[List of [Question]s]

Have just run into the Flute of the Outer Gods ("Discard after rolling to defeat one monster").  Similar to Bind Monster.  Not sure if I should just take the trophy, pick out and place the appropriate dice on it to complete the task or something else completely.  Although, just considering the monster "task" as completed seems simplest.

I'll be waiting to buy it...

I'd love to see a movie adaption of Charles Dexter Ward, simply due to the fact that if the order of scenes in the movie is even halfway close to the book, that alone should make it fun.  A little Medias Res, anyone?

It was called The Resurrected when I saw it (seems to have been retitled Shatterbrain).  Was slightly more faithful than most HPL movie adaptations, which, I know, isn't saying much, but the plot was sorta the same.  Been a long time since I saw it, but I seem to remember not totally hating it.

Thanks for the response Loprw!

Was pretty sure on the first 2, but that FAQ entry was throwing me.  Just seemed such an odd way to put it, that it made me wonder if I was missing something important (like that "imaginary pile of actions" you mentioned).  All makes sense now, thanks again

[New player, rules clarifications?]

Greetings all.

I had, until recently, resisted the urge to get into any collectible/LCG card games, even ones based on my favorite (CoC) game license. 

But, broke down and got the CoC core set this week and played a few games yesterday, using the 2 factions + 1 neutral set suggested in the rulebook.  As might be expected, first couple of games had a few hiccups (exhausting committed characters makes a big difference ), but by the last one I'm pretty sure we were getting it mostly right.

However, even after combing the rulebook again and reading the FAQ still had a couple of things I wanted to double check.

1. Support cards with passive effects have no time limit and do what they do until the card is destroyed/removed somehow (like the altar that gives all your controlled characters +1 Skill)?
2. Actions that only have a resource cost (like Ygolnac's "ready a character" or Slavering Gug's "cause a wound") can be used repeatedly, as long as you have the un-drained domains to pay for them?
3. In reference to #2 above.  There is a place  in the FAQ ("However, since Jack "Brass" Brady is no longer in play and is thus an illegal target, the Slavering Gug' is ignored and discarded without effect"), that makes it sound like you discard a card if you use it's action.  I'm completely misunderstanding this, right?  Or did I miss something kind of important in the rulebook?

Thanks in advance for your help
