Printing fan-made content in China

Has anyone here tried printing fan-made content in China?

I know there are a few companies that offer this in the US and Europe, but the prices seem quite high, especially if you're looking to print a reasonable amount of content.

I'm considering having it printed in China instead, as the unit cost should come down significantly with a larger order.

Has anyone had any experience with this? If so, I'd be interested to hear about it.

I'd also like to gauge whether anyone would be interested in joining a group order. Before organising anything, I plan to place a small test order first to assess the print quality etc.

EDIT: I'm especially interested in what it costs per card from your past orders, eg., from MPC.

Missing Out? Chapter 1 question

Long story short, I started off with the original core box and then got the dunwich legacy deluxe. After a long while I ended up getting the revised core. Skip around a few months and I was able to get almost all the campaigns expect dream eaters, scarlet keys and drowned city. So question is am I missing out on not getting these campaigns? I mean if I really wanted I should be able to get drowned city but the other two?

Edit: for investigator expansions I only have the circle undone, edge of the earth, and the feast of hemlock vale plus Stella Clark investigator decks. I do have the investigators for dunwich too.​

[CHAPTER 1] Advice requested concerning complexity

Hello! I want to start by mentioning I did some digging on here and found some threads with advice, but I wanted to check now that chapter one is complete. I am also feeling quite indecisive, so maybe a comment here will help sway me. :)

I really enjoy Arkham Horror LCG, but after playing the core and Dunwich a while back, I had a hiatus from the game I recently returned to it with the chapter 2 core set, but struggled to get back to grips with the rules, keywords, and flow. Some health issues have meant times of decreased energy and cognitive function, which can make complex games a challenge.

This has made me realize that Chapter 2’s shorter campaigns might be a good fit for me, but even more so, that lower complexity campaigns should be a priority. So I have the new campaign on pre-order, but want to think about the chapter 1 content that might fit well for me in my current situation.

Assuming I have access to all of Chapter 1 except Scarlet Keys, what would you suggest as campaigns that feel a bit simpler to run, in terms of keywords, interactions, tracking, etc.? I am not as concerned about difficulty in winning (though more likely to win in true solo is a plus), but more so on the mental load of setting up and playing.

I already know Dunwich and Carcosa will be two of the least complex, but I see some differing opinions when it comes to others. Some say Forgotten Age isn‘t too bad, others say it is among the most complex. I have seen Edge of the Earth mentioned as a good starter campaign for new players, while others say it is a box that had a big jump up in complexity from previous ones. Similarly, I have seen Innsmouth mentioned as easy to run, and others say it is a lot.

I would also be interested in hearing thoughts on the complexity of standalones.

tl;dr - now that chapter 1 is complete, how would you rank the campaigns and/or standalone scenarios in order of complexity (managing the campaign, tracking things, card interactions, keywords, and just the general amount of mental energy required to play)?

Thanks in advance.

Extra Core Set Stuff (Chapter 1)

I have some spare stuff mostly from Chapter 1 core sets. Punched and unpunched tokens, investigator cards, encounter/scenario cards, and dividers. Does anyone want these before they meet their end in the garbage can? If paying shipping is worth it to you, let me know.

[CHAPTER 1] Return to the Circle Undone in stock, EU , 35 euros

Hello! Just ordered one for a friend, as I already have a copy, and wanted to share for anyone in the EU looking for this box. I have ordered from here before, and also already received my order of this. Even if you don’t own The Circle Undone Campaign or Investigator Expansions, the tarot deck that comes with the box is pretty cool! Hoping they will release a new tarot-themed set in Chapter 2!

This is an English language copy. You can also change the website to English at the top left. Please note, I believe shipping is within the EU only.

Chapter 2 reprint status? (And if yes, are quality issues fixed?

I was wondering if anybody knew what the reprint status was on the chapter 2 core box. I was hoping they’d address the quality issues people were reporting, so I’ve been holding off on getting it.

Thoughts and suggestions for someone who’s trying to love this game

For context I love difficult games. I don’t mind losing and having to live with bad decisions. But this game feels like your success leans heavily on how you build your deck before the scenario starts.

when I fail a scenario it often feels like it’s due to my deck lacking something. This totally takes me out of the survival horror/ mystery solving because i seldomly look back and think about what choices i should have made differently during game play. For example in eldritch horror, i retrace my steps, items ive obtain, actions taken and re think my strategy when I run it again. But in Arkham horror LCG, I don’t pick up and build as i go. A lot of the game is done before the game starts and I’m bringing my bag of tricks into the next scenario.

Resource management are at odds when im top decking equipment I haven’t earned through deck building during the scenario compared to other deck building games( legendary marvel and legendary alien comes to mind)

I’m genuinely trying to give this game a chance. I played through the starter campaign and have a few of the expansions along with investigator packs. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions

Thank you

[Spanish] My fanmade Promo Cards

Hi again! I have been posting some of my promo cards for AHLCG events here in Spain translated from Spanish to English, and now I bring to you all the original cards (well, most of them 🤔)
I'll try to explain some of them, as most won't make any sense if you don't understand Spanish:

¡Euskera!: Euskera is a language from northern Spain, from a region named Basque country, and it sounds very similar to Eureka! The card is entirely translated into this language, and I modified the original image to include a txapela, a type of headwear typical from this region.

Avalancha de erratas: this card's title is spelled very similarly to "Avalancha de ratas" (Swarm of rats), and it would translate to something like "Swarm of erratas". It is made of erratas, obviously.

Batidora: in Spanish, batidor means pathfinder, and batidora means blender, so you blend them together and... batidor con batidora.

Blob Jenkins: same joke as the English version: Blob Jenkins.

Ceñirse al Flan.

Shrivelling was translated into Spanish as Consunción. Consumición, however, means beverage (usually a free one, the one you would get when attending an event). I reused this one for 3 events, so our players would eventually get a full set. Also, it was a great reminder that we were giving a free consumición during some of our events.

Overpower was translated into Spanish as Dominar. which sounds quite similar to a certain game... The text also references yet another game: chess. (and yes, the tiles are wrong on purpose).

Falta de entusiasmo.

Hucha de bombero: Hacha means axe, and Hucha means piggy bank (or a box that stores money). This one not only uses similar words, but similar meanings too, and it makes sense that the axe gets heavier when you load it with money! This was the first illustration I did all by myself, and one of my favourites.

Lego Anderson.

Lego de Luca.

Maracas.

Tarta de los evos: Eon chart was translated as carta de los evos. Tarta means cake, and sounds quite similar to carta. One of the very fist I made. I guess it could work in English with something like "eon tart".

Hope you like them!

Can you use Guerrilla Tactics at your current location?

https://arkhamdb.com/card/60564

Since the card says "may" it seems like you can use it at your current location.

If so do you still count "as if engaged with that enemy"? Or does that part does only count if used to target an enemy at a connecting location?

Need help pricing my husband's Arkham LCG collection (Selling to help with some bills)

Hi everyone.

My husband absolutely loves this game, but we’re a bit short on cash right now and he's made the tough decision to part with his collection. I told him I would handle figuring out the details and making the post so he doesn't have to stress over it.

Since I don't play (but I know some stuff is out of print) I really don't want to get lowballed, but I also want to offer a price that will move these quickly. Ideally to someone who actually appreciates it. He mentioned that some people look to buy these in big batches so they don't have to hunt.

Could you guys give me a realistic idea of what a fair asking price for this whole lot would be? Here is what we have:

* Revised Core Set

* Edge of the Earth (Player & Campaign expansions)

* The Dunwich Horror (Player & Campaign expansions)

* The Path to Carcosa (Player & Campaign expansions)

* The Circle Undone (Campaign expansion ONLY – no player cards. Some scenarios still sealed)

* The Forgotten Age (Campaign expansion ONLY – no player cards, completely new, unopened/sealed.)

* Return to The Circle Undone (Includes the large tarot cards)

* Murder at the Excelsior Hotel (Standalone scenario)

*War of the Outer Gods (standalone scenario)

* 5 Standalone Investigator Starter Decks (Nathaniel Cho, Harvey Walters, Winifred Habbamock, Jacqueline Fine, Stella Clark)

Storage & Accessories:

He's particular about how everything are stored. The campaign cards and guides are all kept safely in their original boxes with the campaign.

The player cards and manuals are kept in a gorgeous custom wooden chest, sorted by class.

We also have 4 token holders that fit perfectly right into the campaign boxes.

I have some pics. They're not sleeved but they've never been bent/shuffled (we have a card shuffler) and they're stored with silica gel packs.

Thank you so much in advance for your help! I really appreciate any insight you can offer.

How many of you play with digital or physical tokens?

One of the things I always hated about this game was drawing tokens, and while I still hate the dreaded Autofail, a lot of my dislike comes from the bag being too small and feeling like I never got a true shuffle.

I play with an app now for deckbuilding, note tracking, and log keeping, but most importantly for token draws. Plus, I love that it gives me a percentage of how likely I am to pass or fail based on my current stats.

Confusion with the Second edition with old products and organization.

So long ago I got a original core copy of Arkham horror the card game with The Dunwich Legacy, The Path to Carcosa and The Forgotten Age and their corresponding mythos packs. Had those for awhile then last year I picked up a Revised Set Core to have updated rule books and to be able to play with more people besides the two with the Original Core Box. Know leading to yesterday I grabbed the Second Edition since it has a new stuff. Now, how is everyone organizing it all? Since most of the old cards wont work in the second edition expansions but can use the new cards backwards for the old expansions. Are you guys just keeping the two editions separated.
