Anybody seen The Path of Y'ha-nthlei in stores ?
Hybrid replied to chicklewis's topic in CoC General Discussion
It is not yet available in my neck of the woods. The 'Upcoming' page has it's release as 'UPDATED' to this month? -
Got your e-mail! I've sent a message off to Graham. Thanks! Hybrid said: Carioz, I've initiated a friend request . You should respond to it to make PMing possible. I'd be happy to exchange contact info. Carioz said: If you're talking about Evilos / The Rip-Off / Graham Hill, he asked me to give you his contact. PM me please.

Matt Kohls is the author of the article 'Recruiting Cultists' and within the article he explains why he enjoys the LCG format and the 'Adventure Leagues'.

I've done the friend request thing so that PMing might be possible.

Yeah, I did notice and I am very curious to know the source of this very nice but appropriately odd artwork? With no obvious Dreamlands connection I am forced to guess I'd say it's from the 6th and final 'Spawn of the Sleeper' AP 'The Path of Y'ha-nthlei' which focuses on the strange and terrifying transformations of the Cthulhu Mythos. The intent of the artist is to render a scene where two individuals are having their brains exchanged. I see no Migo connection. The equipment in the foreground appears to be merely typically medical in nature however a bit too modern for the '30s pulp era. This strikes me as being a work of Tony Shasteen (Bite Marks). Did you notice that when you mouse the image it says, "We did not have to do this to Matt Kohls to convince him of the LCG concept" ? Very nice!

I don't recognize that name. What were his forum names?

Greetings intrepid heroes and despicable villains! Once again the Call of Cthulhu leagues were blessed with exceptional sportsmanship and white knuckle competition. I am indebted to every player. Your patience and general attitude made it a pleasure to run and participate in the leagues. In our Spring league the Mythos factions of Shub-Niggurath and Hastur dominated but the human factions of Agency and Miskatonic University dynamited and machine-gunned their way to victory over the dark forces of Hastur and Cthulhu in our recently concluded Summer league. I'd like to thank John Dickerson our runner-up. His enthusiasm and skill as a first time league member impressed all who faced him. I can tell you that I was on edge every time I sat across from him. No doubt John will be a force to be reckoned with in future leagues! Congradulations to Paul Bittner, the Call of Cthulhu Summer League Champion! His custom trophy/domains are currently being designed so keep an eye out for that, it will be something very special! Leeeeeets get ready to rumble! Wednesday, July 1st marks the first week of our third Call of Cthulhu Card Game League. League play will conclude on August 5th with a best of 3 match between the two players with the top overall records. Any scheduled matches not played on Wednesdays can be made up anytime prior to the following Wednesday. League fees are $1 a week but of course you may pay for all 6 weeks at once. As usual prizes will be awarded to all participants. We are expanding our beginning card pool in this league to; 1 Core Set, 1 of every currently available Asylum Pack + one more AP of player's choice. In weeks 2 and 4 of the league players will be able to add newly available APs or double or triple up on previously selected APs. A player who has recorded losses to all other participants may also add an AP to their card pool. We will be running the Adventure League Senario 'Heads of Fate' again. Hopefully FFG will have a new senario for our Fall league. A constructed LCG tournament and possibily an Eldritch Edition Booster Draft will be scheduled for the two off weeks following league play. We are looking forward to welcoming some new players to the league so why not introduce some friends to the game and the leagues? Sanity is afterall, over-rated! See you soon. Your humble Servitor, Jeff Secraft.

I am sure that I'm not the only Call of Cthulhu player to notice and slaver over the house Kraken resin cast! I would imagine that the dimensions are right for it to function as a Domain Card. Certainly the subject matter is ideal! I hope these will be available for purchase seperately! Maybe FFG should consider including them in the next League kit?

I am attempting to make contact with a Call of Cthulhu player who I was in contact with on the previous but now dead Cthulhu forums. First I apologize for misplacing your contact information and secondly I'd like to inform you that I have plans to be out your way in September and it would be a distinct possiblity for me to bring some decks.

sepayne7l said: Thanks. I know that Hat's games on Alvernone and 29th supports the game pretty well. They tried organizing a tournament earlier that didnt pan out. I'm hoping they do again. If they don't I was going to try. Either way I'll be collecting the cards, but it would be nice to play. When you say, "... supports the game pretty well." what do they do specifically? Are they running demos? Do they have a Servitor? Are they running leagues? If the answer is 'no' to any or all of those questions, would you consider taking a more active role?

I have a friend that lives in Sierra Vista that is often in Tucson. He collected and played the ccg to a considerable extent. He hasn't gotten involved with the lcg mostly because no one plays out there. He retired from the USAF so he doesn't make it up to Phoenix much anymore. I'll have him contact you if he's interested.

White border: some considerations + example deck.
Hybrid replied to Konx's topic in CoC General Discussion
Good to here your enthusiasm Konx ! This post however really should be moved to the 'Deck Construction' thread. -
Thanks Marius. Our next Adventure league could very well include at least 1 'Shower' deck so I wanted to be sure.
-
Bravo! Bravo! Well done indeed!
-
I am aware of the ruling affecting neutral resources but I'm unaware of any ruling that has determined that they have no faction affiliation when in play. This could be the case certainly. What is the original source of this ruling? Marius said: Neutrals lack faction affiliation. So, they are never of "another faction"

Brian Lumley -- yea or nay?
Hybrid replied to JerusalemJones's topic in The World of H. P. Lovecraft
Has anyone read the short story 'Fruiting Bodies' by Lumley? I cannot recommend it enough! -
Included in the Core Set is a Conspiracy card which is a Story Card you build into your deck and put into play from your hand. Other Conspiracy cards have been included in many of the 'Spawn Of The Sleeper' series Asylum Packs. Other than those Conspiracies the 10 card story deck in the Core is all we have for official play. There are two other Story Card Decks from the collectible days of the game. They shouldn't be too hard to come by if you're interested. An expansion to the first Core Set is in the works and I'd imagine it will include a new Story Card Deck.

Thanks for your input! 'Byte me' (sp?) chicklewis said: Q: "I'll rephrase, can a player loose icon struggles even though he has no characters commited to stories during the icon struggles?" A: Yes (but it is spelled "Lose")
-
I'm suprised that more isn't being said about Parallel Universe ! It will allow Mythos factions to easily win the Investigation struggle, it gives Human factions the potenial to dominate Terror struggles and it can be played as a suprise on your opponents turn after characters have been commited! Yikes!
-
Maybe my question was unclear because I'm a bit confused by your answer, what does 'then' have to do with it? I'll rephrase, can a player loose icon struggles even though he has no characters commited to stories during the icon struggles? Donalds' reasoning is uhhh.... reasonable but it would be nice to have an official ruling, please? It's not a huge issue but depending on the call 'Vengeful Hit' can go from 'okay' to 'not worth a plug nickle'! johnny shoes said: "Then" indicates that it must be committed to a story to trigger the conditional part. Uncommitted, floating free, just hanging out, otherwise in the field of play, unstorified, swinging single, undeckdiscardhanded characters need not apply, whatever language you find most clear.

Poker Effect : What is your favourite one ?
Hybrid replied to PRODIGEE's topic in CoC General Discussion
Typically, if over-commiting to cover for the potenial of my opponent playing a card that will hamper my efforts, if this over-commitment will put me in a bad situation for the next turn then I will not over commit. I'll play it straight up and suffer the consequences of whatever they have up their sleeve. For me there are no 'never's or 'always'. There is alot to consider for certain game situations. -
Please pardon if this question has already been addressed. At a glance I didn't find an answer in the rule books, faq or rules discussion. With a card like, 2 Vengeful Hit Disrupt: After you loose an I struggle, choose a character with an I icon, remove that character from the story it is commited to, then exhaust it if it is not already exhausted E v e n t I am assuming that in order for a player to 'loose' a particular icon struggle said player must have a character commited at the story during that struggle. Or not?

Poker Effect : What is your favourite one ?
Hybrid replied to PRODIGEE's topic in CoC General Discussion
In my meta bluffing is a waste of time. The philosophy here is, 'force them to play the card if they have it' so the game situation is taken at face value. Of course if I have extra resources I'll over-commit to cover for possible cards my opponent might play. I might also hold cards to counter my opponents play but I never allow myself to be bluffed. -
Zanned again: the misspell of doom strikes back (Skill edition)
Hybrid replied to Carioz's topic in CoC General Discussion
It would be nice if someone official would please acknowledge our concerns and reassure the community that correcting the deficiencies will be a priority.
