Asylum Packs - all in sets or not?

By valvorik, in CoC General Discussion

When acquiring Asylum packs now important is it to obtain all in a cycle (other than to see the whole story inclined in boxes)?

Thanks.

Not really important to get every pack of a cycle. The cards will generally work fine even if you have only the core set and one asylum pack.

Though getting AP 13 is a key AP for those who want to use the Day/Night mechanics.

Thanks for answer and pointer re #13

Sorry to ask a question that has probably been answered a hundred times but which AP exactly is #13? I'm very new to the game, I've just bought the core game, Arkham and the six Dreamlands expansions gran_risa.gif .

Can't open them until Xmas though llorando.gif

Timbo

Twilight Horror, not related to a "vampire" setting, though the name suggests it gran_risa.gif .

If the wait is too much and you want to drool over the cards (at least what they do), you can always download the spoilers for the APs:

Personally I used the pfds when I bought a mass of 9 APs to add to the mix, weighing the pros and cons of each AP.

E.g. for Dreamlands you have the Dreamers, Gugs, Ghouls, Day & Night. For The Yuggoth Contract you have the Mi-Go, the Serpents, Faculty & Students.

If you are just starting with CoC, I'd make it a priority to get all from the current AP cycle first, since these contain three copies of every card.
