So far from what I have researched I found these error on cards, not everything is bad really, there is just one that is kind of really bad.

Some errata that is alright (You should not run into problems if you know the rules and the corrected versions):

• Machete card wording (It doesn't specify the timing, but it should be after you are succesful, like Sledgehammer (3) and Broken Bottle)
• Lie in wait (Same as Machete, does not clarify timing. But no official response) - Miguel de la Cruz
• Hunter's Instinct (2) from Miguel de la Cruz is missing the text about discarding after is empty like on Hunter's Instinct (0)
• Fight action issue on player aid cards (It makes you understand that you can ONLY fight engaged enemies, but this is not the case
• Scrape by card wording (It should be Automatically Success instead of just Success)
• On the Beat typo "while while" - Tommy Muldoon
• Decoy Trap typo "get get" - Miguel de la Cruz
• Chaos bag tokens visual reference in rulebook (but not in the Campaing guide)
• Joe Diamond signature card Detective's Intuition has the same art as Establish Motive from Carolyn Fern

The one that is really bad as you usually rely on quick visual cues like icons to play:

• Endurance (3) missing wild icon (No other level 3 talent card is missing this wild icon) - This is just an assumption though as it could be a "nerf" to the guardian class

FFG have not yet published an official errata but have talked about some cards.

So if you have any more error that you noticed please share them

Also witht this maybe we can help FFG get all these errors right for the second printings.

Thank you!

Hi, everyone. Here’s a provocative question. 😃

So I just saw under the other Dunwiches question that almost everyone was praising the 5th scenario, Blood on the Altar. I’ve also noticed before that many people consider it one of the best scenarios. My question is, why is that the case—why does the community like it so much?

I’ve played through the entire Dunwich campaign about a dozen times. I’ve also played through 5 other campaigns and 6 standalone packs. I felt that Blood on the Altar was one of the worst scenarios. It’s definitely the worst of the Dunwich ones (alongside Undimensioned..., of course).

For me, Blood on The Altar is not a satisfying experience at all. It takes me 10 minutes just to set up, which is longer than the setup time for many other scenarios... Then it’s over in about 10–15 minutes, and I barely had to do anything. After all, you just have to pick up the key from one location and find the chamber under another. Then there’s only the main enemy left, which is ridiculously easy to kill—just run in and out, landing a few hits along the way (or picking up a few clues). So neither the plot nor the main antagonist is special, and it doesn’t keep the player engaged for very long. There’s absolutely nothing extraordinary about it. Perhaps sacrificing the helpers isn’t a bad idea, but this doesn’t really make the scenario much harder, since the villagers usually only sacrifice 1–2 less important NPCs. In my opinion, neither the encounter deck nor the location artwork is particularly remarkable either. So I’m completely baffled by the scenario’s popularity. There are plenty of scenarios in Dunwich that are much better, more unique, more substantial, or graphically more appealing, such as Lost in Time And Space... or even Extracurricular Activity. And of course, there are plenty of much better, more substantial scenarios in the later campaigns as well.

So, for those who like Blood in Altart, why do you like it? I’m really curious. 😃

Thanks for the replies.

Hello everyone,

I got a core set of Arkham Horror (the older version) less than six months ago. We played our first game a few days ago. Coming here to learn more, I noticed that a new core set has been released and everyone is suggesting not to buy anything for Chapter 1 because everything is sold out. Here in France, I can purchase the complete campaigns for:

- Dunwich > €63 + Investigators €40

- Carcosa > €63 + Investigator €45

- Forgotten Civilization > Out of stock

- The Broken Circle > Out of stock

- Dream Eaters > Out of stock

- Innsmouth > Out of stock

- To the Edge of the Earth > €64 + Investigator €41

- The Scarlet Keys > €64 + Investigator €41

Since I don't know much about this, would it be worthwhile to:

- buy the first two campaigns and maybe the last two, or will I be missing too much in between?

Do the campaigns' stories follow a sequential order?

- Buy just the first two and then move on to chapter 2.

- Buy just one and see if I still enjoy it.

- Buy nothing and go straight to season 2, leaving a core box empty (was this a pointless purchase?).

Thank you,

Does it cost one of the three actions during your turn to play a skill card? I'm pretty sure it's discarded aftewards. But when can I play these cards? and does it take a turn during the investigation turn to play a skill card?

New player here - With the availability of legacy campaigns being limited I just wanted to ask the community... I can access Dunwich legacy expansion pack + museum + Essex county Express + Blood on the altar for a reasonable price.

Is it worth it to buy these and these only - and essentially have a mini campaign? Or will this be deeply unsatisfying? I am not a completionist and the last 3 mythos packs are prohibitively expensive. So is the campaign expansion standalone.

Thoughts??

Hey folks! Big Marvel Champions fan here, been thinking about dipping my toes in AH. I hear there's a Chapter 2 now that is a good jumping on point? Is it just a new core set or are there other packs and such available for it? Should I be looking to pick up anything from Chapter 1?

Greetings! I'm looking for a group or two to play AHLCG(if that wasn't obvious enough) with online through nefarious(not really) means and forbidden knowledge. If you know, you know. The reason why I'm asking over here instead of on Mythos Busters or other Discord servers is that I have stopped using Discord due to extensive issues I have had with the company and a platform as a whole and have left for better lands.

For actual logistic stuff, I am available every single day except for Friday from 6:00PM PST onwards. I'm actually almost available from about 1:30PM onwards every day except Friday, but I would prefer to play in the evenings. My availability is also subject to change in the following months as I build a different schedule for my studies.

I enjoy playing every campaign. I haven't beaten TFA or TSK or HV, but I have played at least a little bit of them. I am open to playing all sorts of roles as I am constantly building decks and have plenty of options for supportive decks, enemy handlers, clue gatherers, and flexes.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you're looking for more players in a group. I would much prefer to stick with a group that exists beyond just one campaign as I am looking to make more friends and build rapport with others even outside of sessions. I would also prefer to join pre-existing groups as it is easier for me to connect with a group of folks who know each other as opposed to three strangers put into a room. 3-4 players is the sweet spot, but I think I prefer 3 players the most.

Have a good one!

Edit: I mostly play Legacy on Standard for the most deckbuilding choices, but I wouldn't mind trying Current or other difficulties. Well, I would hesitate a bit as it would be different than what I am used to.

I have a nice idea for a custom standalone side scenario for AHLCG and I’m wondering what resources there are to design the cards and everything. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been tracking down a couple of Arkham Horror LCG campaigns and investigator boxes that are hard to find, but the versions I found are all in Spanish. I was thinking about just buying them and translating everything into English myself by sleeving the cards and maybe putting little translation slips/papers in each sleeve or something like that.

Has anybody here done this before? Are there any good resources for card text/translations, or is this way more work than I’m imagining? Also curious what people’s opinions are on whether this is worth doing or if I should just wait and keep hunting for English copies instead.

* Does engaging an enemy provoke attacks of opportunity from the enemy you engage? I think the answer must be "no", but the rules seem slightly ambiguous here.

* Does engaging an enemy provoke attacks of opportunity from other enemies you're already engaged with. Here I assume the answer is "yes".

* What happens if Zoe's Smite the Wicked is drawn in Miskatonic Museum and The Hunting Horror is already in play or in the void?

* If an encounter card tells you to "search the encounter deck" for something, can you choose which card to find? So for instance, can you choose an Acolyte rather than a Wizard of the Order if you're asked to find a cultist?

* If players Resign from Blood on the Altar after finding the Hidden Chamber, but before entering it, do they get the two bonus XP because it is clear of clues and revealed? Seems weird if they do, but I can't see any reason why they wouldn't.

* There's a misprint on the location connection icons in BotA, right? I mean, there must be?

Just throwing a bottle in the water but I'm looking for circle undone, hemlock vale, drowned city campaign and investigators in french.

I'm also looking for innsmouth investigators.

I look at most french stores but now I'm trying to reach out worldwide stores because maybe canada or somewhere else will have those laying on a shelf somewhere

> ... While this product type shares its name with the campaign expansions from Chapter One, it is important to note that these campaigns will no longer be thematically tied to investigator expansions going forward.

> ...As we touched on above, these expansions will no longer be thematically tied to any campaign expansions going forward, which means you could get a campaign covering one piece of the Arkham Horror story or setting and then later get an investigator expansion that covers something completely different!

(Bolding mine.)

This kind of bums me. Investigator Decks already cover "release random not themed together" investigators. I don't get why they're not going to do Investigator Expansions alongside the new campaign expansions. Sure, maybe not every campaign needs it... But it created so much good synergy to have mechanically and thematically linked investigators for each of the expansions. (And of course the cards that go with them.)

Them being linked also made it a hell of a lot easier (especially for mental effort) to manage the collection.

My storage for player cards has effectively hit its limit, basically right on time too.

Campaigns though are simple enough to keep purchasing, fan or official.

Hi everyone,

Quick rules question: if a card with a doom token on it is placed under the Act deck, does the doom get removed or does it stay on the card?

Thanks!
