Description Edit | History
The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It's a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the war to end all wars.
Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined domination.
Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they Prevail?

Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. It's up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close portals to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many portals open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world. Defeat the Ancient One in combat!

5 Sister Mary updated Investigator Sheet
This is the updated Investigator Sheet for Sister Mary with Kevin Wilson's suggestion of her added special ability. Print this using the Strange Eons program. From Kevin Wilson (as posted on FFG): Alternatives: Sister Mary (08/24/06) I've been thinking about Sister Mary (the Nun) lately, in response to the general dissatisfaction with her abilities. What if she could pay 1 clue token to re-roll her Blessing upkeep roll? That way she could still lose it (out of clues, cursed, etc.) but she has a much greater chance of holding onto the blessing for a significant portion of the game. Personally, I've always liked her, but after many, many games, I guess I have to say that she could use a boost.

3 Arkham Horror con Director de Juego: VARIANTE DJ
Leyendo la Regla 12 de Richard Launius podemos comprobar que la capacidad de decisión del Director de Juego es mínima, limitándose la mayor parte de la partida a labores que podemos llamar “administrativas”. El objetivo de la Variante DJ es aumentar el papel del guardián o director-a de juego y hacerlo más atractivo, tanto para el jugador que ejerza de DJ, como para el resto de jugadores.
