For other players it can be extremely difficult or impossible. Casual gamers probably shouldn't try it, unless they want to handicap the difficulty which kind of defeats the point (they might as well just learn how to beat the regular game consistently first).<br /><br />"If a team of investigators has more than four investigators" would imply that I did not presume there are exactly 4 investigators. The reason the carry over items cap at four is because it is already an extremely powerful asset for people who are familiar with how to manipulate the game structure, and with 5-8 carried over items, the game would become ridiculously easy.<br /><br />I expected these scenarios to be played solo or with two people maximum controlling multiple investigators. I've never seen a larger team with the skill level to beat the scenarios.<br /><br />I don't know what you are saying in your second paragraph. But to try to clarify the point that I think you may be misunderstanding, you can only carry over one item for up to four investigators in scenario 1-5. The investigator must be alive at the end of the scenario and in possession of the item to carry it over. If you want to give the item to another investigator, you must trade it to the other investigator in the game before the game is over. You can't just pool all your items at the end of a game and decide who gets what. So no, if you choose a new investigator, it will not be able to get an item from the previous scenario. Please ask further questions in the Arkham Horror forum.Avi_dreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861512483100125526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342671412169596019.post-10670827097993679702015-11-11T13:01:32.784-08:002015-11-11T13:01:32.784-08:00I'm guessing that you are presuming that there...I'm guessing that you are presuming that there are exactly 4 players? So each player can carry over one thing to the next scenario? What if there are 6 players?<br /><br />I gather that investigators "start over" in each scenario. If I choose to use the same one, it starts over (except for the 1 item I'm allowed to carry over). If I choose a different one, I can still carry over 1 item to the new investigator.<br /><br />I don't understand why you are using so many words to say what I just said. So I must be misunderstanding you. There are presumptions you are making which I am guessing at.<br /><br />Nice overall storyline. Is it actually playable all the way through? Seems to get very difficult to win.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342671412169596019.post-64545441182242179332015-11-11T07:35:04.996-08:002015-11-11T07:35:04.996-08:00You're actually the first person to ask about ...You're actually the first person to ask about the draw timing. But since you need an explicit answer, I'll add it. You need to replace items before drawing your random cards.<br /><br />The second sentence is to help prevent people from asking me about whether investigators who have fixed possessions can also take other items between scenarios. Fixed possessions do not count as carry-over items.Avi_dreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861512483100125526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342671412169596019.post-89377197529081052702015-11-11T02:30:22.272-08:002015-11-11T02:30:22.272-08:00this looks interesting but your rules for item car...this looks interesting but your rules for item carry-over in Scen 1-5 are unclear. I think it means:<br /><br />Players are allowed to choose a different Investigator at the start of each Scenario, or keep the same one if he survived.<br /><br />All items and skills are discarded between Scenarios, except that<br /><br />up to four items, each taken from a different Investigator, may be carried over to the next Scenario, even if different Investigators are used. No more than one item may be assigned to any single Investigator in the upcoming Scenario.<br /><br />Only spells , skills, common items, or a unique items (except an Elder Sign) may be carried over. The item must be substituted for a random* or fixed possession of the same sort.<br /><br />* BEFORE OR AFTER DRAWING THE RANDOM CARDS ???<br /><br />Choose and record the carry-over items (if any), ideally before seeing the next scenario. <br /><br />THIS SENTENCE MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL:<br />"Fixed items are not considered an item carry-over and can be replaced by carried over items. "<br /><br />THIS SENTENCE IS REDUNDANT:<br />"Items carried over must replace a random or fixed item on the investigator carrying them over."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342671412169596019.post-68371949227529684352012-01-06T06:58:36.172-08:002012-01-06T06:58:36.172-08:00Don't worry, all the scenarios are written, an...Don't worry, all the scenarios are written, and everything is planned out.

This league was designed before they were released and you might have some significant balance issues as a result. Specifically with the new gates and the new Act cards. <br /><br />I would suggest that if you decide to use these expansions, you should not include the new gates, the new act cards, or the relationships. Anything else should be fine (although I am slightly concerned about the combat boosting spells in Lurker).<br /><br />I've redesigned the 4 Nyarlathotep scenarios so they will be able to be played with either original or revised Curse of the Dark Pharoah.
