I've recently completed a 24-Mythos Card game, which had the following Investigators:
- "Ashcan" Pete
- Darrell Simmons
- Michael McGlen
- Gloria Goldberg
While their starting equipment certainly didn't bode well for this foursome, their interaction with the board, coupled with some very lucky rolls made for an interesting adventure. Only one individual, Gloria saw the inside of the Hospital, while the others did well in direct conflict with the monsters or passed the necessary "Sneak" rolls at opportune times. During play, they managed to 'Pass' the Rumor The Stars Are Right, and yield a few extra Common Items, per Investigator In the end, Ashcan and Michael emerged from separate Other Worlds. The Mythos 'Environment' in play: Noden's Favor ~ and each of the guys had enough Clue Tokens to seal the last two gates (despite the fact that Michael and Gloria each possessed an Elder Sign). The Terror Track made it to '5' and most of Allies were either part of our team or had fled the city. The Doom Track had reached 10, and we were on the verge of using the Elder Signs if things didn't go well.
A great couple of hours ~ put a check in the 'W' column for those four Investigators.
