Dont get that with the dice roll, what happens if no dice are equal to elders Honor?

I don't understand much of your proposed Variant rules, I think I understand what they are to do gameplay wice, but dont understand why/how to use your rules, maybe you can explain?

No, I think you are on the right track with a unified track. Your number 4 result should just be changed to something else. That'll fix the Investigation spread for 1-3 players so that there are 2 results out of 6 that generate Investigation somehow.

True. Mystery cards differs quite a lot in their potential/disasterous strength. But it would be impossible to create them all equal...

It's not even necessary as long as they all actually stay in play. When you start discarding them, however, then you can end up really watering down the game a bit.

I win most of my two-player co-op games as it is.

Perhaps your queue idea would work if you did the following:

When you you have more "Remains in Play" Mystery cards than your "quota" (determined by the # of co-op players), all players can agree to move the Shadow Track 2 to discard the oldest Mystery Card.

Or alternately, when you have more than your quota of remains in play cards, you can choose and discard ANY one, but if you do, then you have to draw 2 Mystery cards.

If it's an option that's painful, then that'll keep it balanced. If the remains in play cards are weak, players will accept more of them. If they are really powerful, people will trade them out. It will also be something that won't automatically occur, so it won't happen as frequently.

Would the scaled villain heal also imply to innate regeneration a la the Bog Fiend? When I've fought him in two player co-op, he's either a cakewalk or just plain impossible, largely depending on whether you can defeat him in a single round. His regeneration does NOT scale evenly. It's a ton of healing for 2 co-op players, but not much at all for 6. So your healing system looks interesting.

I haven't played with the Bog Fiend yet, so it wasn't intended for his regeneration during a fight - althought it could be applied in the same way (i.e. 1D3+2 for 5 players, or 1,2,2 for 2 players). This surely needs some testing with more players, first.

Your Mystery cards remaining in play comments are valid, but only to a point. That's why I feel that Brother Marcus is so strong compared to other characters, and why the the Town Items Allies (Allies Expansion) and Monastery Items (Monastery Expansions) are so useful against remains in play cards.

With the expansion, there was quite large increase in "remains in play" cards... as well as a few "usefull" events/items to deal with - but that could be difficult, still (as per my experience). You are right about the brother Marcus.

Unfortunately, not all of these Mystery remains in play cards are created equal. Compare one that grants a +1 to combat vs. one that grants +1 wound AND +1 to combat, for example. I think 2 remains in play cards + a weather card in a 2 player co-op isn't very much to deal with (probably too easy most of the time). Since remains in play cards often impact the end game (if they are villain bonuses), if they are discarded at some point before the end game then that's like retroactively never having drawn a mystery card every time a remains in play card gets punted. For example, if a +1 to Villain combat card comes out and is later discarded, then instead of hazing you in the long run, it probably did nothing (like you drawing no mystery card at all). You could have a queue like this but it should either be larger OR you should have to draw another Mystery card every time you discard a non-weather remains in play card. Alternately you could somehow tie it to the track stage.

I think the queue for Mystery cards will get a bit intrusive, since there are a lot of these in Something Wicked and the expansion sets. Perhaps a modification on the co-op chart, free investigation each round, or a modification to lair costs could be tied to the number of remains in play cards. Regardless, the problem as I see it is that these are not all of equal power. I've had games with 2-3 remains in play cards where I got crushed and 4-5 where I had a pretty easy time of it.

True. Mystery cards differs quite a lot in their potential/disasterous strength. But it would be impossible to create them all equal...

"The remains in play" for a Showdown should really remain in a play until their effect could count. And as I'm looking through them, they are only +combat or +wound(s).... so one quick fix could be to exchange them to chips for the Villain himself, while you discard them due to a stack removal. Until that moment, you could prevent it from happening as per normal (by removing mystery card effect).

I was thinking about the Queue chart - something with numbered card positions (0 for weather) and short description how to operate them (with an arrow for shifting). I agree however, that this could be quite bothersome or incommodious.

I regularly choose the town gossip as part of my hunting party to blast the excess "remains in play" cards. It's actually a strategy I've used in co-op play to start a showdown with one Hero only and fight just one round before escaping, just to have the gossip blast the mystery cards.

Difficulty scaling with different numbers of players for a cooperative play. With the SW expansion, there is a huge difference between in ex. 2 or 6 players - although it shoudln't be, in my opinion.

I just checked this game out today at my FLGS and put it on my Christmas list. But from looking at the pictures of the components my first order of the day would be to make a new gameboard.

Back on topic...

For some more action oriented fare look for the Solomon Kane stories by Conan authour, Robert E. Howard. Stephen Brust's Phoenix Guard series is lighter in mood with a heavy magic element to it, but the language that Brust uses is great, its like the Three Musketeers meets Harry Potter. A recent novel that seemed to see some heavy sales but has been out long enough to be picked up second-hand now is Susana Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. It's been recommended to me on multiple occasions but I've not read it yet. Another that I've not read but heard good things about is Naomi Novik's Temeraire series. Of everything that I've recommended I'd put the Solomon Kane highest on the list.

IMHO, this is only one of a few functions it has and it is not scaled this way at all. I think that Cooperative Mystery Chart should do (in its core) all the following options:
1. Move the Shadow track by 1, 2 or 3
2. Put the Investigation tokens on a plan in numbers 2, 3 or 4
3. Throws in Villain Chart actions (esp. his Minions)
The rest options could be removed as the flavouring only - they are in Mystery card somehow.

You are right in that, that this game could only benefit through reducing its randomness at many points (i.e. repeated dice curses in movement with only 1, in not gathering investigations through low numbers, or in mystery phase chart). For example, we are currently playing without the need of throw to gather the Investigations from plan - we just allow that you could gather as much as you have your Spirit or Cunnig (or less if you wish, in cooperative play). The movement is a bit a pain, because the randomness here seems to be vital for the game. However, low numbers could still ruin the game for one or two players. On the next time, I want to try out speeding it through Investigations - i.e. two additional points of movement per 1 Investigation, up to the number that could be thrown on the dice (assuming that you have rolled less). But I'm not sure if all this belong here, sorry for running off the theme.

In the end - the mechanics in the Mystery Phase could differ from Cooperative Chart, of course - I'll think more about it. At the moment, throwing with 1 dice for the basic Cooperative Chart will not ruin the game and I don't see it as such a big deal for removing completaly (we can see/wait for the opinions of the othe players here on BGG).

There could be a little too much focus on investigation. In a 2-3 player game there's a 50% of getting some Investigation (from scattered clues or murder). Could be fine. May require playtesting.

I do like the concept of a track that hazes larger groups a bit more.

Would the scaled villain heal also imply to innate regeneration a la the Bog Fiend? When I've fought him in two player co-op, he's either a cakewalk or just plain impossible, largely depending on whether you can defeat him in a single round. His regeneration does NOT scale evenly.

Firstly: with the expansion Something Wicked, the games is much harder than ever before with low number of players (even if you choose Hunter only). And secondly: in my opinion, it's a shame that there is not much difficulty scaling involved - only Villain's basic HPs, all the rest is up to you (i.e. you have to choose the right balance between the level of difficulty and the current number of players on you own).

At the moment, I have a few ideas in my head so I'm starting this thread, in which I'll write them down for others to test. Also, I will probably create and upload some variant sheets for each number of players... but not yet.

A. Level of difficulty for Purists:
1 Hero - Normal with a second Reviving at the end of each Mystery phase
2-3 Heroes - Hunter only
4-5 Heroes - Hunter with the Optional Showdown Chart
6-7 Heroes - Master Hunter
8 Heroes - Insanity
-> If you are not a "Purist", use all or some of the scaling rules starting from paragraph C below.

B. Apocalypse now:
-> If you feel that your games are quite easy OR you wish more a challenge, add in the Apocalypse rule - If a Hero is KO'd 3 times, he is removed from the play entirely.

C. Mystery cards in Play:
-> Playing with the expansion, have you ever wondered what exactly had killed you? It were highly probably the "Remains in play" Mystery cards. Although this rule is only an unofficial recommendation, with the expansion in play it's IMHO a highly recommended and a crucial one - For the "Remains in Play" Mystery cards, there is a Stack: 1 Card for Weather (this remains just the same) and X cards for all other Mystery cards - where X is a number of Heroes at the start of the game. Whenever such a new card comes into play while there is no free place for it, it automatically discards the oldest card in play. This means: as a new Weather card replaces the old one, the new non-Weather "Remains in play" card goes either to the Stack or (if there is no more free room) this card replaces the oldest non-Weather Mystery card in play.

D. Scaled Cooperative Mystery Phase Chart:
-> I simply don't like the new Advanced Cooperative Mystery Phase Chart. I would recommend this kind of a Cooperative Chart:
2-4 - Scattered Clues - Draw a Random Location and place 2 Investigation in that space.
5-6 - Surge of Evil - Roll once on the Villain's Minion Chart and work out the result. If it is a Minion or if the Villain attacks, draw a Random Location for placement.
7 - Creeping Shadow - The Shadow Track immediately moves 1 Step closer to Darkness. The Heroes may collectively take 3 Wounds divided as they see fit to prevent this.
8-9 - "Murder...Murder!" - Draw a Random Location and place 3 Investigation there. Move the Shadow Track 1 step closer to the Darkness. This counts as though the Mystery card "Murder!" had been played (for Villain abilities).
10 - Lies and Deceit - Roll D6 again. Any Town Elder with Honor equal to this roll gains one secret. If this Town Elder has 3 or more unrevealed Secrets already, reveal them instead.
11 - Cursed Village - Immediately draw and resolve one Mystery card. This does not replace the normal Mystery Card for the turn.
12 - March of Darkness - Every Minion on the board immediately moves 2 spaces along the shortest path to the Town Hall. If there are no Minions on the board, instead roll once on the Villain's Minion Chart (re-rolling Event results) and place that Minion at 2 Random Location.
13-14 - Darkness Falls - The Shadow Track immediately moves 2 Steps closer to Darkness. The Heroes may collectively take 5 Wounds divided as they see fit to prevent this.
On each Mystery Phase roll D6 and add the number of Heroes from the beginning of the game, than work out the Result above.

E. Scaled Villain's Heal:
-> After an unsuccesful Showdown, the Villain could - with enough luck - recover in a few turns. This is somewhat disasterous with low players, so I would recommend healing this way: the Villain heals Wounds only up to the number of Heroes from the beginning of the game per turn, limiting the number a dice can roll. On the other hand, for 7 or 8 players add +1 or +2 respectively. This means: higher numbers in Villan's healing roll count only as the highest possible, according to the number of players (i.e. with four Heroes, 5 and 6 is only 4; while with 7 Heroes, the Villain heals 2-7 Wounds per turn).

Any comments? Feel free to test/judge it, it was not fully tested yet.
Also, still more is to come

Yeah, it wasn't that they were murdering me, just that I couldn't kill them,so I couldn't get past them. There was a line of them going from the Town Hall to the Crossroads/Olde Woods, and there was no way I was going to be able to hack my way through. If the Necromancer had been Laired in the Olde Woods, I'd have just given up then and there.

For Minions that are likely to be EVERYWHERE, the Walking Dead are ridiculously tough. Assuming 1-success-per-3-dice, you need 12 dice to reliably kill one!

The first time I played Lucy against the Necromancer, she cleaned up Walking Dead because they almost never rolled more than one "6" and she always forced a re-roll, which tended to fail.

Last week, a friend of mine and I played, with him as Lucy...and the Walking Dead were just chewing him up.

Silopolis — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:17:49 +0000

More or less alone and with nothing on TV, I let the Halloween spirit take me last night. I broke out A Touch of Evil and Hero Pack 1, which I had just bought. I decided I'd play two games, each with two of the Hero Pack heroes, and of course, I'd face the Necromancer!

Game 1: The Foreign Traveler and Lucy Hanbrook vs. The Necromancer.

I could tell before I started that this would be a tough game, but I had no idea! The three starting Walking Dead minions all started in town! One was in Town Hall... meaning that the first Mystery Phase would lose me 2 points on the Shadow Track, as the zombies move in and displace each other out of Town Hall. And it did't get any better.

A couple of rounds in, and there was no way to get into the Old Woods, since the Walking Dead had tied up that entire quarter of the board... and my ladies didn't have a chance in hell of defeating even a single Walking Dead. There was almost no Investigation on the board (no Murders, few Tides of Darkness, etc.), so I couldn't buy anything of use. Both ladies spent time in the Manor and the Windmill, but neither could get anything of use. Lucy came up with a Book of Medicine, but whenever she got attacked, she got KOed.

The Necromancer conquered the town almost without breaking a sweat. Seriously. No Investigation, no chance to ever kill a Walking Dead (neither of my Heroes had more Combat dice than the number of Wounds the Dead have!), which meant that the Shadow Track was sinking like a cruise ship in the North Atlantic. The game was just pooping on me the whole time.

It struck me that the Walking Dead are VERY deadly Minions. Not that they do that much damage, but they are really hard to kill! Having them centered in one quarter of the board meant that the rest of the board was clear, but the one quarter they were in was COMPLETEly off-limits.

Game 2: The Scarlet Shadow and the Inventor vs. The Spectral Horseman!

What I learned from the first game was "Stay the hell away from the Necromancer!" So I loaded up the Spectral Horseman and started up.

These two guys are TONS of fun. The Inventor and his free Investigation, and Shadow and his ability to teleport about. I risked getting hurt early on to get The Shadow a horse, to make his Shadow Move more likely. Of course, as if to differentiate itself from Game 1, Game 2 brought out Evil is On the Move early on, placing Investiagation on EVERY named space... the board exploded forth with Blue. The Inventor collected Investigation from town while the Shadow took it from the areas outside of town.

Of course, the board started to fill up with Minions, as well, and no one had the Spirit to fight the Ghost Soldiers (a theme in my games last night). The bad news was that the Horseman was killing off townsfolk like they were going out of style, and thanks to Sophie the Gossip-Mongering Tramp, no fewer than 4 Elders turned out to be evil... and the other two were dead. Then The Hour is Late come along, and

The Scarlet Shadow managed to build up pretty far, but the Inventor could not, despite mad Investigation flowing like water. The Shadow Track was moving so fast that the Heroes were forced into a last-minute Showdown just to say they tried...

But the Horseman had something like 18 or 20 Wounds and 11 Combat Dice, or something like that. The Inventor got wiped out in one round, and the Shadow wasn't far behind.

The Horseman's special rules didn't come into play that often, just whenever an Elder died (Which happened a lot). I think he's more fun with more Heroes on the board, so that there's more chance for him to attack people on his rides. As it was, he did one ride, but it began at Town Hall (!), where the Inventor was recovering from getting his butt whooped the previous round.

Both games I lost without putting up much of a fight, to the extent that I was wondering if my original win against the Scarecrow (the first time I played an Advanced game with 2 Heroes) wasn't a fluke.

In either game I didn't really have much time to start up a strategy or really get a plan together. I felt like I was running around with my head cut off trying to gather stuff and build to a Showdown in the hopes that it would be enough... and it never was. I don't know how people ever get ready in time to have an early Showdown or multiple ones, and I have no idea how people have time to explore a whole second board with the expansion!

It was fun, but I do look forward to my next WIN.

Walking Dead set out from The Inn, The Windmill and the Abandoned Keep toward Town Hall. Brother Marcus was shanghaied in the night by an Undead Stalker, and narrowly kept conscious. He swung at the Stalker and missed, before steeling himself and aiming his fists with his Faith. He failed, and the Stalker left him battered until some monks warded it off and took Brother Marcus to the Monastery. The Necromancer claimed a victim, taking the life of Lord Hanbrook!

Round Two

Brother Marcus was quite out of it.

Harlow Morgan arrived at the Blacksmith’s, where he was challenged to a duel! He was left wounded, which did little for his mood! He purchased the Book of Town History, hitting the mental and spiritual threshold needed to properly combat the Necromancer.

The Stalker darted toward the Monastery, seeking Brother Marcus again. The Walking Dead advanced on Town Hall, with another coming from the Manor. Brother Marcus and Harlow Morgan decided to rendezvous at the Covered Bridge…and the Necromancer was waiting on them! Marcus struck, staggering the Necromancer! Morgan complained that he was NOT ready for this! He blasted the Necromancer, who wounded him as well. Morgan, sensing this was not the time to fight, headed back to town! Marcus struck once more, but this time the Necromancer hammered him. Marcus fell into the river and washed up in the Marsh. The Reverend Harding began whipping up a frenzy against the heroes.

Round Three

Morgan ran to Town Hall, quite wounded. He confronted the Reverend, who confided that the Order of the Crimson Hand had put him up to it…and the Order struck, brutally killing Harding and advancing on Morgan! He struck them, but they struck him down!

Marcus headed back to the Covered Bridge, hearing that Harlow Morgan was in danger in town.

The Stalker spurred the Walking Dead on as he headed towards Shadowbrook. The town was breached by Walking Dead converging on Town Hall. More emerged at the Church. The Order cornered Harlow, when Marcus shoved his way in and stood in their path! His attack stunned them with its ferocity! Though they brought him down, he crushed them as well! Morgan looked stunned at the feat! The Necromancer healed, however slowly. The Hour Was Late, for the Necromancer was far more Ancient than anyone believed.

Round Four

Marcus was recovering.

Harlow sighed and faced the Walking Dead at the Doctor’s Office. The Walking Dead brought him low.

Harlow and Marcus recovered as the Walking Dead hammered Town Hall. More Walking Dead emerged at the North Docks. Marcus waged war with the Walking Dead, taking a scratch and eliminating them. Daybreak provided a respite from the pressing time, but the Necromancer continued to regain his strength. An Undead Stalker ambushed Marcus, striking him down! Then it turned on Harlow! He and Harlow traded blows, but Harlow took the worst. The Necromancer celebrated with the murder of Sophie!

Round Five

Both guys were quite out.

The Dead converged on Town Hall, with more emerging from the Forgotten Island. Marcus and Harlow confronted the Stalker, Marcus standing in front of the inventor. Marcus took a thrashing, but finally ended the Stalker! The Walking Dead swarmed on Town Hall, driving Shadowbrook into chaos! Meanwhile, Lady Hanbrook began wicked machinations of her own, furthering the Order’s wishes. Marcus Thought-Bombed the Walking Dead, again sparing Harlow.

Round Six

Marcus forced back the Darkness, pushing the town out of utter panic. Marcus purchased Tools of Science, getting a funny look from the Blacksmith.

Harlow joined him at the Blacksmith’s and took the Tools of Science…and suddenly looked quite dangerous.

Walking Dead emerged at the Windmill, while still more moved in from Echo Lake, and another Stalker finally caught up to Marcus and Morgan! Morgan took a beating, but used his tools to end the charge of the Stalker. Marcus suddenly grew crazed and attacked Morgan, who fended him off! The Necromancer, furious, summoned Stalkers at the Inn, the Covered Bridge and Town Hall!

Round Seven

Harlow ran to the Doctor’s Office for healing, while Marcus’ courage grew.

Marcus joined him, seeking healing as well, and prepared himself for the reality that the Stalker was coming after him. Magistrate Kroft joined them, now quite on the hunt!
The Minions continued their deadly march, with emergent Walking Dead at the Doctor’s Office forcing the Stalker back! Harlow Morgan almost eagerly dismantled the dead. The Man of Science and the Man of Faith were swept away once more…to the South Dock where the Necromancer confronted them, laughing! Morgan did not laugh…instead tearing into the Necromancer! The Necromancer struck the inventor down! Marcus fought bravely, but fell as well! The Necromancer was driven off by monks, who took our heroes to the Monastery. Another Stalker appeared on the road outside of the
Abandoned Keep.

Round Eight

Both were out of it still.

The Stalkers broke toward Echo Lake while the Walking Dead marched on Town Hall. More Walking Dead appeared at the Crossroads. Morgan and Marcus recovered. A Stalker broke into the Monastery and took out Marcus before turning on Harlow! The Stalker lashed out against Morgan, dropping him. Lady Hanbrook had the Heroes deposited at the Crossroads, and Morgan stripped of the book of Town History!

Round Nine

Both were still down.

The frightening dance of Stalkers and Walking Dead circling Morgan and Marcus would have been enough to break the spirit of any man. More dead rose in the fields. Marcus got battered around, but slayed the Stalker. A surprise attack from Walking Dead brought him back down! The Dead dropped Morgan as well. Something Wicked began to brew, as the Necromancer began casting a NEW spell.

Round Ten

Morgan and Marcus were both out.

Another bombardment on Town Hall pushed Shadowbrook down the path to breaking. More Dead arose on The Forgotten Island. A Stalker confronted Marcus at Town Hall. Marcus did defeat the Stalker, but was again knocked unconscious. Doctor Manning and Lady Hanbrook were subject to much rumors, but by this point, Morgan and Marcus didn’t care.

Round Eleven

Morgan found something right up his alley at the Windmill…Black Powder Bombs.

Marcus was KOed.
T
he Necromancer’s power swelled as his minions bombarded Town Hall, bringing Shadowbrook into full-blown panic! Marcus recovered to battle The Walking Dead. They drew blood, but he did prevail. Another ambush overwhelmed him, and he did stop another Walking Dead, but was knocked out once more. The town was pushed so far that when The Necromancer committed his latest act of murder, the will of Shadowbrook broke and fell under the sway of the Necromancer, who was now more Lich than Necromancer.

Observations: Holy God I am starting to hate two man team games. Just another ugly, ugly spanking. I should have just spared myself and used the “If everyone is KOed, game over” rule.

Isabella Von Took and Thomas the Courier battle The Vampire!

Session: A Touch of Evil, The Supernatural Game:: Halloween 3: Scarecrow vs Cartwright/Shadow

Tommy3Count — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:09:28 +0000

by Tommy3Count

Scarecrow
Vs
Scarlet Shadow & Heinrich Cartwright
Round One

Bad sign for the Scarecrow right off: The Scarlet Shadow heads to the Inn, collects information and gains an ally in The Coachman. Boosted movement = Shadow all over the place.

Cartwright made out for the South Docks to investigate.

The Scarecrow attacked the Abandoned Keep, perhaps sending the Scarlet Shadow a message! Then he committed acts of murder at the Windmill, which became covered in crows.

Round Two

Cartwright traveled to the Forgotten Island, and a found a strange Weathered Skull.

The Scarlet Shadow and The Coachman headed to the Monastery. Once there, the Shadow was attacked by The Host! The Host banged up The Shadow, but he killed it…a lot.

Cartwright was ambushed in the night by a Locust Swarm! He’s a tough fella, and fended them off, but not without some harm. The Scarecrow attacked the open roads, sowing fear.

Round Three

The Shadow joined Cartwright on the Forgotten Island, where HE was attacked by Locusts! He defeated them, but not without injury, and The Coachman took him back to the Monastery.

Cartwright set out for the North Docks, and found some evidence he began piecing together. Evidence that proved the esteemed Magistrate Kroft was a war criminal.

The Scarlet Shadow recovered. The damned crows swarmed the Covered Bridge and BOMBED the Inn, driving the people into a panic…well, except for Sebastian Skinner, who mostly seemed amused. Crows covered The Manor as well!

Round Four

Cartwright advanced on The Inn, shooing away crows as he went.

The Shadow arrived at the Keep, surveying the damage from the Scarecrow’s assault .

A Locust Swarm ambushed Cartwright, but the Shadow saved him from their first, vicious salvo. However, he couldn’t save Cartwright from the later assaults, and Heinrich was left recuperating in the Monastery. Howls in the night set both men on edge.

Round Five

The Shadow stayed at the Keep and looked around, finding a Book of the Occult.

Cartwright lay recovering.

Cartwright recovered. Yet more howls frightened the townsfolk. The Scarecrow made another example, this time at the Church.

Round Six

Cartwright emerged from a passageway inside the Manor and shooed off Crows. He found another passageway, this one leading to the Windmill! The crows attacked as he emerged, and he got rid of them…and was set upon by locusts! They bit him deep, but he rid himself of them as well. He also found that young Sophie wanted to help, but was afraid…but knew that time was coming that she would have to.

Shadow and Coachman set out cautiously on the road out of the Keep.

The Scarecrow’s harrowing presence assaulted the town and cost them their only musket, darn it. Cartwright found himself struck by The Madness!

Round Seven

The Shadow entered the Marsh as The Scarecrow killed again, this time at the North Docks, and sent the town into a panic.

Cartwright wandered to the Olde Woods, where he did find an axe! He also paid through the nose for healing, since the Doctor’s Office probably wasn’t on the agenda anytime soon.

The crazed Cartwright also managed a sneak attack on the Shadow, slipping away before he could retaliate! The Ominous Overture began, as The Scarecrow’s endgame approached!

Round Eight

Cartwright cleared his head, and realized that the Scarecrow was RIGHT THERE in the Woods! He made haste for the town. He scattered the birds at the bridge, did some investigating, and steadied his axe for future use.

The Shadow returned to the Keep, seeking healing.

The Scarecrow attacked Dr. Manning’s office. Speaking of…The Doctor’s late night experiments began to draw attention as not only did a horse turn up missing, but a Militia Soldier and a Militia Captain!

Round Nine

The Shadow appeared in the Windmill where he met Carla, The Blacksmith’s Wife, but opted not to accept her aid.

Cartwright made a special stop to rid himself of more crows.

The Scarecrow struck at the South Dock, but Cartwright played damage control to keep the panic mostly under control. Unfortunately, not much could be done to control the panic when The Scarecrow killed Magistrate Kroft.

Round Ten

Cartwright was stunned when the Townsfolk embraced him upon his arrival! Any old port in a storm, I guess. Cartwright purchased two torches and hired a soldier to aid him in his hunt. As well, he discovered that Doctor Manning was, in fact, a Hero of the People…and his bizarre experiments were all in the name of science in stopping this…thing.

‘The Shadow crept into town and rendezvoused with Cartwright! Avoiding prying eyes, he bought a Padded Jacket and two pistols, swapping a pistol and a torch with Cartwright. As well, Dr. Manning pulled strings to ensure that Militia were dispatched to the Olde Woods!

Darkness fell. The Scarecrow hit his peak. Shadow and Cartwright knew it had to be now or never. A chill wind rose up, but the torches warmed our heroes.

Round Eleven

Shadow discovered two very bad things: 1) The Scarecrow was far older than anyone realized. 2) Reverend Harding was quite possibly in cahoots with him.

Cartwright rushed to the Woods, summoning Sophie and Doctor Manning. Heinrich Cartwright, Dr. Manning, Heinrich’s militia man, Scarlet Shadow, Sophie, The Coachman and a Militia detachment called out for the Scarecrow…and prayed that it should be enough. Cartwright roared…threw his torch….opened fire…swung his axe…ordered his man to fire…SERIOUSLY?! ELEVEN DICE AND ONLY ONE HIT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! The Scarecrow’s retaliation was MUCH worse, but Doctor Manning controlled some of that damage. The Shadow took aim, hurled his torch, ordered the Militia to fire, and added his boost from the pure-hearted, nubile Sophie…and did a LITTLE better. Sophie was very nearly killed, but Cartwright used his weathered skull to protect her. The Shadow got his bell rang, though. Cartwright’s contingent attacked, and the Militia soldier lost his life. Sophie, The Shadow and The Militia did some real damage that time. The Coachman made his contribution when The Shadow was in grave danger…and he pulled the Coachman in the way! The Coachman suffered much for it! Both Cartwright AND Manning fell on the next attack! The Shadow attacked, allowing the Militia to take a large hit and sensing that the Scarecrow was so close to defeat! The Shadow, knowing that he was fighting for the people of Shadowbrook and not the elders, charged…Sophie realized how much they had misjudged the man, and joined him. The Scarecrow lashed out at the pure Sophie, knocking her into a tree where she was impaled…The Shadow roared and tore into the Scarecrow. He tore it from the inside out as it throttled him into unconsciousness. Darkness fell over Shadowbrook.

The Scarlet Shadow awoke in a cell, to be executed for the murders of Sophie, Doctor Manning, Magistrate Kroft and a detachment of militia. Reverend Harding gleefully stepped in the guide the town in these trying times. The Shadow merely asked for some food to eat, and his guard obliged. As he waited, Heinrich Cartwright, badly battered, stole into the room and shattered the lock on cell. Shadow looked surprised, but Cartwright merely beckoned him outside. A pallor had fallen over the town. Crows lined the buildings. The people, in desperation, huddled at the feet of Reverend Harding while The Hanbrooks tried to figure out how to revive the town from these tragic events.

“Come,” Cartwright said, “the darkness has taken hold…it is rooted in too deep. You did what you could, Shadow, but though we saved the town, we lost its soul. There’s nuthin’ more for the likes of us here.”

Observations: Nice team…Shadow’s movement rolls sucked, or this would have gone differently. They were actually fairly prepared to fight, but whiffed on their big fight rounds. They got the stalemate ending, because the deaths of Sophie and Dr. Manning drove the town into Shadow even as the Scarecrow died. Incidentally, Lord Hanbrook is a harmless voyeur, but Lady Hanbrook has a pure spirit. I just don’t think, overall, that she will break the Reverend’s influence.

Next round: Science and faith combine as Harlow Morgan and Brother Marcus battle The Necromancer!

Session: A Touch of Evil, The Supernatural Game:: Halloween Marathon Part Two - Valeria/Adrianna vs The Werewolf

Tommy3Count — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:04:00 +0000

by Tommy3Count

I just realized I am cheating myself out of Geekgold by doing each session as a reply in its own thread...=P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Werewolf
Vs
Valeria & Adrianna

Round One

I was about to make a joke about the two little girls versus the Werewolf, but I’m not sure which of the three truly is the strangest of the lot: The feral wolf, the ancient vampire or the mysterious blind lady.

Valeria moved cautiously out of town, seeking out the Abandoned Keep.

Adrianna took her time as well, heading southeast on the road to Echo Lake.

The Werewolf struck in the Olde Woods! In its wake, it left some Feral Kin! The Feral Kin immediately struck out towards Town Hall!

Round Two

Adrianna redirected course, heading through the Marsh instead of encountering the Feral Kin at the Covered Bridge.

Valeria actively sought out the approaching Feral Kin, while Militia were dispatched to Town Hall.

The Feral Kin rushed to the town, meeting Valeria at the Magistrate’s Office in a flurry of fur and fangs! The Feral Kin struck first, wounding the vampire. They batted her down and moved in to finish her, when Valeria returned with a violent assault! She drained the beast as well, healing any damage the Feral Kin had done! Rat’s nests popped up at the Fields, the Marsh and The Forgotten Island! Adrianna was taken by surprise by the rat’s nest at the Marsh and was bitten! The fight was fierce, and Adrianna’s amazing senses were the only thing that saved her at one point. Valeria swooped in and rescued her from one attack, and she finally delivered the blow that ended the rat’s nest.

Round Three

Valeria resumed her original course, setting out for the Abandoned Keep. The floor gave way, and Valeria suffered a rough fall! Ghosts in the fog began whispering to her, teasing her with information for only a taste of her…and then they realized WHAT she was, and disappeared.

Adrianna reluctantly returned to town, having the Doctor tend her wounds. Her senses revealed much to her, including Dr. Manning’s propensity for witchcraft.

Rats began to swarm from the Fields and the Forgotten Island. The darkness swelled in Shadowbrook, and Valeria fed off of it. Adrianna, as she left the Doctor’s Office, was surprised to come face to face with the Werewolf! It struck her, though each seemed surprised at the other’s speed!

Round Four

Adrianna set out back for the Marsh, to examine the rat’s nest she had destroyed.

Valeria joined her as the Militia were dispatched to the Fields and the Forgotten Island.

The ugly rats kept up their march. Feral Kin were spotted stalking the grounds of the Manor. Most frightening…a Full Moon appeared.

Round Five

Valeria opted for treatment for her wounds at the Doctor’s Office. Valeria sensed the trail used by the Werewolf and figured out that it was laired at the Crossroads!

Adrianna investigated the Marsh, and found only little help there. She did overhear whispers in the Marsh, discovering Magistrate Kroft to be something of a liar, but not wholly evil.

Rats moved from Echo Lake with a clear purpose toward Town Hall, and as well through the Windmill. The Werewolf killed again, at the South Docks, and left behind Feral Kin as a calling card. The savage Werewolf was now playing games with them, its mocking laughter on the wind.

Round Six

Adrianna sought out clues at the Olde Woods, but found nothing…except an axe.

Valeria headed for the Manor, looking to avoid the stream of rats coming down from the Northeast.

Rats reached the Crossroads and the outskirts of town. As terror filled the town, Valeria was spurred on. It seemed to overwhelm her, and a black-eyed Valeria appeared in the trees over Adrianna! She attacked, but Adrianna struck her out of the sky and fended off her assaults! As Valeria came to her senses, she snarled and darted off.

Round Seven

Valeria arrived at the manor to battle the Feral Kin! She struck quickly, killing the creature before it knew she wasn’t a mere mortal! She drank deep, taking care of the wound left by Adrianna. However, the Gibbering Evil stalked her on the grounds! It was a fierce combatant, but Valeria has fought even demons before, and drank this one’s blood as well!

Adrianna made haste, heading through the town for the Manor.

The rats had reached the Blacksmith’s shop and were almost on the Covered Bridge. The Werewolf killed at the Marsh and left more spawn. An awful storm arose, and the Werewolf terrorized the land through it! The Lady Hanbrook arranged for the confiscation of Adrianna’s axe and the booting of Valeria and Adrianna to the crossroads!

Round Eight

Adrianna made haste for the Inn, where she accepted some healing. Walking high across the top of the Inn, listening to the wind, Adrianna slipped! She heard on the air whispers, laughter, howls…from farther than the Crossroads…the Werewolf had set up a new lair in the Abandoned Keep!

Valeria was bitten by rats as she stormed away. She found a discarded saber, which suited her well as she entered the Marsh to encounter Feral Kin! Though the Feral Kin struck her, Valeria drew blood and used that to sustain herself.

Rats reached Town Hall and the Covered Bridge. Once more Valeria assaulted Adrianna, and once more fell short, this time being knocked unconscious! Adrianna, in the confusion, found herself in the Olde Woods…with the Werewolf! Adrianna did nothing to the Werewolf, and was stunned to sense a feral Valeria strike it as it was about to tear into Adrianna! Adrianna ran for safety! Something Wicked was growing inside the Werewolf, making time of the essence.

Round Nine

Valeria lay in torpor.

The sense of wickedness, at least, passed. However, Sophie began whispering rumors to the Town Elders about our heroes…alienating the elders from the heroes.

The swarm of rats terrorized the town. Valeria awoke. Another wicked storm, and this time the Werewolf made a vicious assault in the Bog. More lies and deceit circulated through town…only Lord Hanbrook and Sophie seemed immune, and this threw Valeria and Adrianna into doubt about their assumed allies. The Werewolf appeared at Town Hall and attacked Valeria! She and the Militia fought it, but it took her down once more!

Round Ten

Adrianna skirted town and headed toward the Manor, when the lies and rumors spread by Sophie reached a breaking point: Not only was Reverend Harding a drunken voyeur, he had thrown his lot in with the Werewolf! As well, Lady Hanbrook, once a Hero of the People, had become the Lady of Darkness! Doctor Manning stood revealed as a Werewolf Hunter, and actively followed the present leads, appearing at the Abandoned Keep!

Valeria once more lay in recovery.

The second chain of rats reached the Magistrate’s Office. Valeria arose. The Werewolf attacked at Town Hall! Valeria was once more cut down! The worst news of all…Kroft stood revealed AS The Werewolf! Kroft made his impact known as he slaughtered Doctor Manning at the Keep!

Round Eleven

Valeria lay in recovery.

Adrianna finally arrived in the Fields to eliminate that rat’s nest! She and the Militia ended the rat’s nest and gave Shadowbrook something of a respite!

Unfortunately, the rats from the Island now reached Town Hall. Kroft left bodies in the Fields just to taunt Adrianna. Feral Kin emerged in the Church, surely allowed in by Kroft’s “Grand Inquisitor”.

Round Twelve

Adrianna arrived at the Manor and found a cross. As well, she found Lord Hanbrook, distraught over what had happened to the town, and he agreed to aid her! She also discovered that Sophie had been living a double life and, despite her willingness to spread rumors, was reluctant to actually stand against the Werewolf.

Valeria spent a lot of money on a musket and silver shot, then suddenly appeared at the Manor, giving said items to Adrianna! She leveled accusations at Lord Hanbrook, but Adrianna calmed her. Lord Hanbrook and Sophie became somewhat steeled in the face of the betrayals of the elders.

The rats terrorized the town once more, and Kroft trashed Manning’s office in mockery. A Feral Kin took Adrianna by complete surprise, but Valeria leapt in the way and was slashed down! She emerged, furious, and tore the Feral Kin limb from limb! Kroft made an attack on Sophie, but it only proved to scare her.

Round Thirteen

Adrianna took a passage to the Monastery, but was attacked by Kroft! He tore into her, but she unloaded with silver shot into him! Each one left the fight badly harmed!

Valeria headed back toward s town.

Shadowbrook was pushed nearly to the brink. Adrianna recovered. Kroft killed a Blacksmith’s Apprentice and left more Feral Kin in his wake! Once more a crazed Valeria attacked Adrianna, and once more she was rebuffed. A Dark Omen appeared, washing over the town and plunging it into darkness. Despite the best efforts of Valeria and Adrianna, Shadowbrook was lost to Magistrate Kroft.

Observations: Valeria spending three rounds incapacitated killed any momentum they had. Just some awful luck. Plus, all the cards that kept moving them around as they tried to close in on the rat’s nests were killers as well. The stars were not aligned for this one.

Next: The Scarlet Shadow and Heinreich Cartwright join forces against The Scarecrow!

Can I get an official on this one, Jason?

Using the "three secret reveal", if I reveal the secrets, do I add any more later? In my last game, Dr. Manning hit three secrets and was revealed as a Martyr, On the Hunt and something minor...then an event came up that would have added a fourth secret. Should he have gotten one, or was he free and clear at that point?

Every other game that has a horror theme has been "Scooby-ized" and I wonder if anyone has started work on a re-theme yet? Actually, it would be easy to convert. Village Eldars would be the adult non-characters like Old Man Withers, the Sherriff, etc. The hidden secrets would convert well for a Scooby episode. All someone has to do is create a new themed board with areas like Old Swamp Road, Spooky Warehouse, Creepy Old Mansion, etc. Then retheme the cards to have Scooby Snacks and trap-making parts. Have the lair idea become where to set the trap to catch the villian....

Well, these are my flights of fantasy. If anyone is attempting to create A Touch of Scooby, feel free to use these ideas as long as you keep me posted! I would enjoy seeing your work!

by K-Swift

Just a warning, this isn't an extensive session report, more like a story devised from the incidents during the game. Hope you enjoy it.

I played "A Touch Of Evil" last night with my niece, it was her first time playing and my second.

Town Elders were murdered and secrets were uncovered that informed the residents of Shadowbrook that the evil was one of their own...Sophie, The Midwife. After thorough investigation and several near death encounters with Feral Kin, the lair of the Lycanthropic wench was soon discovered. The militia gathered at the Olde Woods waiting for Katarina, The Outlaw and Anne Marie, The School Teacher, the only ones brave enough to face their fear and attempt to save Shadowbrook. As Anne Marie ventured further into the Olde Woods she was joined by Reverend Harding, whose Inner Strength gave him the spirit and courage to join the battle, and Lady Hanbrook, who decided she would give her own life if necessary, to stop this beast who had already taken the life of her husband. Katarina never made it to the beast's lair, she was last seen at the Abandoned Keep and her fate is still unknown. As the three brave souls neared the lair of the Werewolf, blood curdling screams rang out from the militia, they were no match for its brutal savagery and bestial speed. Upon reaching the lair, the smell of death lingered as the full moon shone down upon the bodies of what once was men who now lay dismembered and disemboweled. They soon came face to face with the evil that had done this...and prepared for the final battle against Sophie; for their fate as well as that of the small town of Shadowbrook...

(In case you were wondering the fate of Katarina...my niece fell asleep and left her in limbo at the Abandoned Keep so I finished it out solo).

Session: A Touch of Evil, The Supernatural Game:: Halloween Marathon

by Tommy3Count

This is going to be a bit of a misnomer, as I doubt this all happens on Halloween now, or anything close...but the plan was originally for a Halloween Marathon, so that was how I organized it. It is a series of solo games, villains and heroes randomly selected. The first six fights are two on one, the final four are solo. I will post them all in this thread as we witness the battle for Shadowbrooks' soul...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Banshee
Vs
Inspector Cooke & Captain Hawkins

Round One

Inspector Cooke and Captain Hawkins versus a “ghost”? Pshaw! This should prove to be a simple task. Cooke set out to the North, Hawkins to the South. Cooke stopped over at the Church, where he caught wind of Reverend Harding’s past as a War Criminal. Not that he was concerned or anything, but Cooke did some praying, but God perhaps didn’t buy his sincerity.

Captain Hawkins marched for the Abandoned Keep. There, he found the most interesting Book of the Occult!

Lies and deceit spread through the town, centering on Lady Hanbrook, Doctor Manning and Reverend Harding. As well, Barrow Shades appeared at the Forgotten Island and South Dock.

Round Two

The Banshee struck, killing Sophie! All this while Captain Marcus made out toward the Olde Woods, but got slowed in the Marsh.

Inspector Cooke arrived at the Manor, where The Hanbrooks offered him a bizarre meal. He chose to eat, though the food wasn’t great, but the Hanbrooks felt emboldened by the whole affair.

The Banshee killed in the Olde Woods, her screams being hard all around. Barrow Shades appeared at the Abandoned Keep. Magistrate Kroft sent out word to the Militia that Inspector Cooke and Captain Hawkins were to be shot on sight! Militia took point at the Doctor’s Office and The Fields!

Round Three

Cooke moved swiftly to The Windmill, finding a rusty key that opened a closet inside the Windmill! Inside were some scraps of paper…Reverend Harding confronted him about the intrusion…and then told Cooke that he wished to help The Inspector end this Banshee! Harding and Cooke joined forces!

Hawkins arrived at the Woods and found a little evidence to aid him. He also found an axe! Hawkins sent for the militia at the Doctor’s Office, drawing them to the Barrow Shades near the Crossroads, where again they were victorious, but at a cost.
The Barrow Shades moved, heading toward Town Hall. As well, Barrow Shades attacked Harding and Cooke at the Windmill! The combined might of Cooke and Harding obliterated the Shades. The townsfolk attacked Cooke and Hawkins at their respective locations, though Hawkins cowed them, while Cooke sustained injury first.

Round Four

Hawkins moved to the Crossroads, seeking clues, and found them. As well, he directed the Militia from the Fields to the outskirts of town, where they defeated the Barrow Shades, but suffered losses themselves. Hawkins immediately summoned more Militia from the coast.

Cooke and Harding made haste for the Doctor’s Office. While being healed, Cooke found that Dr. Manning was a bit of a drunkard…and a valiant defender of the people! Manning joined Cooke as well!

Darkness fell across the land, sending a chill through the townsfolk. The Banshee attacked at the Manor, spreading terror! Harding and Manning told Cooke they needed to return to their duties, but said they could be called on for aid…as the Grounds Keeper appeared in the Fields!

Round Five

Cooke set out towards the Woods and all the clues scattered there. He made good time on that leg, reaching the Covered Bridge.

Hawkins went to the Church and sought out The Lord, and received his blessing! He also sent word to the Militia, directing them near the Inn. Lastly, his contacts got him what he needed: The Banshee is in the Olde Woods!

A suddenly crazed Cooke attacked Hawkins, and Hawkins fought back, driving the Inspector down! He had left Cooke unconscious before he realized who it was, and the Banshee shrieked with glee! Hawkins, for his part, quickly recovered from the damage done to him. More rumors surfaced, about Lady Hanbrook…her voyeuristic tendencies...her secret, double life…she came to the ailing Inspector Cooke with all the knew of the dealings in town…when the Banshee ripped into the Town Hall and screamed! Her maddening wail melted the eyes of Lady Hanbrook and crushed her soul as the horrified Cooke watched on helplessly! Cooke, though ailing, did seek out information on LORD Hanbrook…and discovered that though Lord Hanbrook deals in witchery, he is not a pawn of evil. The Banshee killed at the Church, before Hawkins’ very eyes, and left a wake that half the town witnessed!

Round Six

Hawkins moved to Town Hall, his honor feeling bolstered, and he gave Cooke his Book of the Occult, feeling as though Cooke could use it more. Then he directed the Militia against the last Barrow Shades, eliminating that threat.

Cooke recovered. The Banshee struck out at the Windmill. An awful storm swept over the land, and the Banshee launched an assault on the Monastery as well! Then, she killed at the Covered Bridge!

Round Seven

Cooke interrogated the Blacksmith, and the purchased the Tools of Science…dead set on proving that science could end this creature.
Hawkins hired a Militia Soldier to his side, as The Horror gripping the town loosened.

Barrow Shades appeared at the Magistrate’s Office. The cold darkness threatened to engulf the town.

Round Eight

Hawkins set out toward the Olde Woods.

Cooke followed, sensing how Hawkins’ spirit seemed to be fortified against the Darkness as he went. However, HE was ambushed by the Banshee, who struck him down! The Song of the Dead echoed through the air as Cooke fell, though he did get what he needed – his tools worked on the Banshee.

Magistrate Kroft was murdered now by the Banshee! The Banshee then struck at the Crossroads!

Round Nine

Time was running out, but Cooke seemed shaken.

Luckily, Captain Hawkins sent word for Doctor Manning and Reverend Harding to join them at the Woods! The Reverend joined Hawkins and his militia solider, while Manning and Cooke approached…and the Banshee emerged! Harding, Hawkins and the Militia attacked, striking the Banshee! Unfortunately, its retaliation took Reverend Harding AND the Militia soldier. Cooke clipped the Banshee, who sneered at the non-believer. However, her attacks fell short on both Manning and Cooke! Hawkins opened a fierce salvo, but got hammered with a fierce response! Cooke hit the Banshee and avoided retaliation, but Dr. Manning could not…as the fifth elder fell to the Banshee, darkness swept over the town, and Cooke and Hawkins saw their cause lost…

Observation: The Banshee got too strong, too fast. Hawkins and Cooke could not keep up , with the rate in which it was killing elders. Cooke was unable to get his spirit out the “danger zone”, though Hawkins used the militia to negate most of that problem by killing the barrow shades. Still, these two were outclassed against the Banshee.

Atthe end of any Fight where the Minion is not defeated, it immediately Heals all of its Wounds. So it would start the next Fight with no Wounds on it.

I emailed Jason Hill and asked which monster he thought was best for a teaching game and he stated:

"For demo games we usually use the Specatral Horseman as he is very thematically recognizable and new players tend to really like that he rides around the board attacking people whenever he shows up."

Team play would also seem to make sense....it is the best of both cooperative and competitive.

I normally would recommend going right into Advanced, but with this group, I'd suggest sticking to the Basic rules. I'd suggest going with the Scarecrow or the Horseman, but those are just the ones I started with. Scarecrow is a little less fiddly, but he gets powerful quickly, especially in a co-op game.

I'd recommend doing teams in a six-player game. The game's really easy with four players, especially with the Basic rules, and with teams or competitive, the folks who are more used to playing against each other (as in Monopoly) may grok it faster than co-op.

I've never played teams. It seems to combine co-op and competitive, and thus might (MIGHT) be more complicated than either. But it also seems like a ton of fun, and the next time I bring out the game for 4+ players, it'll be in teams.

I plan on using the basic game set up, but I have a couple of other set up questions.

1. Given the groups inexperience, which villian would be best to use?

2. With six people should we play the regular game or do a team game?

Although I have been playing this game some time now, a question came up last Sunday that split the 4 of us in a 50:50 group.

The Scarecrow was defeated but there was one of his Minions on the board. Two of players said that the game was not over until that Minion was killed off and the other two said the game was finished. This never happened before and I was one of the two that said "The game is finished because the Scarecrow is dead".

Which two of us were right ?

Thanks in advance.

Thread: A Touch of Evil, The Supernatural Game:: Variants:: Thoughts on a character creation system

egoncasteel — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:20:48 +0000

by egoncasteel

I was thinking of a character creation system for A Touch of Evil heroes. Something like each play gets 20 to 25 points.

- stats (combat, cunning, spirit) cost 1. Min of 1 Max 4
- each wound cost 3. Min of 1 Max 4
- each merit cost between 1 and 5
- each flaw gives you between 1 and 5 more points to spend

There would be a deck of merits and a deck of flaws. Each person would take turns buying one merit or flaw until every one was ready. (Maybe just a list, but the deck idea has the advantages of everyone having their merits and flaws in front of them and making sure there is not a lot of duplication between heroes)

Example
Name: Jimmy (boy detective)
Sex: male
Spirit:2 (2 points)
cunning:3 (3 points)
Combat:1 (1 points)
Wounds:2 (6 points)

Merits
Guardian - Player starts with an ally. If killed this ally can be picked up again by returning to a set location chosen at the start of the game. Cost 3 (4 if ally has special ability as well as a wound)
Name: Jeeves Location: Manor
Cost: 3

Trickster: May use cunning in place of combat for fight tests. Cost 5

Run Home: May choose to attempt to avoid any fight. Roll a cunning 5 test before the first round of combat. For each success move one space closer to your starting location. Your turn then ends. Cost 3

Flaws
Weak - may not use melee weapons. Gain 3

Any thoughts?

This Minion should include the line, “Once encountered, discard this Minion.”

Question:

The description of Wolves on the Minion Chart states that they only attack once and that the hero receives one Investigation per hit he does to the wolf. If the wolf only attacks once, and the hero doesn't kill it by doing 3 or more hits, what happens to the wolf? It only attacks once so I assume combat ends, but it can't stay in the space with the hero either. I've been resolving the wolf's single attack and then removing it from the board. Is anyone doing anything different?

Correct. You do not have to assign a wound to the Militia. Think of it as heroicly jumping in the way to absorb all of the damage to keep the Militia alive.

If you are going to be KO'd anyway, it is better to not kill off the Militia so they could be used again later (though most often assigning a wound to the Militia can keep you alive).

Oops, you are correct on Militia. If the Hero is KOed and doesn't assign a wound to the Militia, then the Militia should remain so you can assign them to a new Hero at the start of the next Showdown Round if you like.

Is that right? Does this also work for regular fights? An example. I have two wound boxes left unfilled, and a Militia token on my space. The minion rolls 3 hits on its fight dice. Can I assign all three hits to myself and get KO'ed, leaving the Militia standing? Or do I have to assign two hits to myself and 1 to the Militia? I will tip the first person who can help me with this!

MOVEMENT:

One thing that can slow the game down is a person rolling poorly for movement. I know that you get an event card for a rolling a 1.

Here is an idea and it might speed up the game. Pace is very important in this game:

Every Character gets + 1 for Movement as long as they are healthy. If you roll a "1" you have to choose if you want the movement bonus or the event card. The movement bonus is lost if a character has any wounds.

I hate those damn 1's for movement also... but I will try a simpler version of your variant: When you throw 1 for your movement, you may either take 1 event card OR you may add +1 to your move (regardless of your health status).

Well, with the expansion Something Wicked we just switched to your variant - the movement is much more needed than before. Although it is something more to remember, it is not mandatory... so if you forgot to use it, it is your fault only.
On roll of 1, we allow BOTH the move bonus and event.

The cooperative chart is pretty much required during a cooperative game because with everyone working together, the game would be way too easy.

I haven't played very many games, but the difficulty seems to be pretty good, hard but not always impossible. But I'd have to play more to know for sure. I do prefer the advanced coop chart as well. Just a little bit more interesting than the basic one.

Her ability is only used if she is in a Hunting Party or attached to a Hero with the 'Hero of the People' Secret (the same as with any Town Elder).

When she first joins the Hunting Party (or a Hero with 'Hero of the People'), you may roll once for every Mystery card that currently 'Remains in Play'. While part of the Hunting Party or as a 'Hero of the People', you may roll ONCE for ANY Event card that is played or any new Mystery card that is 'Remains in Play' to try and cancel it.

Militia work differently than Allies. An Ally increases the health and skills of the one Hero that has them; the Militia helps everyone in the space (potentially), but dies if you assign a wound to it. Granted, a Militia in a Cooperative Showdown only helps a single Hero at a time, but this doesn't change the underlying mechanic.

Actually, my wife and I throughly enjoy Mary Beth Magallanes' musical compostions. Extended CDs, like extended DVDs, are a marketing way of life. But the price for the FFP CD is competitive with other musical CD products. And, I collect the promo cards. So your statement
another 'extended' CD with four more songs that NOBODY wants
is not entirely accurate.

And, if FFP, doesn't pace their expansion releases, you can certainly pace your purchase of those expansion releases.

I stand corrected: another 'extended' CD with four more songs that ONE PERSON wants.

Did you, by the way, purchase the extended CD? Interested in those new songs? I'd love to know.

It's true that I can pace my purchases, but that brings up the whole promo card thing, and I'm just turned off.

Old thread, I know, and you didn't ask me specifically, but I'm listening to the ATOE extended soundtrack for about the fourth time since I got it yesterday afternoon. I really enjoy it, and I'm not usually a fan of instrumental CDs. Heck, I kept the original CD in my car and played it a fair bit driving to and from work. So at least two people are good with the CD...and the new songs are pretty great, IMHO.

Here are some answers to your questions.

jcb231 wrote:
1. If an elder joins a hunting party and is revealed to have both the "On the Hunt" secret and the "Hero of the People" secret, what happens?

First off, 'On the Hunt' is not mutually exclusive to anything, so you place the counter for the elder in the chosen space and any Hero in that space can gain the benefit.

As for 'Hero of the People' and being in the Hunting Party, 'Hero of the People' has the Town Elder attach to your Hero as an ally (they are no longer part of the Hunting Party). While with your Hero they give you the usual benefits for 'Hero of the People', but do NOT get targeted specifically by the Villain.

jcb231 wrote:

2. What happens to an attached elder if their hero is KO'd in a cooperative game? Does the hero return to town or do they attach to another hero? What if all the other heroes have elders or militia already?

The attached Elder returns to Town if the Hero is KO'd.

jcb231 wrote:

3. When a hero is KO'd in a cooperative showdown, can they still play event cards that help other players? The rules say that KO'd players can use event cards, but it doesn't make it explicitly clear in this case. I'm sure its just one of those cases of gameplay trumping realism, but in a super-thematic game like this it seems a bit weird that a KO'd character can still make a honorable gesture to save another character, or other such actions.

Correct. The Hero's player may continue to play Event cards. This allows them to still take a role in helping to win the Showdown (though significantly diminished).

jcb231 wrote:

4. In a co-op game, when a Lair card says to make a check before the Showdown, can I choose what character makes the check, or does it have to be the one that initiates the showdown?

All Heroes must make the check unless specifically stated on the card (which many do for the Coop game). If the card says that only one Hero makes the test in Coop, you get to choose.

jcb231 wrote:

5. Can characters share investigation like they can share items?

No. This is on p.20 of the ATOE rulebook, upper left.

jcb231 wrote:

6. When an Elder is in your hunting party, do their spirit/cunning/honor do anything for you? Do you add them to yours?

No. These Town Elder Skills are only used when specifically referenced by other cards. The main role of the Town Elders in the Hunting Party is to give you their bonus text (Doctor Manning preventing damage for instance) and to help draw fire from the Villain (it must put one of its Fight Dice on each Elder in the Hunting Party each round).

jcb231 wrote:

7. Are allies discarded when they fill up with wounds?

No. The health box on an Item or Ally is simply an extension of the Hero (it can be healed etc as any other wound on the Hero).

jcb231 wrote:

8. When a card calls for a minion and you roll an event, do you re-roll? Some cards say to, some cards don't.

No. You only re-roll on cards that specifically tell you to re-roll.

Hope that helps.

4. I would say that if the Lair card does not have specific instructions for a Co-op game, then the instructions apply to everybody: Everybody rolls at the Blacksmith to see if they get a free item; everybody rolls at the Olde Woods to see if they get free Fight Dice, etc. Some cards specify that only one Hero makes the roll (such as seeing if Dr. Manning suddenly turns evil at his office).

It mentions in the co-op rules for the showdown that the heroes choose one hero to make the roll so not everyone makes this check.

Session: A Touch of Evil, The Supernatural Game:: The Ride of the Horseman

Tommy3Count — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 07:42:42 +0000

by Tommy3Count

Ride of the Horseman

Starring

Thomas, The Courier

Captain Hawkins

Isabella Von Took, Noble Woman

Brother Marcus

and

The Spectral Horseman

Set-up: Thomas arrived in town with a package for Reverend Harding: A parcel devoted to Harding’s tireless efforts in combating darkness wherever it is, and aiding suffering whenever he can. Thomas, touched by the Reverend’s efforts, decided to help free Shadowbrook from the grip of the Spectral Horseman. Captain Marcus vowed to bring the full might of the militia down on the Horseman, ending this last remnant of the war. Brother Marcus, compelled by God, arrived in town seeking to aid these efforts…while Isabella Von Took figured it would be a useful way to kill some time.

Round 1

Thomas, perhaps suspecting the Hanbrooks could be involved, set out for the Manor. There, he was attacked by Ghost Soldiers! Thomas was cocky as he struck first, but the Ghost Soldiers pushed on, injuring him! Though Thomas did defeat them through force of spirit, they brought him low as well!

Captain Hawkins crept into the Abandoned Keep, and was set upon by a Spectre! Hawkins struggled with it, but was clearly thrown off by its incorporeal nature! The Spectre triumphed, but The Scarlet Shadow spooked it off and carried the unconscious Captain to the outskirts of town.

This is going to be a long game…=P

Isabella set out for the Manor, figuring to use her noble nature to command an audience with The Hanbrooks…and was met with the Gibbering Evil! While it did strike her, it also underestimated the cunning noblewoman, who struck out with a sneak attack that blinded it, and then tipped a cabinet over, crushing its head!
Brother Marcus ventured into the Olde Woods, to see what he could see. He found an Axe, but nothing more.

Hawkins and Thomas recovered in town, licking their wounds. As Thomas recovered, Isabella Von Took stalked him with a crazed look in her eyes! Thomas sneered and attacked viciously, but Von Took stayed ahead of the situation, striking Thomas and preventing him from laying his hands on her. A Veil of Darkness covered the land

Wow…one round in and two investigators have been KOed, and a fight has broken out among them. Good times.

Round 2

Hawkins made out for the Windmill, where The Horseman struck! Sensing weakness in Hawkins, The Horseman charged! Though Hawkins did strike the Horseman, the villain brought him low and then charged to Town Hall, where Thomas saw his approach with fear in his…eye. The Horseman took down Thomas as well, sending a cold chill through the hearts of the townsfolk and growing stronger for it!

Von Took made out for the Windmill, stopping off in the Fields. Reverend Harding, reached by the whispers of The Order of the Crimson Hand, began riling the townsfolk up against the Investigators!

Brother Marcus left Shadowbrook for Echo Lake, making haste for the Inn. He prayed to God, and the Veil of Darkness was lifted! However, Ghost Soldiers attacked at the Inn! They inflicted their damage, but Marcus used his connection with the Creator to end their wretched existence.

Thomas was quite unable to do anything.

Hawkins awoke in Town Hall…under attack by Ghost Soldiers! They made short work of him…then turned on Thomas! They winged Thomas but he began to evade them…finally escaping to the Doctor’s Office, leaving them roaming Town Hall! Meanwhile, The Horseman’s power grew again!

Round 3

Von Took arrived at the Windmill, finding a Rusty Key with markings indicating Town Hall.

As Marcus ventured to the Monastery, he again focused his Spirit…breaking The Order’s hold on Reverend Harding! A Shrieking Shadow overtook him, but Marcus stood firm and beat it back! Marcus took an Oath of Devotion and purchased a Burning Censer, then rested and healed himself a bit.

Thomas began making plans to form an Entourage, and set out for the Abandoned Keep. There, he found a Relic which should surely aid him.

Captain Hawkins was quite indisposed.

Hawkins recovered, under attack by the Ghost Soldiers, and ran screaming from Town Hall. The growing darkness hammered the town further. Isabella, meanwhile, was struck with The Madness…not surprising, considering her earlier actions.

Round 4

Marcus moved to the North Dock searching for clues. He tried to beat back the growing power of the Horseman, but failed.
Thomas returned to town for healing, as the bright light of day cured Isabella of her Madness.

Captain Hawkins moved to the Church, and figured out that Magistrate Kroft was far too smart for his own good…a trait that would likely haunt him someday.

Isabella headed back toward the Manor.

The darkness pushed on, and The Horseman’s power surged. The Horseman struck, murdering Lord Hanbrook!

Round 5

Thomas sucked it up and went after the Ghost Soldiers at Town Hall. As he struck, he threw up his Relic, forcing them back. This gave him the opening to finish them, though they did wing him. Having just finished off the Ghost Soldiers, Thomas gave a Reassuring Speech, though not many seemed to buy it.
Hawkins, realizing his weakness, remained at the Church and prayed…and did feel a change come over him.

Isabella Von Took arrived at the Church hurling around accusations, though they didn’t get her very far. She quietly sought aid as well…and got it. Her Spirit grew, weakening the potential damage The Horseman could inflict on her.
Marcus took to the South Dock to see what he could see, as Militia were dispatched for the Olde Woods.

The Horseman appeared at the Covered Bridge, then charged Town Hall where the woefully unprepared Thomas waited on him! The Horseman bore down on him, but didn’t do quite as much damage as he had thought, and Thomas felt a little better about harming the ghost. Meanwhile, an awful storm broke in…and The Horseman struck at the Inn! Then he headed toward Town Hall to battle Thomas again! Thomas had greased some palms and had Militia waiting with him! The onslaught took the Horseman off-guard and probably saved Thomas!

Round 6

Hawkins went back to the Keep, and instead of being assaulted, found Jack, The Servant Boy! Hawkins took Jack into his service.
Isabella went to Town Hall and used her key…finding, in a locked box, all the elders have gathered on the Horseman.

Marcus did not find clues at the Covered Bridge, but he did find Doctor Manning, who joined him, eager to stamp out this Horseman!

Thomas sought healing, as well as revelation…The Horseman was haunting the Manor!

The Horseman struck at the Monastery and made haste for Town Hall, finding Marcus and Harding at the Covered Bridge! Marcus fought the Horseman, and Harding protected him from one of the hits landed by the Ghost! The Horseman charged on…to Town Hall where Isabella and the Militia stood! Isabella found purchase, but the Horseman discovered she’s harder to hit than that. Deception spread through the town…and rumblings were that even Dr. Manning had more secrets. The Horseman killed at the South Dock, then charged for Town Hall, meeting Marcus again! Marcus struck, but the Horseman got him this time. Isabella avoided the Horseman a second time, but that encounter proved to be a larger drain on her resources.

Round 7

Isabella moved to the Doctor’s Office to be healed.

Brother Marcus recovered at Town Hall.

Thomas arrived at the Manor, but found little of use.

Hawkins and Jack traveled to the Marsh.

Marcus recovered. Thomas again found Isabella stalking him! She wounded him and kept him from touching her. Shockingly, Lord Hanbrook stumbled back into town…alive! Meanwhile, the Horseman grew even more powerful!

Round 8

Marcus tried to shake off the Horror covering the town, but failed. He set out toward the Keep, seeking Captain Hawkins.

Thomas traveled to the Monastery for some Quiet Reflection. He hired a Guide and purchased a Crossbow.

Hawkins met with Marcus, who gave him his Axe.

Isabella headed to the Manor, but found little of use.
The Horseman struck at the Keep, then attacked Marcus and Hawkins on the road! Hawkins did some damage, and Jack prevented Hawkins from being taken out completely! Marcus gave better than he got, but was still hurting as the Horseman sped into the night. Ghost soldiers appeared at the Doctor’s Office and Windmill…and the Church.

Round 9

Thomas headed to the Inn, seeking clues. He entered the Window Room and saw his own reflection starting back at him…until it slowly shifted…into Lord Hanbrook! Then Hanbrook pulled off his own rode and rode off into the night laughing! Hanbrook is the Horseman!!!

Hawkins and Jack took to the Keep seeking clues, but found nothing. What they DID find was The Scarlet Shadow, who told Hawkins directly to release Jack…and The Shadow joined the hunt against the Horseman! Hawkins also ordered the Militia to converge on The Manor.

Von Took sharpened her mind as she headed for town.

Brother Marcus stormed into the Doctor’s Office and obliterated the Ghost Soldiers inside! Then he discovered evidence that Dr. Manning had joined the Horseman…Marcus sought allies…and discovered that Lady Hanbrook was a false image for the Horseman and Sophie was quite evil as well! News of this betrayal reached Harding, and steeled him against the Darkness. Marcus, shaken by this, failed again to lift the Horror on the town.

The Horseman killed again, this time on the Crossroads. The Horseman, they discovered, was far older than anyone believed…predating the Colonies and not having been created in the war.

Round 10

Hawkins and the Shadow remained at the Keep, where Shadow handed him…the Rogue’s Rapier. Hawkins was taken aback by the notion.

Von Took returned to the Manor, and summoned the Investigators as well as Harding. A conscious decision was made to ensure that Kroft knew nothing of this. Headless Hanbrook and the Evil Elders emerged from the Manor, facing off with Isabella Von Took, Brother Marcus, Reverend Harding, Thomas the Courier, Brother Janus, Captain Hawkins, The Scarlet Shadow and the Militia. The tension was thick. Isabella’s first assault was a feint…designed to get her close to The “Good” Doctor, where she cut his throat and watched him bleed out for his betrayal. Brother Marcus and Reverend Harding worked in concert, unleashing a righteous fury that injured Headless Hanbrook and killed Sophie the Vixen! Marcus was made to suffer for it, but the damage had been done. A crossbow bolt struck Headless Hanbrook in the chest! Headless Hanbrook bore down on Thomas, but Isabella threw herself into Thomas, saving him! Scarlet Shadow, Captain Hawkins and the Militia unleashed Hell on the Headless Hanbrook! Headless Hanbrook lashed out, bringing down the Shadow and the Captain as Isabella held Thomas and Brother Marcus back! Isabella attacked and fell short, giving Marcus an opening. Marcus unleashed every last bit of devastation he could, calling on God and the archangels to fend off this Horseman! Isabella, Thomas and Harding joined him, beating back the Headless Hanbrook. The Horseman attacked and Harding threw himself in the way…dying to save Brother Marcus and give him one more moment to fight on. Thomas struck again, wounding the Horseman. The Horseman smashed him down, but failed to kill him. Isabella lashed out, doing a small amount of damage, but catching its attention. The Horseman unleashed a furious assault that took all she had to keep from being harmed. Marcus struck…but was struck down for his trouble. Thomas blasted the Horseman again…before being crushed under the hooves of the Horseman. Isabella stood alone against the Headless Hanbrook. “As it should be, “ she said. “This should only be decided by nobility. Not common rabble. Now come on. Kick my @$$.” She struck, perhaps too weakly. Headless Hanbrook failed to struck her again. Isabella struck again, taunting, wearing the Horseman down. Then she was ended. Just like that. The Headless Hanbrook moved on into Shadowbrook, its only opposition being a hapless Magistrate who was piecing together clues without knowing where they lead and no warning.

You only reveal a secret when instructed to do so, for example, "Reveal Immediately". So in the case of the "Evil Elder" cards you leave them face down and do not reveal them.

In the competitive game it is an advantage to know which Elders are evil because you can avoid them while selecting your own hunting party. The benefit of an accusation comes when another player is selecting their hunting party. You can make the accusation and force the secret to be revealed at which point the Elder joins the villain. This makes your opponent's showdown.

Accusations really have no place in the cooperative game as far as I can tell.

Hope this helped

For a Competitive or Team game (the only ones with the Accusations phase), you do not reveal any Secrets for a Town Elder when you investigate him or her, unless the Secret says Reveal Immediately. Otherwise, Secrets are revealed during a Showdown for those Elders the player/team has chosen to bring to the Showdown.

jherbert29 wrote:
Why accuse someone in a showdown if their secrets get revealed in a showdown anyway ?

Only those Town Elders brought to the Showdown have their secrets revealed in the Reveal Secrets phase of the Showdown. (And if the player/team hasn't investigated enough about the Town Elder, they may well be surprised when he or she is discovered to be an Evil Elder instead.) The Accusations phase afterward is an opportunity for the other competing players/teams to toughen up the Villain by revealing the existence of other Evil Elders that they know of (including Town Elders thought "killed"), if they are worried that the player/team in the Showdown is likely to defeat the villain and win the game.

Of course, successful Accusations make the Villain tougher for everyone, but, you rolls your dice, you takes your chances.

It's a bit patchy where the character name will go, but don't worry, once you use the Bleeding Cowboys font to cover it up, it'll look fine. Dominicon font for the abilities and such . . .

OK, so no one posted a nice blank character sheet yet, which meant it took me ages to develop my own.

Anyway, being a fricking amazing film that's only about 35 years shy chonologically of the events plaguing Shadowbrook, I thought I'd bring the two uber-heroes from Brotherhood of the Wolf into our games.

It's proven a bit of a riot so I thought I'd share with you all. In case there are any BGG issues you can catch them at the blog here:

The scale for 28-30mm is 1:56 - 1:60.

1:48 is more like 35-40 mm

54mm is 1:32 - 1:36

1:72 - 1:76 is around 20mm

Like 1:72 og 1:36.

Traditionally, figures are not made to 'ratio scale', they are made to height scale. 28-30mm in this case.

Of course, different manufacturers interpret such scales differently. 28mm from the sole of the boot to the crown of the head? Top of the hat? Or to eye level (a common way to avoid hat problems)? Or should the base thickness be included?

Hi Bergh,

the scale is "slim" 30mm, or "epic" 28mm as someone calls them.
I don't know of any plastic manufacturer in the right scale, but I can suggest the "Royal Navy Marine" pack from Black Scorpion Miniatures, they are metal, but are roughly for the right period and they are almost the same size (alas, not that slim... :D)

http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/product.asp?the_range...

Here is a quick comparison pic.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
