[spoiler WITHIN A SPOILER] There is an additional Cthulhu faction spoiler on the News page. If all goes well I will pick up the new AP tonight and post a complete spoiler (if someone else does not beat me to it). Here we focus on tattooed chicks who will do strange things for their master (my kind of woman):

Questions: Are those permanent? Fur or wool? Where can I get a dozen or so followers fitting that specification?

Mechanics: We get it... AP theme: cost reduction. I am going to take a nap. Wake me up when something interesting happens...

I don't think they are permanent tattoos. Just paint, as part of the ritual. The fur may be part of the transformation taking place.

Phrenologist and the cultist here are in different AP's, and while they are not part of some theme, it shows the different approaches of the two factions to cost reduction. Where Hastur goes for something more combo-ish and long term, Shub goes for cheap, quick and dirty, and focusing more on rush strategy.

So, while Phrenologist is available today, you'll have to wait for the next AP, Perilous Trials to see the Thousand.

From article:

"How many opponents can answer a regular first-turn Y'Golonac (Core Set, F122)?"

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah... and she renews herself...

"How many opponents can answer a regular first-turn Y'Golonac (Core Set, F122)?"

Examples:

First turn: A Single Glimpse, Calling Down the Ancients, Cursed Skull

Second turn: Lord Jeffrey Farrington

Just a start...

However, if playing the game requires that everyone includes first turn Ancient Once meta (and running Eibon) then the franchise is going Titanic anyway.
