    Hi,

     The spell bound shoggoth card says "all other characters get -1 skill". What is the definition of "character"?  Is it any "creature" - human, monster, servitor etc or does it just mean humans? I take it that the -1 skill appliesto both players.

    Can anyone help clarify?

    Cheers

    I have to agree with PearlJamaholic.  The Colour Out of  Space is my favorite too.  Has anyone read the unofficial sequel book The Colour Out of Time (done in 1985)?

    I got this when it came out - I'm afraid that I wasn't massively impressed. As far as I can remember, it starts off as quite a good pastiche, but it loses it as the story develops. Pick up a cheap copy if you come across one, but I'd stick with the original every time.

    You're right, if you're playing just with the Core set, a deck will only consist of 47 cards: two factions with 20 cards each and 7 neutral cards; the conspiracy card is actually never used.

    Miskatonic is one card short and Agency has one extra because Card F23, which should be a part of the Miskatonic University faction is printed as an Agency faction card - "Steve Clarney".

    Ah! That explains it! - The stray conspiracy card was my next question!

    I take it that you count card F23 as a Miskatonic card.

    Thanks for your help, that makes things clearer.

    Hi,

    I've just got my copy of the the game - I've never played it before, so I'm coming to it totally new. I'm hoping to have my first game this coming weekend.

    I've gone through the rules and there are a few things I'm not sure about. First off, I've a question about deck size. I noticed a section in the rule book about tournment decks being a minimum of 50 cards, but what about normal play?  The rulebook says just combine two of the mini decks with some of the "neutral" cards. However, some of the decks have different numbers of cards in them. Would this make a difference to the game?

    Also, If anyone has any suggestions for combinations to make two decks for a first game that would be appreciated too!

    I'm sure there will be more things I don't understand - but any help from old timers is much appreciated!

    Cheers.
