New sneak peek at next expansion!

By Curator, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Oh no! Harney jones shack will be closed? That's so cruel!

Becomes kinda pointless if you get the Harney is dead encounter first, Shack closed down for the game already.

*Sigh* you guys are missing the point...

The fact that the components in the expansion tie to all the other expansions. If you notice they have the Dunnwich and King in Yellow symbols on the card.

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother with these forums...

I see a topic before mine ranting about delusion ... I then try to kill that fear with proof..then get snide remarks about the preview instead of the revelation. You guys are better than this.

Hey, curator, I appreciated the link. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe if that was your point, you might have somehow emphasised it? Besides, nothing new in those icons, DH preview already showed Injury/Madness cards to have that icon, not a stretch to connect the dots from one icon to two.

Sadly, that link mentions only Mythos cards for AH base game, still hoping it won't be just base game locations.

Wth? a blight that helps the investigators?! lowering the monster limit means less crowded streets...

Well, lowering the monster limit means more monsters piling up in the outskirts. But yeah, the Harney Jones blight isn't that powerful compared to, say, the Sheriff.

Very interesting idea that they are making people go insane in other towns. Bravo FFG!

I, too, appreciate the picture. But...to be honest not something I didn't already know ^_^ With the exception of what Hareny's card does exactly. Already knew the implications of this expansion :-D

Looks like the blight cards will include allies from the other locations too.

Thanks Curator! I think this is really great news. I thought that the new cards that were listed for each expansion might only be linked to that expansion, to maximise the sales base. But, it appears otherwise. This might mean that even though the new mythos cards are listed as being for the base game, they might be linked to Dunwich or Innsmouth! More gates on the other boards would be great :o) The cross-expansion theme linkage is nice in itself anyway though.

I'm now actually feeling optimistic about this expansion.

Anyone else think that poor ol' Harney just wants a hug? Or that he's a brain-feast away from becoming a zombie?

Maybe he's holding a severed head in each hand and they just cropped the art gran_risa.gif .
