I still have a number of the currently available scenario's to play, but I want to commit some of my current thoughts of the ones I
have
played. And rank them for myself.
I will update this entry as I play more, or possibly re-evaluate. And to add new scenario's as they come available.
This is the current list of available scenario's:
- Cycle of Eternity
- Escape from Innsmouth
- Shattered Bonds
- Rising Tide
- Dearly Departed
- Cult of Sentinel Hill
- What Lies Within
- Gates of Silverwood Manor
- Vengeful Impulses
I "own" all except Cult of Sentinel Hill, and am not particularly eager to get the corresponding physical product for just that one scenario.
Even if it adds other things as well, of course.
Anyway, I have played the first four, which are the ones that come with the Second Edition Base Game. It was good to see that they do incorporate things from other products, such as the First Edition Base Game, which I also own.
Thoughts on the scenario's I have played:
- Cycle of Eternity - Expected entry-level scenario. Nothing fancy, but engaging.
- Escape from Innsmouth - Love it. Very, very engrossing and scary.
- Shattered Bonds - Fun, a mansion scenario with some nice gimmicks.
- Rising Tide - More investigation, less action. Felt it was too long for what it offered.
- Vengeful Impulses - Fun, though text heavy and little combat. Clue on steroids.
- What Lies Within - Brilliant, simply brilliant. Best Mansion of madness.
- Dark Reflections - Fun scenario. Mirrors become a creepy thing.
- Gates to Silverwood Manor - A true Mythos haunted house. Very cool "loop" with different endings.
My current ranking:
- Escape from Innsmouth
- What Lies Within
- Gates to Silverwood Manor
- Shattered Bonds
- Dark Reflections
- Cycle of Eternity
- Vengeful Impulses
- Rising Tide
What are your favorites, or least favorites? Why? Please try to avoid spoilers in this thread. Thanks!
