I have no clue how to play. But sure.

rolled 7 = 7

I'll play, namefagging for just this game.

For those so inclined, the rules can be found here:
http://new.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/Arkham_Horror/AH_Rules_internat.pdf

Okay.
To determine your investigator, roll 1d16 for me. We'll reroll ties or already taken investigators.

rolled 12 = 12

Okay.

>>10011357
I pick up the pile of Investigator cards and pull out the 12th:
You are Bob Jenkins, the salesman!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Bob_Jenkins

rolled 1 = 1

While we're waiting for some more victims--er, volunteers, I'll pick the Unknowable Horror they will be attempting to thwart.

rolled 9 = 9

Arkaham Horror!?

I'm in!

>>10011480
Today we'll be facing Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Woods!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Shub-Niggurath

rolled 5 = 5

HERE GOES

>>10011543
Well, goats don't sound so bad.

Tripping it up. Wooo.

>>10011543
>>10011571

>>10011538
Come to think of it, it'd probably be best if we used decreasing numbers of dice to represent the already-chosen characters. The next person should roll 1d14, for example.

You'll also need a name so we can follow your commands.

I reach into the pile of Investigators and withdraw the 9th card:
You are Vincent Lee, the doctor!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Vincent_Lee

rolled 10 = 10

>>10011618
Rerolling, in that case.

>>10011618

Alright, I'm Vincent Lee! Niiiiiiiiiice

>>10011240
I rolled a 3, I only use real dice. Not your random number generator.

Can I join in?

>>10011654

Wow, a pretentious tripfag. Will wonders never cease.
Maybe you can go play it on a real board then, too.

I wish I had time to play, but I don't. Please make more of these threads in the future.

>>10011665
fuuuu-... I have to leave in an hour, so i will leave the seat, sorry

>>10011694
I'm just kidding, I don't know how to roll your e-dice.

>>10011713
Dice+xdy

>>10011654
Fuck off dude.

>>10011630
I'll set up the board. I'll wait a few more minutes before we start the first turn to let in any stragglers. I'm posting the Investigator card images for a reason, I'll be needing you gentlemen to post it each time you expend Focus to adjust your Investigator, so we can all see what you've set your stats to.

The Great Ones have informed me that the 10th card on the stack is none other than:
Sister Mary, the nun!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Sister_Mary

Can I play too?

>>10011738
May god be with us all, then.

rolled 6 = 6

Err... can I?

>>10011754
Nothing custom, sadly. We're running with the stock game.

>>10011767
Here.

So. Can I?

Woah.

An actual board game being played here?

Don't know how to play, but I will be watching.

Best of luck fellas!

OP, I am confused about the placement of my skills. How I determine what values I use? The rules don't seem very helpful on this.

rolled 9 = 9

Count me in, sir.

>>10011864

Place them however you wish. Notice that when one skill in stack raises, the other one falls. So it's always balanced.

>>10011864
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Main_Page
is a great source of info. But I think he means to do the skills and such later.

>>10011889
Alright, thank you!

>>10011907
No problem Sister. Always glad ta' help...for a price.

So, here's my new sheet.

>>10011864
Each investigator has three "sliders" -- if you notice, the six stats are grouped in twos. At the beginning of the game, you are free to place the slider over any of the four positions of a particular group of two-- for example, you can indicate you want only one "Fight" dice and three "Will" dice by putting the bracket over those two numbers. Be warned, after you set the sliders in their positions, you may only adjust the sliders a number of positions equal to your Focus number per round!

>>10011867
The box burped up card #9 in the pile. You are:
Dexter Drake, the magician!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Dexter_Drake

>>10011964
...what about me, the one who rolled 6? Don't just overlook me.

>>10011974
1d12, friend, and then I think we'll start this thing.

>>10011964
And you can only do the focus thing once a round, right?

rolled 8 = 8

>>10011989

I rolled already, bt 1d16, so fine.

>>10011864
Here ya go chief.

>>10011964
I'll take (4/2) for speed/stealth, (2/2) for fight/will, and (3/2) for lore/luck. I'll keep my own character sheet from my copy of the game handy to speed this up.

>>10011993
During the Upkeep phase, yes. There's a bit of delicious... anticipation about it.

>>10012003
When I turned around, card #8 was floating there. I think it's a sign that you're:
Monterey Jack, the archaeologist! (No Indiana Jones jokes, please.)
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Monterey_Jack

>>10012056
How cheesy.

>>10012056
Great. I'll take (3/1) (3/2) (3/3).

Also, we might just consider doing it in a different way than here, since there is no knowing when we'll slide into nth page oblivion. Just saying.

dice+1d11
I'll play, if that dice roller works...

>>10012118
It sure does, fella, if it's used in the e-mail field.

Someone should make a IRC Channel on TG's server

rolled 2 = 2

Like so?

One more? Okay, but things get more dangerous the more investigators there are...
I've got an AIM contact (A Hanging Plant) if there are pressing questions or accommodations that need to be .. arranged.
Waiting to hear on slider placement from Vincent Lee, and then we'll see about setting up the board.

>>10012158
Just what I had in mind, yes.
>>10012171
Yep.

Alright, waitin' on random possessions. I'm ready otherwise.

FUCK YEAH I LOVE ARKHAM HORROR

fucker takes 8 hours to play though

>>10012171
#2 in the pile shot right up!
You must be:
Michael McGlen, the gangster!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Michael_McGlen

>>10012221

Well, you can always just stop and play later.
And here, I suppose, one could just drop out and be substituted for, as lame as it is.

Okay. While the last two stragglers set up their stats, I'll set up the board and draw the possessions.

Stats set up

It's funny how I believed the game can be finished in less than 3 hours after I read that somewhere. Oh, how foolish I was...

Do you people have any idea how long this is going to take?

Jesus, you must be insane.

>>10012541

We have God on our side!

So whats happening?

What's the holdup? This threads looks like it can go places.

>>10012541

Yep. I'm not sure we all even have that much time. Hell, I'm not sure if I have enough time.

That's why I hope the GAME MASTAR will come up with some ingenious plan as to what to do with inevitable "I have to go, gaiz, sorry..." moments. Stopping and picking up at a set date? Substituting? Ragequitting?

>>10012541
Someone doesn't know that we have...MAGIC on our side.

>>10012560
>>10012595

We have God AND magic on our side!

And Archeology. Khm.

>>10012609

And medicine. Clearly.

Godspeed you crazy bastards.

God (or any deity), if you exist, please let this go without a hitch.

The potential for this thread is too great to let it die.

>>10012630
GOD, MAGIC, ARCHAELOGY, MEDICINE, CAR SALES!

BY YOUR POWERS COMBINED...

Vincent Lee? Oh Vincent Leeeeee~ Where are you?

Anyway, the possessions (snicker) have arrived. In addition to what is already listed on their cards, I will go by character. The wiki should have a copy of all these items available.

>>10012678

I AM CAPTAIN ARKHAM

>>10012726
Captain Arkham, he's a hero. Gonna make insanity go down to zero. He's got powers, magnified, and he's fighting on the mortal's side.

>>10012726

Captain Arkham, he's our hero
Gonna take the Mythos down to zero

He's our powers magnified
And he's fighting on the human's side

Captain Arkham, he's our hero
Gonna take the Mythos down to zero

Gonna help him put asunder
Deep Ones who like to rape and plunder

"You'll pay for this Captain Arkham!"

We're are Delta Green
You can be one too
'Cause saving humanity's the thing to do!

Reading and worshipping is not the way
Hear what Captain Arkham has to say!

>>10012781
>>10012758

Well, this thread got even better.

>>10012781
You are a better person than I am.

Vincent seems to be missing. Anyone want to fill his empty shoes? It looks like something ate him!

If you swap the character with Mandy then I'll join, sure.

>>10012781
YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, CAPTAIN ARKHAM!

>>10012726
>>10012758
>>10012781
I've never seen a triple hivemind before, way to go OP.

>>10012819

Fuck it, I'm down. I fuckin love Vincent Lee

>>10012819
Ya know. People gettin' Eaten ain't a great start for the night.

And I think it's gonna be a loooooong night.

>>10012873

Call me superstitious. I don't do well with Lee. Ever.

>>10012873
Alright, grab a tripcode, you're in. I'm finishing building the board in real life and then I'm going to update the board image for you all.
Then we see what the Mythos drags up.

>>10012893
It gets darkest just before dawn, Bob.

>>10012893

It's a great start, who are you kidding?

Tripping, I guess. It'll go away when the game is done.

>>10012924
Ain't gotta get all spooky with me Miss. I know when the chips are down.

WELL THEN

>>10012922

Fuck yeah. It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and these things don't have any asses.

I'm ready to go.

>>10012945
Perhaps the chips only appear to be down. It may be a classic case of...misdirection.

>>10011713
>my face when someone else actually read Hyperion

Oh, I don't think the previous Lee-Mind posted stats.

>>10012966
Set your stats for me Vince, just finishing setting up.

>>10013051
>>10013044

Hilarious.

>>10013051

Way ahead of you Oh Lord of Games

I've always wondered: if you use the find gate spell, does it count as the gate being 'explored' when you get back?

>>10013126

Pretty sure it does.

I want to play too...

>>10013156

Looks to be a bit late now, I think.

>>10013096
The Great Old Ones will it.

At dawn, the Mythos brings these six Investigators to Arkham, all bent on saving the world from something they cannot name. An interesting Egyptian exhibit has opened at Miskatonic University. The first stirrings of fate blow as a chill breeze across the land.

(http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Egyptian_Exhibit_Visits_Miskatonic_U.)

>>10013156

Stick around buddy. Someone's gonna die or drop out or something, then you can step up to the fight. May as well enjoy the show.

>>10013189

Great, I do love the Ancient Egyptians. Medical pioneers!

By the way.

It needs to be archived.

>>10013213
Lotsa gold too...

Who's first?

A gate opens into the Abyss.

Two monsters slip out into the world:
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Vampire
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Fire_Vampire

(Apologies for the MSPaint, but it's what I've got handy. Oh, and just like the game, turns take place simultaneously unless the order is important. Then we'll decide an order.)

>>10013376

Well, in that case, I'm going to head off to the Science Building. Got a couple friends there who can give me a clue.

I mosey on over to the black cave!

Moving from the Church, to Southside, to the Historical society.

I bet Hibbs Roadhouse has something of note. Let's mosey on over there.

Let's see... 3 and 3 from Ruby, right?
Plenty enough.
I guess it's to Independence Square.

I go to the monster in miskatonic U. streets and attempt to read the strange runes (mythos card).

rolled 1, 2 = 3

>>10013585
try again with dice?

>>10013585
E-mail field, Dexter.

SHIT HAPPENS ALERT

Guys, shit happened. Can't get into details, but the point is: I have to go.
Someone will have to take my place.
Fortunately I only moved, so it won't be much of a problem.

>>10013629
Right, I must've slipped and put it in subject.

>>10013636
There goes that mountain of cheese puns I had for when Jack would do stuff.

>>10013636
DIBS DIBS DIBS

>>10013688

That's why someone will better take my place soon, I can't delay this much.

>>10013706
Cool. ...so...Can I play? I'd need to read the rules pdf...

>>10013706

And there you have the new me. You have my blessings, new guy. Go and be cheesy.

>>10013706

Fuck yeah. Really, players dropping out shouldn't be a problem, as long as there's people waiting to replace them. Our game-lord might be harder to replace though.

>>10013722

See: >>10011306

It's not that hard, you should pick it up as we go.

>>10013725
HOORAY
No, wait, can I actually play? I'd need to read the rules pdf.

Can you guys communally use my character for 20 minutes? I'm going to crash-course the rules and take a bath.

>>10013627
Try as he might, Dexter can't seem to make heads or tails of the exhibit's strange markings.

Drawing Encounters, please roll if necessary:
Mary: Pass a Luck (-1) [2] check to gain insight into a skill while studying the old volumes of books. Draw 1 Skill, but stay here next turn.

Michael: The moaning winds in the cave whisper your name. Lose 1 Sanity.

Vincent: A professor of the occult asks you to hold a hideous statue that he believes to have strange powers while he reads a scroll. Energy shoots through your body. Make a Luck (-1) check. If you pass, your spirit rises from your body and you feel that you have the power to switch bodies with another investigator. You may choose another investigator from the pile of unused investigators and bring it into play as a new character, discarding your current investigator (along with all of his items, skills, trophies, etc.). If you fail, nothing happens.

Jack: You meet Anna Kaslow, a fortune teller who may have some insight into your investigation. Make a Will (-1) check. If you pass, you persuade her to help you. Take her Ally card if it is available. Otherwise, gain 2 Clue tokens. If you fail, nothing happens.

>>10013861

Guess so. Rate we're going, we'll only have done one turn by the time you get back.

rolled 1, 6 = 7

ARGH THE POWER! SWEET, SWEET POWER

rolled 6, 3, 5, 2 + 2 = 18

>>10013882
Hmmm, perhaps the dusty tomes will give me insight into the strange happenings in Arkham.

>>10013882
shouldn't there be a monster at Miskatonic U streets from the mythos card?

>>10013923
You have an... out of body experience.

>>10013950
Nevermind. I've only gotten one chance to play this with my friends, and the rules aren't particularly clear on what "activity at:" means.

rolled 5 = 5

Aha! As I sweep through the misty streets, projected astrally by the power of mine own will, I come across a heroic explorer trying to convince a fortune teller to come along, realising he needs a hand from a charistmatic fellow like myself, I possess him and roll for him!

>>10013999

While other people might be nice, I think I'll stick with my own throbbing hunk of manflesh for the time being.

>>10013999
Oh man, Walters or Simmons. I could give you Dread Curse of Azathoth if you went Walters for rediculous combat.

Cant fucking believe I was not here when this started

An actual board game on /tg/ and I miss it

Oh btw picture related, bgg ? /tg/

Vincent: Sweeps through the town possesses an investigator briefly, and returns to his own body. Whew!

Mary: Success! You find a particularly interesting book on the meaning of courage during dark times. It invokes several passages from the Bible, and resonates with you strongly! You decide to study the book for a while longer, gaining the Bravery skill!

Jack (Briefly possessed by Vincent): finds a surprising amount of eloquence and convinces the fortune teller to come with him. He gains Anna Kaslow as an ally! (And two clue tokens.)
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Anna_Kaslow

rolled 3, 2 = 5

>>10013882
Okay, I'm back. Since I didn't change my Statset around, I'm assuming it's in the first column on the left for everything.

So...at -1, I need to roll 2d6 to attempt the Will check (Will3 + -1modifier = 2)?

>>10014162
Truly, I was guided here by God! I shall remember these passages, and take their lessons with me on my travels through Arkham!

>>10014158

Stick around. People will drop out after a while.

rolled 1, 4 = 5

>>10014181
Guess that was unnecessary. But since I was a post late, and it was a success, I'm not going to complain.

But just be sure, what I wanted to do was the correct thought process, right?

>>10014181

I just rolled off the stats the original Jack chose.

>>10014158

BGG > /tg/

>>10014201

See >>10012089.

But yes, what you did was correct if your Will had been 3

>>10014217
Okay, thanks. I found the post with the stats he listed, thanks. I'll have to change them a bit come upkeep time.

>>10014236
I guess only Michael needs to move.

Day passes into night, and day again. A new Mythos card.

This night proves to be far more sinister than the one preceding it..
Michael is swallowed up by a gate!

>>10014323

Michael no! Come back!

>>10014323
NOOOO
MICHAEL
Wait, was "Investigators" do we even know each other?

>>10014366

Well, having briefly ridden around in your mind, I know you at least. Otherwise, I reckon we'll get to know each other later.

It would be nice if AH had some teamwork mechanics so we could team up to fight monsters.

>>10014366
Well, I live here, so I might know anyone else who lives here.

...Is it upkeep now?
If so, I'd like to spend my 3 move counters to get to Rivertown (if ex-Monterey didn't move at all from the Boarding House).

>>10014401

And I'm a doctor in town, so I might well know someone else too.

Alright, I gotta go, someone can take my spot.

>>10014366
Just yer run of the mill wandering salesman here. Picked up some hints that there were some deals to be made...now...I'm not so sure.

>>10014447
So, it would be likely we know each other.

>>10014459
Oh bugger. Great Unclean One, no offense, but can you play faster? I realize it's hard to GM on 4chan, but it's also hard to keep people in the game...

Wait, can we play on the sup/tg/ chat client?

>>10014498

Or on VASSAL, if there's a module for it.

>>10014498
I think this is about the speed the board game would flow at anyway.

>>10014498
He's going great. He has to pull up cards and issue events, and process all of it. The fact that he's willing is a testament to his endeavor. Things happen.

>>10014518
>>10014524
Well, we can sort of keep the game moving.

HAY /tg/ THERE'S AN OPEN SPOT IN THE GAME

Also, is it upkeep phase?

>>10014524

It's been an hour for one turn bro, in real life we'd have done loads more. Just an unfortunate fat of playing on 4chan.

>>10014558
Plus, we are /tg/ pioneers. We're paving the way for board games on /tg/.

>>10014562

I guess so. Do what you gotta do.

>>10014587
...I move to Rivertown with 3 moves. I'm not going to change skills.

You guys?

>>10014323
Two people appear to walk out of the cave that Michael has just disappeared into.
(Michael enters the Dreamlands.)
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Warlock
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Cultist

Board updated. Michael is delayed, and may not move during his turn.

Upkeep phase.

Lurking anon here.

Just like to say you guys are awesome for doing this.

I'd love to see more of these kinds of threads. Perhaps we could work our way up to wargames, card games, or even TTRPGs.

This is so awesome.

>>10014617
Wait, fuck I was reading wrong. I thought I was where Michael was. I'm actually in the Curio Shop (thought something was wierd).

I expend 3 moves to get to Independence Square.

I'm going to stroll on over to the Unvisited Isle. I hear it's lovely this time of year.

>>10014638
OH MY GOD GREAT UNCLEAN ONE IS PSYCHIC
Thanks for clearing up my fuck-up.

>>10014671
You moved to Independence Square last turn.

>>10014640

Well, if you're up for it, Dexter's just dropped out. If you wanna be a stage magician fighting alien horrors, go right ahead.

>>10014638
Going to walk to Southside, then Uptown, and head for the woods to see if anything strange is going on there. Or to cock block the local football star and his head cheerleader.

>>10014734
Er, when we're done with Upkeep anyway, happy with my stat bar as it is.

>>10014734

Oh Mary, let the kids have their fun. Teenage sex has literally no consequences!

>>10014701

Well fuck.

I spend 3 movement to get to The Unnamable.

>>10014753
But it's nice to make young kids feel like they'll be virgins FOREVER.

Incidentally, if I finish in The Unnamable, I'll have kicked off the Fail part of one of my cards. It's not technically bad now but...

>>10014734
Your turn is skipped, you're still studying the book you found.

>>10014689
Vincent passes an interesting looking fellow on the street outside Miskatonic U. He takes a boat out to an island nearby, gaining a clue token and an Encounter:
Looking up at the night sky from the island, you see constellations that you've never seen before. The entire sky is different here! Lose 1 Sanity and gain 1 Clue token.

>>10014796
>The entire sky is different here! Lose 1 Sanity
What the fuck did he see? It's the sky.

>>10014796

But the Dog Star is in completely the wrong position. This must mean, oh no. Oh no. You cannot be Sirius!

>>10014792
You enter the house and gain a clue token. You also get an encounter!
Pass a Luck (-1) check to find a hidden cache concealed in the wall of an upstairs bedroom. Draw 1 Unique Item.

>>10014753
Except it's a sin in the eyes of God. Plus, that boy needs to be studying.

>>10014796
Oh, sorry, I forgot about that part. I guess no woods exploring for now.

>>10014829
>Pass a Luck (-1) check
Monterey Jack is a certified Lucky Bitch. He currently has 5 luck with his Ally.

So...4d6 then.
With that sor tof luck then I'm not suprised he didn't trip over what he was looking for.

rolled 5, 2, 4, 2 = 13

>>10014867
Sorry, forgot roll.

>>10014732

I'd like to, but I don't know the rules that well, AND I'm supposed to be studying for a test. But stuff like this is fun to read.

Michael picks himself up and finds himself in a strange, strange place. Almost like a garden, in fact.

>>10014892

Man, the Dreamlands is such a nice place to end up. I hope Michael sends us a postcard from Ulthar.

>>10014873
With the help of the fortune teller, you chance upon a hidden compartment. Inside, you pull out a unique item: a strange obsidian statue.
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Obsidian_Statue

It appears we're missing our Michael and Dexter. Anyone want to step in and fill their empty shoes?
I think three investigators have been eaten so far..

>>10014953
Cool. Who's playing for Michael and Dexter?
Mary or Vincent, you guys do it.

>>10014989

Right then. I'll play Dexter, that creepy motherfucker.

Since he loves his magic so much, he can take a wander over to the Silver Twilight Lodge and pay a visit to mister Stanford.

>>10014984
Great Unclean One, I know I just got one Unique item, but my character base already had 2. Do I draw them now, or do I draw for them if they're needed for some reason?

Bob walks into Hibb's Roadhouse and picks up two clue tokens. As he's eating a meal, he has an encounter:
Joey "The Rat" Vigil slips into an empty chair at your table and whispers, "Pssst! Wanna buy something?" Look at the top 3 cards of the Common Item deck. You may purchase any or all of them for $1 above the list price. "Hey, I've got overhead!" the Rat explains
He has a few things stashed away that might help:

Also, I'd like to cue off my Archaeology ability and expend 1 of my 5 clues. Can I see what other Unique item I could have gotten?

>>10015070

See: >>10012690

You've got: Ruby of R'lyeh, Cabala of Saboth

>>10015103

You don't need to spend a clue token to do that. Save 'em for sealing gates.

>>10015097
Ah, sorry to bother you, then. I was using Ctrl+F using "monterey" as the search word, so I didn't get that post as a hit.

>>10015103
I completely forgot!
Fff, and I forgot during setup as well. Oops. We'll just have to play it straight since no one else noticed, unless you really don't like having +3 movement and a fancy book. Well, the other Unique you can choose from in this instance is:
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/The_King_in_Yellow_%28item%29

>>10015145
Oh, okay then.

SCRATCH MY ABILITY PLEASE, GREAT UNCLEAN ONE.

>>10014984
Filling in for Michael. Let me check his Luck

>>10015158

Oh boy, I hear that got rave reviews in Europe. It must be good.

>>10015164
Okay, scratch the scratch. I'll ditch the Obsidian Idol.

Hell yeah I'm going to go insane and read the Yellow King.

>>10015196
Later, I mean.

rolled 2 + 1 = 3

Alright, I gotta cross t'rough dis wacky place.

>>10015248
Did he pass?

>>10015272

Nope, no success (5's or 6's).

>>10015082
A bullwhip eh? I like the sound of that! I'll buy it, and damn the consequences!

-$3 for a snazzy snapper.

"Let's get crackin'"

Bob buys the whip, but Michael can't seem to find the bird..

Mythos time.

The Great Unclean One does not make mistakes, time and space bend at his command!
Dexter visits the Lodge. He gains a clue token, and..
Carl Sanford draws you into the study to talk and you feel the cold creep of dread listening to him. Make a Lore (-1) check. If you pass, your willpower stands up to the test of the ancient wizard and you even learn something of value. Gain 3 Clue tokens. If you fail, his hypnotic tones lull you into a trance. The conversation seems short, but when you leave the study, much time has passed and your thoughts are confused. Lose all of your Clue tokens and move to the street.

>>10015322
NO DAD, NO!

>>10015322
Oh dear. This does not sound kosher.

>>10015381

Give up Stanford! Your mind powers are no match for me, the Incredible Dexter Drake!

>>10015392
Cloak. Dagger. Bullwhip. Book of very Scary Things, and a jug of holy water.

I am now prepared for anything.

rolled 1, 2, 5 = 8

>>10015424

Let's try that again/

>>10015442
Three clue tokens.

Another day, another Mythos card.
Jack attempts to leave the Unnamable, but as he starts to open the door, the walls fall away and the door opens up to reveal... another world.
Jack is sucked into the City of the Great Race!
Two monsters slip out into the world:

Updating board.

>>10015533
It's like God is guiding me.

>>10015533
AUGH! OH BUGGER!
SAVE ME ANNA!
WORK YOUR GYPSY-MAGIC!

>>10015533

Hoo boy, there are rather a lot of monsters appearing. Looks like I might need to perform a little... improvised surgery.

i call ashcan pete

>>10015593
God is my strength.

>>10015595

Well, Dexter Drake and Michael McGlen are free.

>>10015552
What horrible horrors will the GM draw to afflict upon me and Anna?

>>10015649
Also, can I theoretically spend clues to close the gate I fell into? I don't have enough right now, but if I read the King in Yellow...

>>10015649

Stick together and you'll get back to Arkham soon enough. I'll handle some of these monsters!

The updated board.

>>10015667

>Investigators in other worlds receive no movement points.

Nope. Don't think so. Hopefully you might get some as you go through Pnakotus

>>10015720
I'm eagerly awaiting the check I'll have to try and make.

>>10015716

Hm. If I'm right, then I have 4 Clue Tokens. Not enough to seal a gate, and I'm not good enough to go fighting any of the monsters. So I'm going to go to the Newspaper office and see if I can't learn a little more.

So, happy with my skills again. Gonna move myself over to the woods, to check out the happenings, and see if those teens are still at it.

Dex spends his 4 movement to go to the woods to find out what he can.

>>10015795
You enter the newspaper office to find an encounter:
Pass a Luck (-1) check to find an article that a local citizen told you would shed light on the recent strange activities. Gain 1 Clue token.

>>10015817

Or not, if the good Sister gets there first. Instead, Dexter will continue to hang out at the Lodge and see what he can learn.

rolled 2, 1 = 3

>>10015825

Papers papers reveal to me your secrets!

>>10015716
Moving to Easttown.

Mary:
2 clue tokens. You also find:
You are bushwhacked by the Sheldon Gang. Pass a Luck (-1) check to avoid their trap. If you fail, lose 2 items of your choice and 2 Stamina.

Dexter:
You hear the quiet sounds of an intruder. If you investigate, you find a woman dressed in black. She attacks you as soon as she sees you. Pass a Fight (-1) check to subdue her long enough to explain your investigation. You find out that her name is Ruby Standish and that she was robbing the Lodge. However, upon hearing your tale, she agrees to join you. Take her Ally card. If it is not available, draw a Unique Item instead.

>>10015894
Wait, the game wants an Investigator to beat up a woman until she agrees to help him/her fight and seal awa an evil horror from before time?

rolled 3, 5, 5, 5 = 18

>>10015894
God will protect me from those Sheldon hooligans!

>>10015913
More of a "restrain her" but yeah sure you got it.

>>10015919
Jeez. You christ the FUCK out of their trap.

While everyone else is catching up on their rolls, it's time to handle the Other World.
Michael moves into the final space of the Dreamlands.
Jack picks himself up. Encounter time.

rolled 6 = 6

>>10015894

Why, my good woman, don't struggle, just look into my eyes not around the eyes look into the eyes don't look around the eyes look into the eyes

>>10015935
OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR

>>10015942

You're under.

rolled 1, 4, 5, 1 = 11

>>10015933
Of course! God would not let any harm come upon me!

It's probably going to be around 4AM EST time when the game gets HALFWAY though, I just realized.

>>10015970
Forgot I had the dice command still in there.

>>10014323

Well shit, we completely forgot about this.

>>10015980
... Well, darn. God has a plan for everything.

>>10015972

You think that's bad? It's 4 o'clock in the morning for me now.

I'm pondering dropping out. Especially since the sun is beginning to come up.

>>10015880
Scratch that. Upkeep was rolled on by. Moving to the Graveyard.

Michael gets another encounter with Dreamlands wildlife, the lucky bastard.

Jack, on the other hand, draws The Stars Are Right. Reshuffling the encounter deck..

>>10015954
Ruby Standish agrees to help you.
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Ruby_Standish
>>10015919
You must be blessed.

>>10015998
So, those Sheldon punks take my cross and holy water. I hope they like going to Hell, because that's what happens when you steal from nuns.

>>10016028
Oh, it's a success? I thought with the negative from the trap, and the negative from the mythos I would have failed.

Though, I AM blessed.

rolled 2, 3, 5, 4 = 14

>>10016028
Making a Luck Check with Anna...

rolled 1, 1, 4, 1 = 7

>>10016048
Oh thank god. Also, how do I get out of this hellhole?

>>10016028
The Stars Are Right for a quick nap.

Bob visits the graveyard, and has a close encounter of the undead kind.
Descending into a dark mausoleum, you discover a vampire rising to feed. You quickly find yourself fighting for your life. Make a Combat (-2) check. If you pass, you defeat the vampire, gaining 1 Clue token and drawing 1 Unique Item. If you fail, roll a die and lose that much Stamina.

>>10016048
Technically you have a Luck of 3 on a (-1) check. You still make it though, the 5 was your third roll.
You exit the gate in a burst of Harmony Harmony OH LOVE! Gonna close it? Better roll to find out.

rolled 2 = 2

>>10016077
Jesus Johovifax! Get some Holy Water on this creepy Crawler!

rolled 2, 5, 3, 5, 2, 1 = 18

>>10016104
Whoops Gotta roll right. We'll count that as one of my die.

Yeah, sorry guys, but I'm going to have to drop out now. I need to get some sleep some time.

If you could, email me and let me know how things go, and if you're gonna play again. I could really be down for finishing things off.

>>10016096
Oh, I thought that negative was to my roll.

>>10016096
1. Allies don't follow through gates?
2. What do I roll?
3. Oh goddammit Vincent left.

>>10016096
Whoops. You can't close a gate as soon as you exit it. Look at all those monsters you've got to fight through first!

Bob gives the waking vampire a drink before it knows what's going on. He gains a clue token, and finds a Unique item on the body:
It's an Elder Sign!
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Elder_sign

Anyone want to fill in for Vincent? Speak up while I update the board and draw a mythos card.
Additionally, Mary, I need to lean on you to make the Upkeep roll to keep your blessing each round.

ATTENTION SINNERS! WE'RE RECRUITING PEOPLE! WE NEED A FILL IN FOR VINCENT, AND... Who else?

>>10016219
Michael.

>>10016219

Michael McGlin the gangster and Dexter Drake, the stage magician.

And with that, I've been Vincent Lee. Signing off. Keep on fighting the good fight Arkham!

rolled 2 = 2

>>10016189
UPKEEP

Vincent has a front row seat to the headline that appears the following day.
A Gug is returned to the cup, the terror track stands at 1.
Two new monsters emerge to plague the world, bringing us perilously close to meeting the monster limit (We are at 7 out of 9).
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Witch
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Ghoul
Updating the board. Upkeep phase.

>>10016189
Is it a new turn now?

I have to put my ass on the line for humanity and fight two monsters. That Gug looks to be hard.

>>10016300
Oh hey. Cool. Sort of. I just have to beat up this whiny dude in the cloak and seal the gate.

rolled 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 5 = 18

Somebodies gotta do it. I'll be moving to The Witch House.

>>10016300
Oh fuck, gugs.

IRL Arkham Horror, our group has something like a 1-7 record when it comes to killing gugs.

rolled 5 = 5

>>10016242
I think I will stay put in the Woods for now.

>>10016381
keep forgetting to turn my dice off.

Can I initiate fighting the lone Cultist yet? I need to make a horror check right?

Best be careful out on the streets after dark. There's a fire vampire on the loose.

You may have noticed that we have turned off the "Upkeep phase" sign. You are now free to move about the town.

>>10016435
I make a horror check against the cultist to proceed combat, right?

Fucking keep on rocking, /tg/.

>>10016474
You're still in the Great City. Taking a nap, I think. GET OUT OF HERE, INVESTIGATOR!

>>10016486
You let me leave. I made a successful check there already. It's Explored(?).

>>10016503
Oops. I thought you were making the Luck check for Michael.

>>10016486
I'm sitting still in the woods. What's Glen, Vincent, and Dexter up to?

>>10016547
Michael, not Glen... The hell am I thinking?

>>10016547
Sitting quiet.

/tg/ JOIN US IN THIS GAME

WE HAVE THREE FUCKING OPEN SPOTS

PLEASE JOIN

>>10016547
As well, I think I'll move to Miskatonic's library instead of sitting.

>>10016547
Michael passed a Luck roll thanks to my confusion with Jack. His shoes are still empty. Vincent is at the Newspaper office waiting for someone to fill his shoes, while Dexter is hanging about in the Silver Twilight Lodge with his new assistant. Also vacant shoes.

>>10016593
Wait, so I'm still stuck in the damn City of the Great Race? FUCK

I THOUGHT I FINALLY GOT A MONSTER TROPHY AND SOME MORE CLUES

>>10016593
Can we just cut them from the game and run the game using "two" players?

>>10016593
If Dexter moves to the Witch's House, will he get the clue there before being sent to the Abyss?

In any case. Mary enters Miskatonic's Library.
You look up to see Abigail Foreman leaning over you with hands on hips and a frustrated look on her face. Make a Will (-1) check. If you pass, she helps you find the book you were looking for. Take the first Tome from the Unique Item deck. If you fail, you've made too much noise. She escorts you out of the Library. Move to the street.

Bob cruises into the Witch House to pick up a clue token and faces a vampire. The vampire hisses and bares its fangs. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

>>10016690
>offer to help a lady
>get kicked out for earnestly trying to help her
What a bitch.

Also, am I free or not?

rolled 6 = 6

>>10016690
God, grant me the quietness to find the book.

>>10016743
Oh yeah. He's dead, but did you really have 8d6 before the -3 modifier?

>>10016743
You show that Cullen boy who's boss!

>>10016716
You pass the -3 Horror check with that first (6).
Roll again for the actual FIGHT.

>>10016731
You get an encounter after the real world stuff is done. Go ahead and move for Michael and Vincent and Dexter if you guys want. It doesn't look like anyone's picking up the torch.

>>10016770
Shit. Scratch that. Re-reading rules.

>>10016793
Aww...I don't get to use the encounter I actually passed?

>>10016793
I'ma gonna cruise over toooo... The Unvisited Isle, why not.

rolled 4, 4 = 8

I am making a Lore check to close this gate to the Dream Lands.

Anyone want to takeover for Vincent? Or should I make a move with him, too?

Do I do ANYTHING?

>>10016755
She helps you find a book of interest.
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Cultes_des_Goules

>>10016961
Make Vincent move for now, then do something when your card is drawn.

rolled 4 = 4

>>10016913
Michael gets a bonus dice to see if he closes the gate. But first you need to fight the monsters outside the gate...
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Warlock
http://www.arkhamhorrorwiki.com/Cultist

>>10016839
Dexter goes to the Unvisited Isle.

>>10016996
I think we should just ignore Vincent for now. I have 10-odd cards that give me (potential) modifiers, and so does he (as well as an unknown number of clues and possible Unique items).

rolled 6 = 6

>>10017018
Dexter experiences The Happening, but without the twist ending.
The willows sway in a wind that you cannot hear or feel, and for a moment, the hatred of these ancient trees for the invader who has come to their island drives you to your knees. Pass a Will (-2) check or lose 3 Sanity.

rolled 1, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 2, 5 = 25

>>10017018
Gonna blast that Warlock with my Tommy gun.

>>10017062
So, that's minus two will dice. I only have two will dice.

>>10017099
Fights in Arkham Horror begin with a Will-based Horror check. You have to make that one first before you start blasting the Warlock.

>>10017159
3 insanity later, the world makes sense for Dexter again.

rolled 4 = 4

>>10017175
Oh, I thought that was for Mythos punks. Sorry. Hope I pass.

rolled 4 = 4

>>10017201
YAY!

Keep forgetting to turn the dice off.

>>10017218
-1 sanity. Now roll for combat. 3 successes to defeat him.

rolled 5, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3 = 33

>>10017244
FUCKING MYTHOOOOS

>>10017287
The Warlock goes down, riddled full of bullet holes. Michael gains the first Monster Trophy. Now for the cultist..

rolled 6, 3 = 9

>>10017313
Gotta fuck up his day, too? Well then, rolling my Will first.

>>10017359
Cultists don't cause Horror checks, but okay!

I'm losing sanity

rolled 4, 4, 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 6 = 30

>>10017370
Looks like he... Boosts my combat rating? Is that possible? Shooting him next, since it seems I don't need to exhaust the gun to fire it.

>>10017393
You awake, to find..

rolled 4, 1, 5, 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3 = 30

>>10017393
Take control of someone else for the time being, then.

>>10017411
Two successes later, the cultist goes down as well, leaving Michael with two trophies worth five toughness in total. The gate is closeable now!

rolled 6, 3, 4, 1 = 14

>>10017413
I'm sorry to be so impatient. But this game is slow even by /tg/ standards. It's not you're fault; it's just that a game of so many players on 4chan is hard to manage.

If allies count, and I'm at -1 then...

rolled 5, 5, 1, 5 = 16

>>10017464
>you're
holy crap i am losing sanity i'm so sleepy

rolled 5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 3 = 19

>>10017431
GOD DAMN, CLOSE THAT BASTARD! Closing it with my fight check, since it seems I can do that.

Let's leave Vincent where he is.

>>10017464
Success, you maintain your sanity.
Bob's still deciding what to do..

>>10017482
The gate is closed! You gain a gate token.

>>10017486
Editor Doyle Jefferies offers you a Retainer in return for your fascinating stories. Take a Retainer card.

Bob?

It appears interest has tapered off.

I'm going to keep the board set up so that I can pick this up tomorrow afternoon. I'm not sure if it's archived, so I'll write up everyone's statuses to spam at the beginning of the next thread.

>>10017592
>pick this up tomorrow afternoon
Oh goddammit.
Well, when are you free to do it? I can't play until after 4PM EST.

>>10017592
Well, darn.

This is a cool idea. I'll look for it in the future, I guess

>>10017623
I'm in MDT, so that is no problem at all. We'll resume at that time, then.

Archived for you guys.

>>10017742
Ah, I may be a bit late, but okay.

>this thread
Result: three turns have passed

>>10017756
>Archived for you guys.
Where? This thread is beyond the bounds of sup/tg/.

>>10018354
I just hacked the gibson. It's available for voting.

Damn I wish I would have been here earlier.

I hope you do this again OP, I fucking love Arkham Horror.
