I love Arkham a lot but because of my gaming environments I've run into one particular issue. I'm travelling back and forth a lot with my games, and don't always get to finish a game before that happens. We aslo get interrupted a lot, and by the time we're back, we're not about to pick up where we left off until the next day.I've played a lot of Descent thoroughtout the years, and after they started with the RTL, FFG brought in boxes to put everything into when you are done for the night because of the long campaigns. Why don't more games do this? I'd love to see something like this for Arkham. I think I'm going to make some of my own character boxes and a board tracking system, but it would be nice if FFG was to begin doing this even as an accessory that you could buy seperately.
interrupted games
The thing about Arkham is that a typical game is 3 hours, and it's not in a campaign format. There is really no need to treat the game with the same considerations as Descent.
The sour truth is that if you aren't able to play a single Arkham game without interruption, and you're usually not able to set it aside for whatever reason, then Arkham may not be the game for you. Or at least, you may have to find a different Arkham group or play alone.
Not an ideal situation, I'll admit.
One of my groups it isn't a problem with, but the other it is. The one it is a problem with is at work. I work a 96 hour shift and live half the time where I work, so there is a lot of down time. The problem is we don't neccessarily get a long stretch of downtime in one go because sometimes we get interrupted to work. Other times, we could play multiple games lasting all day and not get interrupted once. I understand that the game isn't a campaign like descent, I just used that as an example because it does have the boxes. I do play a lot at home by myself as well. I just figure that I'm probably not the only one out there that has pack up the game sometimes, and would like to see something like this. Either way, I can make something for that purpose easily enough.
