You shouldn't flip a Carnevale-Goer as your last action unless you're certain it's a Reveler. Otherwise, you might find a cultist, and give them another free hit on you. Especially for solo play, you should be spending clues to scout out the Carnevale-Goers and never flipping blind (for multiplayer, that gets expensive; instead, only blind-flip when another investigator is right behind you to bail you out if things go badly).

I played Carnevale six times and never managed to get past round three. I think the deck I'm using is less suited to the quest than I thought (the fact that I didn't draw a weapon in any of the attempts was a major problem) and that quest has given me a lesson in the value of playing two-handed. Since I'll be five scenarios away from being up-to-date (after I get to my FLGS and pick up the copy of Curse of the Rougarou) and I've been keeping note of what my campaign notes and current deck is I might keep a note of my cuttent Chaos Tokens and start a two handed campaign, playing that until I get up to Miskatonic Museum, then alternating between both campaigns.

I would also recommend NEVER risking having an enemy engage you as the last action of your turn. You're asking to be attacked for free. If you had instead drawn a card as your last action, you might have been in a better place to flip and then have three actions to deal with the enemy (due to Leo).

Random Basic Weakness

Searching For Izzie

My campaign notes were:

• Gained Gilded Volto and added it to my deck.

• Permanently suffer 1 mental trauma.

• Rescued Dr. Francis Morgan.

• Rescued Dr. Henry Armitage.

• Many were sacrificed to Cnidathqua at the Carnevale.

• Professor Warren Rice was kidnapped.

• The Experiment was Defeated.

• The O'Bannion Gang has a bone to pick with me.

I started with the standard 5 resources, the permanent Adaptable and 1 starting horror as well as a opening hand containing Emergency Cache, Jenny's Twin .45s. Pickpocketing, Sneak Attack and Unexpected Courage.

In order to setup the scenario I randomly selected a Administration Office and Security Office and put the Museum Entrance, Museum Halls, Administration Office and Security Office into play (with Jenny at the Museum Entrance and adding 2 clues), set up the Exhibit deck and shuffled the encounter deck.

Round One began with the investigation stage, where I:

• Investigated (drawing 0 and claiming a clue).

• Investigated (drawing Elder Sign for +5 and claiming the last clue).

• Paid 2 clues to advance the act to act 2a. I took control of Adam Lynch and revealed the Museum Halls.

• Moved to the Museum Halls.

After skipping the enemy phase I ended the turn by gaining 2 resources and drawing Dr. Henry Armitage.

Round Two began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Passage Into The Veil (I drew 0 and passed the test).

During the Investigation phase I:

• Paid 7 to play Jenny's Twin .45s (with 7 ammo).

• Moved to Administration Office (adding 2 clues).

• Investigated (drawing -1 and claiming a clue).

After skipping the enemy phase I gained 2 resources and drew Think On Your Feet.

Round Three began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Obscuring Fog and added it to the Administration Office.

During the investigation phase I:

• Moved to the Museum Halls.

• Paid 1 clue to put the top Exhibit Hall into play.

• Moved to the Exhibit Hall (revealing it as the Medusa Exhibit, with 1 clue attached).

After skipping the enemy phase I gained 2 resources and drew Backstab.

Round Four began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Twist Of Fate (drawing -4 and taking 1 damage).

During the investigation phase I:

• Investigated (drawing -1 and claiming a clue).

• Moved to the Museum Halls.

• Paid 1 clue to put the top Exhibit Hall into play.

After skipping the enemy phase (there doesn't seem to be a lot of enemies in this deck) I gained 2 resources and drew Contraband.

Round Five began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a and drew Cursed Luck (adding it to my threat area).

During the investigation phase I:

• Moved to the new Exhibit Hall (revealing it as the Athabaskan Exhibit). This ended my turn.

I ended the round by gaining 2 resources and drawing Dynamite Blast.

Round Six began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a, advancing it to agenda 2 (putting the Hunting Horror into play in the Museum Halls and shuffling the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck) before I drew Visions of Futures Past (drawing -2 and discarding Gilded Volto, Lone Wolf, Bandolier, Switchblade (Lvl 2) and Flashlight).

Suring the investigation phase I:

• Moved to the Museum Halls, engaging the Hunting Horror.

• Paid 1 from Jenny's Twin .45s to fight the Hunting Horror (drawing Cultist for -1 and inflicting 2 damage and discarding Cursed Luck).

• Paid 1 from Jenny's Twin .45s to fight the Hunting Horror (drawing -1 and doing 2 damage, killing the Hunting Horror and sending it to the Void).

Having killed the enemy in the deck I ended the turn by gaining 2 resources and drawing Lone Wolf.

Round Seven began with added 1 doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Obscuring Fog, adding it to Museum Halls.

During the Investigation phase I:

• Moved to the Security Office (attaching 1 clue).

• Investigated (drawing +1 and claiming a clue).

• Moved back to the Museum Halls.

I ended the turn by gaining 2 resources and drawing Hard Knocks.

Round Eight began with adding a doom to agenda 2a before I drew Terror From Beyond. At this point in the game I remembered about there being a upper limit of 8 cards in my hand. Since I've played very little from my hand I discarded Backstab, Pickpocketing and Emergency Cache before triggering Terror From Beyond's ability and discarding Unexpected Courage.

During the investigation phase I:

• Paid 4 to play Contraband and add 5 more ammo to Jenny's Twin .45s.

• Paid 1 clue to play the top Exhibit Hall.

• Moved to the new Exhibit Hall (revealing it as Hall Of The Dead, with 2 clues).

I ended the round by gaining 2 resources and drawing Physical Training.

Round Nine began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Twist Of Fate (drawing a skull and taking 2 horror).

During the investigation phase I:

• Investigated (drawing Elder Sign for +10 and claiming a clue).

• Moved to Museum Halls.

• Paid 1 clue to put the top Exhibit Hall into play.

Since the only enemy available was in the Void I ended the turn by gaining 2 resources and drawing Think On Your Feet.

Round Ten began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Visions of Futures Past (drawing 0 and discarding Flashlight and Leo De Luca).

During the investigation phase I:

• Moved to the new Exhibit Hall (revealing it to be the Restricted Hall, adding 2 clues, advancing to act 3 and putting Hunting Horror and Shadow-Spawned into play in the Restricted Hall engaged with me).

• Paid 1 from Jenny's Twin .45s to fight the Hunting Horror (drawing -2 and doing 2 damage).

• Paid 1 from Jenny's Twin .45s to fight the Hunting Horror (drawing Cultist for -1 and doing 2 damage to the Hunting Horror, sending it and Shadow-spawned to the Void).

With no enemies in play I gained 2 resources and drew Elusive then discarded it.

Round Eleven began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Stalked In The Dark, which surged to Passage Into The Veil (I drew a skull and discarded Rabbit's Foot, Unexpected Courage, Emergency Cache, Dr. Francis Morgan and Liquid Courage).

In the investigation stage I:

Investigated (committing Dr. Henry Armitage for +2 and drawing -1 so claiming a clue).

Investigated (committing 2 copies of Thinking On Your Feet for +2 and drawing -1 so claiming another clue).

Claiming the last clue advanced the act and gave me a choice either or not to take the Necronomicon. After some consideration and, thinking like a old-school role-player and considering that it might contain some clues as to the location of Izzie, I decided to take the Necronomicon with me.

In the end I:

• Took The Necronomicon.

• Added a Squid-thingy to the chaos bag.

• Gained 3 experience.

• I paid 2 experience to replace a copy of Lone Wolf with Opportunist (Lvl 2) and paid 1 experience to move onto Curse of the Rougarou.

I wholeheartedly approve of your decision-making methods! My playing partner and I role-played an argument between Zoey and Daisy over what to do with the Necronomicon, even though both of us as players wanted to destroy it.

My wife and I decided to destroy the Necronomicon when we played this last night. We're just waiting around for the train to show up now, with nothing nefarious to read. Maybe we should have kept the book.

I'm starting to think that taking the Necronomicon was a bad idea (I should have known from watching the Evil Dead but I digress) since either the dark powers of the book or my apparent terrible luck with POD scenarios meant that Curse of the Rougarou didn't go well (which may be a understatement for the ages).

Searching For Izzie

My campaign notes were:

• Gained Gilded Volto and added it to my deck.

• Many were sacrificed to Cnidathqua at the Carnevale.

• Permanently suffer 1 mental trauma.

• Professor Warren Rice was kidnapped.

• Rescued Dr. Francis Morgan.

• Rescued Dr. Henry Armitage.

• The Experiment was Defeated.

• The O'Bannion Gang has a bone to pick with me.

• Took The Necronomicon.

I started with the standard 5 resources, the permanent Adaptable and 1 starting horror as well as a opening hand containing Contraband, Dr. Henry Armitage, Hard Knocks, Leather Coat and Think On Your Feet. After a mulligan, I had a hand containing Elusive, Hard Knocks, Leather Coat, Opportunist II and Think On Your Feet.

In order to setup the scenario I randomly put the New Orleans locations out of play, randomly put the Riverside and Unhallowed locations aside and put 2 copies of Wildereness and Forgotten Marsh (with Jenny there) into play before I shuffled the encounter deck.

Round One began with the investigation phase where I:

• Paid 2 resources to move to a Wilderness, flipping it to Twisted Underbrush (adding 1 clue).

• Investigated (drawing 0 and claiming a clue.

• Moved back to Forgotten Marsh.

Since no enemies were in play I ended the round by adding 2 resources and Switchblade.

Round Two began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Spectral Mist and added it to Forgotten Marsh.

In the investigation stage I:

• Paid 1 clue to advance to act 2 (putting Lady Esprit into play Forgotten Marsh, put the Riverside and Unhallowed locations into play, played the Rougarou at the Twisted Underbrush and shuffled many many cards into the encounter deck before playing Curse of the Rougarou into my threat area).

• Paid 1 resource to play Switchblade II.

• Played Leather Jacket.

After nothing happened in the enemy phase I proceeded to gain 2 resources and draw Dr. Henry Armitage before I took 1 horror (this game is not going to end well).

Round Three began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Ripples On The Surface (Drawing Tentacle for 0 total and taking 3 horror).

In the investigation stage I:

Moved to Twisted Underbrush.

Exhausted Switchblade to fight the Rougarou (drawing -3 and failing. The Rougarou's retaliation pushed me past my horror total and ended my attempt at this quest).

In the end I took another mental trauma (not a great sign and noted in the campaign log that the Rougarou continues to haunt the bayou.

Since I had scored no experience I'll go back to the main campaign with a even greater weakness than before.

My experience with the Rougarou was roughly the same as yours. Curse of the Rougarou killed me because I simply couldn't deal damage most turns.

• Rescued Dr. Henry Armitage.

• The Experiment was Defeated.

• The O'Bannion Gang has a bone to pick with me.

• The Rougarou continues to haunt the bayou.

• Took The Necronomicon.

I started with the standard 5 resources, the permanent Adaptable and 2 starting horror as well as a opening hand containing Dr. Henry Armitage, Leather Coat, Leo De Luca I, Opportunist II and The Necronomicon (Olaus Wormius Translation).

In order to setup the scenario I put a random Engine Car and six Train Cars into play before flipping the far left one to Passenger Car (with Jenny and 3 clues) and added a -3 counter to the chaos bag before I shuffled the encounter deck.

Round One began with the investigation phase, where I:

• Paid 5 to play Leo De Luca I.

• Investigated (drawing -1 and claiming a clue).

• Investigated (drawing -4 and failing).

• Investigated (drawing 0 and claiming a clue).

I ended the round by adding 2 resources and drawing Lone Wolf.

Round Two began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Ancient Evils (adding another doom counter to agenda 1a).

My investigations were:

• Investigating (drawing -1 and claiming the final clue).

• Moving to the next Train Car (flipping it to Sleeping Car with 1 clue).

• Paying 2 to play The Necronomicon (Olaus Wormius Translation).

• Investigating (drawing 0 and claiming a clue).

With no enemies in play I ended the turn by gaining 2 resources and drawing Quick Thinking.

Round Three began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Rotting Remains (drawing a tentacle for 0 total and taking 3 horror).

With a growing feeling that this game is not going to go well I moved to the investigation phase, where I:

• Moved to the next Train Car (the Parlor Car, with 1 clue).

• Gained 1 resource.

• Paid 3 resources to claim the clue on Parlour Car.

• Moved to the next Train Car (the Dining Car, I pulled a Grappling Horror from the encounter deck and spawned it at the Dining Car, engaged with me).

In the enemy phase I was attacked by the Grappling Horror, doing 1 damage and 1 horror before I ended the turn by gaining 2 resources and drawing Unexpected Courage.

Round Four began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a, advancing it and removing the Passenger car on the far left from the game as well as removing all my clues before I drew Dissonant Voices and added it to my threat area (I've got a bad feeling about this).

Moving to the investigation phase I:

Fought the Grappling Horror (Drawing 0, succeeding and doing 1 damage).

Fought the Grappling Horror (drawing a skull for -2 and failing, so taking 1 damage and 1 horror). The damage exceeded my horror score and I failed the game.

As a result of my failure I:

• Added a copy of Across Space and Time to my deck.

• Lost The Necronomicon (Olaus Wormius Translation).

• Drs. Armitage and Morgan were kidnapped.

• Was delayed on the way to Dunwich.

• I gained 1 experience.

• I gained another mental trauma.

With Jenny down to 4 starting horror and the odds of the quests getting any easier being slim to none-existent I think I'll admit a loss and call it a day for this campaign.

The Rougarou has Aloof, as well as special text that makes you pay clues to engage with him. You could not have attacked him here. Also, you don't need to exhaust the Switchblade to use it.

The Grappling Horror does not have Retaliate, so you shouldn't have taken any damage here. Also, when it did attack, you could have assigned that horror to Leo to stay in the game (though I suppose you might have been deliberately conceding at this point).

Anyway, it's been great reading these reports, even if the ending was properly Lovecraftian.

I'm trying to decide who to use for a two-handed campaign (probably Daisy and Zoey) and I'll probably write that up and post it here.

The Dunwich Legacy: Extra-Curriculat Activity (Standard difficulty solo Roland Banks)

For this scenario I used the following deck: https://arkhamdb.com/decklist/view/1394/roland-banks-dl-playthrough-deck-1-1.0

I started with 5 resources and a opening hand containing Dr. Milan Christopher, Emergency Cache x2, Flashlight and Hyperawareness. After a mulligan I wound up with a deck containing Beat Cop, Dr. Milan Christopher, Evidence!, Flashlight and Vicious Blow.

I setup the scenario by putting cards aside, putting the starting locations into play (with Roland at the Miskatonic Quad) and shuffling the encounter deck.

I started Round One by paying 4 to play Dr. Milan Christopher, moved to the Administrative Building (adding a clue and putting the Faculty Offices into play) and investigated (drawing 0 with base 4 against 4 difficulty so gaining a clue and a resource).

After skipping the enemy phase I ended the turn by gaining a resource, drawing .45 Automatic and discarding Working A Hunch from the top of my deck.

Round Two began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a and drawing Eager For Death (I drew -1 from 3 base against 2 difficulty and avoiding any damage).

I moved to the Student Union (adding 2 clues and putting the Dormitories into play) via the Miskatonic Quad and investigated (drawing -1 with base 3 against difficulty 1 and gaining a clue and a resource).

After skipping the enemy phase I ended the round by adding a resource and drawing Magnifying Glass.

Round Three began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Offer of Power (opting to add 2 doom to agenda 1a and draw Art Student and Flashlight.

I gained a resource, paid 4 to play .45 Automatic (with 4 ammo) and investigated (drawing 0 with 4 base against 1 difficulty and gaining another clue and a resource). I then advanced the act (paying 3 clues to shuffle the encounter discard pile and “Jazz” Mulligan into the encounter deck and advance to act 2a).

I ended the round by gaining a resource and drawing “If It Bleeds...”.

Round Four began with adding a doom to agenda 1a before I drew Beyond The Veil and added it to my threat area.

I paid 4 to discard Dr. Milan Christopher and play Beat Cop and travelled to Science Building (adding 1 clue and putting the Alchemy Lab into play) via the Miskatonic Quad.

I ended the round by adding 1 resource and drawing Inquiring Mind.

Round Five began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Whippoorwill and spawned it at Science Building.

I fought the Whippoorwill (drawing 0 with 4 base against 2 difficulty so killing the Whippoorwill and gaining a clue from Science Building), used a free action to pay the clue to discard 10 cards from the encounter deck but not finding 'Jazz' and moved to the Orne Library (adding 1 clue) via Miskatonic Quad.

At the end of the turn I gained 1 resource and drew Smoking Pipe and discarded Flashlight.

Round Six began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a (completing it, removing all doom counters in play and advanced to agenda 2a) before I drew Eager For Death (drawing cultist for -1 with 3 base against 2 difficulty so avoiding any ill-effects).

I paid 1 to play Magnifying Glass, investigated (drawing 0 with 4 base against 2 difficulty so succeeded and gaining a clue), paying the clue to discard the top 10 cards of the encounter deck (drawing 'Jazz' Mulligan and putting him into play at the Orne Library. This advanced the act to act 3 and added the Experiment to the Alchemy Lab) for free and Parleyed with 'Jazz' (drawing 0 with 3 base against 3 difficulty so taking control of 'Jazz').

I ended the round by gaining a resource and drawing “If It Bleeds...” before I discarded Flashlight, Art Student and “If It Bleeds...”.

Round Seven began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Beyond The Veil, which surged to Wizard of Yog Sothoth, which spawned to the Orne Library.

I paid 1 from .45 Automatic to fight the Wizard of Yog Sothoth (Drawing +1 with 5 base so doing 2 damage) and fighting the Wizard (drawing skull for -1 with 4 base and doing 1 damage, killing the Wizard of Yog Sothoth and putting it into the victory display) and travelling to the Miskatonic Quad.

I ended the round by adding a resource and drawing Dynamite Blast before discarding Smoking Pipe.

Round Eight began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Visions of Futures Past (drawing cultist for -1 with 3 base against 5 difficulty and discarding Machete, First Aid and Paranoia, which discarded all my resources).

I was at this point faced with a choice, go after Professor Rice, evacuate the students or try and kill the Experiment. One look at the stats for the Experiment told me that it was probably not a viable option (at least without the Shotgun) so I opted to move to the Dormitories (going for the whole “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” way of thinking). I moved to the Dormitories (adding 3 resources), investigated (drawing -2 and gaining a clue) and investigated (drawing 0 and claiming a clue).

At the end of the round I gained a resource and drew Dodge before discarding Evidence!.

Round Nine began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a, advancing it and moving the Experiment to the Science Building before I drew Ancient Evils and added a doom counter to agenda 3a.

I investigated (drawing Elder Sign for +1 and claiming a clue), then paid 3 clues to move to Resolution 2.

Resolution 2 added the following to the Campaign Log:

• Professor Rice was kidnapped.

• The students were rescued.

• I gained 2 experience (from the Dormitories and the Wizard of Yog Sothoth) which I opted to save..

Could you maybe talk some more about your deck building choices? Why did you only include two weapons in your deck, but eight allies?

I went for 8 allies because of Roland's somewhat low horror rating, planning to grab the one-off effects from them then use them to absorb some of the damage and horror. I'm thinking about spending the experience to put a couple of copies of the event which searches for Weapons because that really isn't enough to ensure a early Weapon (I'm used to playing Jenny, only using her Twin .45's and tending to get them early in practically every game).

Honestly, this early on, I'd just rebuild the deck and re-do the first scenario. It's no fun to get stuck spending experience just to make your deck playable. A couple copies of Prepared For The Worst would do wonders here (either that, or two more weapons, but PftW makes it easier to grab your signature firearm). I'd probably drop Dr. Christopher (he doesn't fit in with a meat shield deck), Bandolier (not enough hand-slot Assets to justify it), or First Aid (you've got a lot of more efficient horror-healing already) for them, but obviously you know your long-term strategy better than I do (eg, Bandolier makes sense if you're planning to buy a Shotgun, while Dr. Christopher makes sense if you're going to get Charisma, that sort of thing).

The Dunwich Legacy Scenario 1: The House Always Wins (Standard difficulty solo Roland Banks)

Following rsdockery' suggestion I decided to redo my deck and start the campaign again. I used this deck: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/39856

I started with 5 resources and a opening hand (after a mulligan) containing Bandolier, Dr. Milan Christopher, First Aid, Hperawareness and Prepared For The Worst.

I setup the scenario by putting many cards aside, putting the starting locations into play (with Roland and 1 clue at La Bella Luna and the Clover Club Pit Boss at the Clover Club Lounge) and shuffling the encounter deck.

I started Round One by paying 1 to play Prepared For The Worst (putting Roland's .38 Special into hand and shuffling my deck), paying 3 to play Roland's .38 Special (with 4 ammo) and drew Working A Hunch.

In the enemy phase the Clover Club Pit Boss moved to the La Bella Luna.

I ended the round by gaining a resource and drawing Kukri.

Round Two began with agenda 1a gaining a doom counter before I drew Arousing Suspicions (adding 1 doom to the Clover Club Pit Boss).

I moved to the Clover Club Lounge, then to the Clover Club Cardroom before I paid 2 resources to trigger the Clover Club Cardroom's ability (drawing 0 and gaining 2 clues).

In the enemy phase the Clover Club Pit Boss moved to the Clover Club Lounge.

I ended the round by adding a resource and drawing Knife.

Round Three began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a before I drew Something In The Drinks, which surged to Twist Of Fate ( I drew 0 and took 1 damage).

I added a resource, paid 2 to trigger the ability on Clover Club Cardroom (drawing -2 and gaining 2 clues), which forced me to remove my 4 clues to advance the act to act 2, putting the Darkened Hall into play (and discarding cards from the encounter deck until I placed a Mobster into the Darkened Hall) before I travelled to the Darkened Hall (putting the three copies of Back Hall Doorway into play).

In the enemy phase the Clover Club Pit Boss moved to the Clover Club Cardroom.

I ended the turn by gaining a resource and drawing Laboratory Assistant.

Round Four began with adding a doom counter to agenda 1a, removing all doom counter and advancing to agenda 2a (which means that all the Criminals lose Aloof, which is bad) before I drew Something In The Drinks, which surged to Cursed Luck, which I added to my threat area.

I paid 1 from Roland's .38 to fight the Mobster (drawing 0, succeeding and doing 2 damage, killing the Mobster and discarding Cursed Luck), moved to a Ball Hall Doorway (flipping it to the Art Gallery and adding 1 clue) and investigated (drawing +1 and gaining a clue).

In the enemy phase the Clover Club Pit Boss moved to the Darkened Hall.

At the end of the turn I gained a resource and drew .45 Automatic before I discarded Knife.

Round Five began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a before I drew Twist Of Fate (drawing +1 for no ill-effects).

I moved to the Darkened Hall, paid 1 from Roland's .38 to fight the Clover Club Pit Boss (drawing -1 and doing 2 damage) and paid 1 from Roland's .38 to fight the Clover Club Pit Boss (drawing 0 and doing 2 damage, killing him).

Since there were no enemies in play I ended the round by adding a resource and drawing Art Student, then discarded Laboratory Assistant.

Round Six began with adding a doom counter before I drew Something In The Drinks, which surged to Cursed Luck, which I added to my threat area.

I moved to the next Back Hall Doorway (flipping it to the VIP Area with 1 clue), paid 2 to play Working A Hunch and discover the clue on VIP Area, paid the 2 clues to advance the act to act 3a (since this is the first scenario of the campaign I put Dr. Francis Morgan into play in the VIP Area and advanced to act 3a, “All In”) and parleyed with Dr. Francis Morgan (I risked committing Hyperawareness and the .45 Automatic and drew -1, succeeding and adding 1 clue to Dr. Francis Morgan putting him under my control).

At the end of the round I gained a resource and drew “If It Bleeds...”.

Round Seven began with adding a doom counter to agenda 2a, advancing it (putting a Servant of the Lurker into the Clover Club Lounge and shuffling more cards into the encounter deck and removed La Bella Luna from the game) before I drew Dissonant Voices and added it to my threat area.

I travelled to the Darkened Hall, then to the last Back Hall Doorway (flipping it to the Back Alley with 1 clue) before I resigned.

Since I had resigned with Dr. Francis Morgan under my control I advanced to resolution 2, which told me that:

• The O'Bannion Gang has a bone to pick with me.

• Dr. Francis Morgan was rescued (I added him to my deck).

• I gained 3 experience (Clover Club Pit Boss, Art Gallery and VIP Area) and paid them to play Charisma (deciding to go the path of more allies over a early shotgun).

The Dunwich Legacy Scenario 2: Extracurricular Activity (Standard difficulty solo Roland Banks)

For this scenario I used this deck: https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/39856

My Campaign Log was:

• The O'Bannion Gang has a bone to pick with me.

• Dr. Francis Morgan was rescued.

I started with 5 resources and the Charisma permanent. My opening hand (after a mulligan) was “If It Bleeds...”, Dodge, Dynamite Blast, Hyperawareness and Roland's .38 Special.

I setup the scenario by putting many cards aside, putting the starting locations into play (with Roland at Miskatonic Quad) and shuffling the encounter deck.

I started Round One by paying 3 to play Roland's .38 Special (with 4 ammo), moved to the Science Building (adding 1 clue and putting the Alchemy Lab into play) and investigated (drawing a cultist for -1 and claiming the clue).

I paid 1 experience to move onto Curse of the Rougarou and randomly selected my basic weakness (I keep the basic weaknesses in a pile face down, aside from the copies of Indebted, and blind select one so that I wouldn't know what the weakness was initially), unfortunately randomly drawing Indebted so I started with 3 resources and the Charisma permanent.

• The Rougarou is destroyed and the curse is lifted.

• Added Lady Esprit to my deck.

• Gained no experience.

Liking the story so far!

As a heads up for Aloof enemies (Whipoorwhil and Rougarou), they do not auto-engae you and you cannot attack them if not engaged. You must spend an action to engage in order to spend a 2nd action to attack (for the Rougarou you also need to spend clues as part of the engage action).

Adam Lynch's death should also have added another token to the chaos bag (in addition to the token from taking the necronomicon).

Darn it., I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever remember the way Aloof enemies work. As it is I'll put the other token into the chaos bag for Essex County Express (which I'm not particularly looking forward to since it's where the last campaign ended).

Yeah, it took us forever to figure out aloof enemies.

The whipoorwhils are so **** annoying. We either ignore them and try to lure them to the least troublesome location....or just beat cop them/ have Zoey engage while her cross is in play.

Just remember that the hunter keyword is separate from the Aloof keyword, so Hunters still follow you around.

And the second part is just that they never auto-engage and you have to engage to attack them.

The whips are really annoying when you get multiple on the board. With more than one investigator you can leave someone in a space to lock them down while the other investigator(s) are free to move around.

Exactly!

I have a two investigator campaign going and we've had to plan our movements just to counter those stupid birds from following us to the wrong location.

Blood on the Altar was the big one. A lot of effort was spent to stop the whips from going into the hidden chamber.
