Ally and Profile

By Krysmopompas, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hey, was there a massive overhaul as to which illustrations you can use as a profile pic? I lost my fave Erich Weiss, undoubtedly eaten by the Tcho-Tcho Priest here...

Anyway, main question. That Ally from one of the Arkham Horror books - I forget his name. I want to order the book if it's still in print, so I'll go looking.

Are there any more allies one can get from buying those Arkham Horror books?

cheers

Oliver Grayson was the only one from the books, but there was Calvin from the Arkham Horror League, as well as an Ally from the Spanish League. Both of them should be available to look at, in the very least, on the Arkham Horror Wiki here:

I know, I was disappointed that I lost my Pickman--but I got some petrified folks from Elder Sign, so I"m satisfied. -nods-

Yeah, Oliver Grayson. To be honest, not a very large use of the guy in games (no encounters triggering him, so you have to hire him at Ma's) and quite an overpowered ability

Does the book come with the ally card? I have... uh... a "problem" with collecting stuff, so if there is an extra card I can get for the game I would love to have it even if it means buying a book.

You must send in a form that is torn from the back with a small fee of bucks to pay for postage. There is also a - very cool - mythos rumour to get that way too.

Thanks for the info. Is the mythos rumor in a different book?

Guess I have to pick the Dark Pharaoh from a different angle, now.

I miss the old days of upload-your-own-avatar (i.e. forum iterations 1 and 2).

Well, I found that Dark Pharaoh you're using now in its full glory on dA and it's really a good bit of art when it's at it's full size!

Yeah the mythos rumour coupon is in dance of the damned. As far as i know these were the only 2 offers, but i have been away for many months and would not know if there were any further offers. I don't reckon so, as the idea was not terribly popular, given that most people found the novels a bit flat.

I think other Arkham novels had cards for Elder Sign (IIRC); nothing for Arkham apart Oliver and Dance of the Damned

It would be fab if the last two books of the two series had cards for Mansions of Madness , but the only things I can think of off-hand would be new Mythos or Trauma cards.
