shameless advertisement.

I have started a blog at BGG named " Exploring the Design Space ". I'm sharing some ideas about how Eldritch Horror could be expanded in the future.

If you're interested in that sort of thing, you're invited to drop by.

Hello!

Nice, I will check whats intresting there!

Another reimplementation from AH is up on the blog.

This time it's about the Relationships between Investigators.
Edit: An unfinished paragraph snuck in to the article, but it's corrected now.

Subscribed as well.

Subscribed too, really enjoying this blog!

Maybe you'll find some ideas useful in future expansions. :-)

For change, the latest article - " Other Worlds " - doesn't expand upon Eldritch Horror.

Instead I'll look upon one thing Arkham Horror could learn from it's younger brother.

If you're only interested in Eldritch Horror ideas, you can safely ignore it.

The latest update " Time Travelling Elephants " is a small one: It introduces two new item ideas.

Another small update " A Big Hole In The Sky " spawns a gate in an inaccessible location.

A surge of chores is delaying new updates, but there's a tiny extra: A Time Machine prototype image .

Last months were very busy, this led to a lack of updates.
However, the forthcoming "Signs of Carcosa" have motivated me to at least share my excitement about the new expansion .

Another update, old idea this time:
A Boon condition that may give you something bad, if you want - " Changed "

Since the early days of AH, Dexter Drake was my favorite investigator.
I was eagerly waiting for him to appear in the EH. He'll finally arrive in Signs of Carcosa , but I'm a bit disappointed. Gaining extra Spells is very good but not very interesting.

I decided to finish and share my fan version. Here it is .
I'm very curious about your opinions.

Darn it, didn't know you and Haroth were the same guy!

Surprise!

tsuma534 is my nickname* on most sites around the internet, BGG is an only major exception, due to obsolete reasons. haroth9842 is only an artifact nick which I would be very happy to get rid of.

At least the avatar I'm using on BGG is my favorite avatar which I'm using basically everywhere.

* Although there are some other users with identical nickname, which amuses me - I thought it's unique enough.

I'm dusting my mental shelves, and the result of this is a batch of Work In Progress investigators. I really like to design skills for investigators.
Have a look, maybe your input will help to make something more finished out of this?

i'm under the assumption Duke will be a +1 to Will +1 to strength

and the guitar will probably have a gain sanity effect with a "you can discard to gain X strength".

i mean, that's literally like every implementation of them so far, but eldritch likes to be different.

and i think you're pretty close with Amanda Sharpe (My favorite investigator). I'm hoping for "when you gain a focus, gain 1 additional focus" cause well.. she likes to study.

and i imagine her having Lola's ability in Arkham for Skills, for talents. whatever talents are... Seriously... Amanda Sharpe doesn't suck!! :)

Jenny will probably have 4 influence and gain funding conditions with her ability, and add extra dice or get an automatic success to her Gain Assets action. she could potentially, with her two actions, gain a funding condition, then Acquire Assets (2 free successes from funding) + an automatic, or additional die/dice. who knows. but, if that's how they build her, she'd be a buying machine as long as she stays put. since we really only have 1 buying machine so far in the game which is obviously charlie, it would be a welcome addition. i'm interested to see where they take it. all i know is she better get her automatics :P

Basically every Character Ally in Eldritch Horror has at least one impressive feature. A simple bonus is fine for regular Allies, but not for Characters.

yeah i meant, he's probably gonna have those stats with him, and of course have himself a nice ability. Something probably to do with sanity, since Duke is the only thing that keeps Pete sane. :(

Two small updates:

Calvin Wright, the Damned enters your game of Eldritch Horror.
While initially weakened due to all the hell he's been through, he's got the potential to be a friend indeed, filling any investigator role you want him to.

Amplified (Mis)Fortune describes a new Mythos that will help you to get rid of these pesky Cursed conditions while boosting the Blessed ones! What more to want?

I'm currently splitting my time between contributing to the wiki , and working on a huge update that unfortunately requires some image editing. I hope it will be finished before August.
