Morning all,

Was talking to my group last night about how Dream Eaters is set up, as we're looking at starting the campaign after our next two sessions. Having explained how it seems to be two four-scenario campaigns that may or may not affect each other - no spoilers, please - conversation turned to who people might want to run (in what is normally a 3-person group) for the campaign.

Given you're likely to not get much time to pump XP into a deck, someone like Norman would probably struggle, whereas someone like Patrice (who really only needs 4XP to be pretty much set) can be rolling after one scenario.

For those of you who've played the campaign - and, again, without spoilers - which Investigators do you think do, and don't, work well with the structure of Dream Eaters?

Anyone can work. The scenarios in DE give twice the xp to compensate for the shorter campaign.

I'd actually look at things the other way: Since you're only going to be playing the investigator for 4 scenarios, picking someone who has a rough time without exp (Patrice, many Rogues, etc.) might be a poor idea since you'll spend a larger proportion of the campaign (1/4 scenarios rather than 1/8+) in that not-reached-full-potential state.
